February 2008 reviewer said, "Wolf Creek is usually my 1st stop during my annual ski week. On arrival day, I cannot get on the slopes until the afternoon. Add to this the fact that I just need to knock off the rust, and Wolf Creek is the ideal spot. I can get a cheap lift ticket and ski until 9pm.''
