Sunset and the summit cafe deck are the only places where you can get a good look at the entire pond.

Thanks for the tip @127y … While checking out the view from the summit cafe deck yesterday I noticed a group of skiers on the pond. A ski patroller told me there is a tradition that once a year this group will make a happy face in the pond with their tracks and I just happened to be there on the right day !

Later in the day I returned to see the completed image:

It’s a little hard to make out, but at the top of the circle, they made a set of googles, then beneath that the nose and then the smiling mouth. Please post if you have a better picture of the final image (or images from previous years), I couldn’t find anything on Loons official channels.

Thats cool - you need to ski with a rather expensive drone ( this way you can have it follow you down) I'm sure they are not allowed at ski areas but these are cool:
