Altitude, access and value

Vertical range, lift access and terrain value.

Strong terrain value
Altitude resilience Snow reliability is likely to depend more strongly on aspect, weather cycles and snowmaking than on extreme altitude. The 1100 m vertical range also creates meaningful temperature and snow-quality differences from valley to summit.
Lift infrastructure About 3.5 slope km per lift indicates a broadly balanced lift-to-terrain ratio. Published hourly capacity is 53,443 persons, about 1572 persons/hour per lift and 445 per slope kilometre. The lift system totals 38.5 km, averaging about 1.1 km of lift line per lift.
