Vertical range, lift access and terrain value.
High-alpine resilienceStrong vertical rangeStrong terrain value
Altitude resilience
The high-alpine top elevation is a structural advantage for retaining colder snow, although exposure can increase wind and visibility sensitivity. The 1200 m vertical range also creates meaningful temperature and snow-quality differences from valley to summit.
Lift infrastructure
About 4.9 slope km per lift indicates a broadly balanced lift-to-terrain ratio.

I visited the resort at the end of Feb 2006 & the snow conditions were excellent. The weather changes very quickly due to the close proximity of the sea but when the sun is out it's fantastic. T..

What makes this resort different
Family progression base
Mountain character
Sierra Nevada is best understood as a family progression base: easier terrain, moderate gradients and usable access make progression the strongest structural story.
46% blue pistes
7% black pistes
The trade-off
Progression-focused trips where easier and moderate terrain form a large part of the usable mountain.
Advanced skiers seeking a strongly technical profile may find the terrain mix less distinctive.
