Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This place is awesome. The coffee is wonderful. Ski up and grab a hot drink, a beer or lunch. It is great to sit back in the warmth and watch the ski fields and all the activity. Or sit outside for some sunshine and laughs...while watching the passing parade. The staff are friendly and it is a great location for people watching while escaping the cold and resting your legs.More

We wanted to learn how to ski and Aki’s place provided the right lesson for beginners who cant converse in Japanese. Ann sensei was very attentive. Her instructions were very clear and always careful whenever we go down the slopes. Of course I fell down...numerous times but sensei never gave up on me. Thanks to her ongoing encouragement we finally learned how to ski. Mine is not perfect yet but I promise to come again to conquer the mountain! Thanks Ann Sensei and Aki san. You guys were awesome! Ohwwwwww...the Quattro formargio pizza was soooo good! Thanks! xx B & Z from Malaysia xxMore

Great pizza and fries and the best hot chocolate and coffee! Child friendly atmosphere and wonderful service. Located in the middle of the slope, ski in and ski out for a perfect meal to keep the energy up in the powder!

After falling in powder and struggling for nearly 10 mins to get up, I have never been so thankful to see a mid mountain food stop in my life. There’s heaters to dry your gear and friendly staff. The cheeseburger was excellent and the chips...were big and chunky. Definitely worth a stop on your way down.More
