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 1249 m vertical range also creates meaningful temperature and snow-quality differences from valley to summit.
Lift infrastructure
About 3.4 slope km per lift indicates a relatively dense access network. Published hourly capacity is 146,520 persons, about 1809 persons/hour per lift and 533 per slope kilometre. The lift system totals 75.5 km, averaging about 0.9 km of lift line per lift.
