Vertical range, lift access and terrain value.
Dense lift accessHigh published capacityAbove-average snow rating
Altitude resilience
Snow reliability is likely to depend more strongly on aspect, weather cycles and snowmaking than on extreme altitude. The 1176 m vertical range also creates meaningful temperature and snow-quality differences from valley to summit.
Lift infrastructure
About 2.8 slope km per lift indicates a relatively dense access network. Published hourly capacity is 27,000 persons, about 1688 persons/hour per lift and 600 per slope kilometre.
