Altitude, access and value

Vertical range, lift access and terrain value.

Lower-elevation sensitivityDense lift accessHigh published capacity
Altitude resilience Snow reliability is likely to depend more strongly on aspect, weather cycles and snowmaking than on extreme altitude. The 980 m vertical range also creates meaningful temperature and snow-quality differences from valley to summit.
Lift infrastructure About 1.9 slope km per lift indicates a relatively dense access network. Published hourly capacity is 16,300 persons, about 1358 persons/hour per lift and 709 per slope kilometre. The lift system totals 8.5 km, averaging about 0.7 km of lift line per lift.

Around 26% of mapped terrain is in a steeper class and 74% is moderate or gentler. Strong intermediate to advanced skiers have substantial technical options, while expert-level ability is mainly relevant on selected sectors. Very or extremely steep terrain accounts for 8%, compared with 18% in the bit-steep and steep bands, so expert judgement is relevant on a meaningful subset of the technical terrain.
