Altitude resilience
Snow reliability is likely to depend more strongly on aspect, weather cycles and snowmaking than on extreme altitude.
Lift infrastructure
About 0.4 slope km per lift indicates a relatively dense access network. Published hourly capacity is 1,220 persons, about 610 persons/hour per lift and 1525 per slope kilometre. The lift system totals 0.8 km, averaging about 0.4 km of lift line per lift.

Altitude
-
Share of mapped ski terrain by elevation band.
The mapped terrain is concentrated between 1,000 and 2,000 m, with no terrain below 1,000 m. Snow conditions therefore depend mainly on mid-mountain exposure, weather cycles and snowmaking rather than on vulnerable valley-floor sectors.

Slope angle
-
Share of mapped terrain by slope-angle class.
The combined steeper share is about 8%, leaving 92% as moderate or gentler terrain. Most of the ski area is broadly accessible, but advanced or expert experience is useful on selected sectors, particularly when surfaces are firm or visibility is poor.

Aspect distribution and its likely influence on sun and snow retention.
West-facing terrain is prominent, increasing afternoon sun exposure. Surface quality may therefore change more noticeably later in the ski day.
