Altitude, access and value

Vertical range, lift access and terrain value.

Strong vertical rangeDense lift accessHigh published capacityStrong terrain value
Altitude resilience Snow reliability is likely to depend more strongly on aspect, weather cycles and snowmaking than on extreme altitude. The 1240 m vertical range also creates meaningful temperature and snow-quality differences from valley to summit.
Lift infrastructure About 2.7 slope km per lift indicates a relatively dense access network. Published hourly capacity is 82,457 persons, about 1832 persons/hour per lift and 687 per slope kilometre. The lift system totals 48.4 km, averaging about 1.1 km of lift line per lift.
