Vertical range, lift access and terrain value.
Lower-elevation sensitivity
Altitude resilience
Snow reliability is likely to depend more strongly on aspect, weather cycles and snowmaking than on extreme altitude. The 1030 m vertical range also creates meaningful temperature and snow-quality differences from valley to summit.
Lift infrastructure
About 4.6 slope km per lift indicates a broadly balanced lift-to-terrain ratio. Published hourly capacity is 16,980 persons, about 1698 persons/hour per lift and 369 per slope kilometre. The lift system totals 9.8 km, averaging about 1.0 km of lift line per lift.

Aspect distribution and its likely influence on sun and snow retention.
East-facing terrain is prominent, favouring earlier sun and often firmer snow later in the day once direct morning exposure has passed.

The nursery slopes in Lofer are brilliant as the are totally self contained and easy to supervise. The transition to the other available slopes is also very good. I have normally been there at Easte..
