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 910 m vertical range also creates meaningful temperature and snow-quality differences from valley to summit.
Lift infrastructure
About 4.3 slope km per lift indicates a broadly balanced lift-to-terrain ratio. Published hourly capacity is 28,023 persons, about 1401 persons/hour per lift and 330 per slope kilometre. The lift system totals 16.4 km, averaging about 0.8 km of lift line per lift.

Aspect distribution and its likely influence on sun and snow retention.
North-facing terrain is prominent, generally favouring colder snow retention and slower daytime softening. Sunnier aspects may still change more quickly during mild weather.
