The lift accessed terrain is contained within five bowls and their drainages, and is for the most part below the tree line.

Once you hit the tree line there is plenty of glades to be skied before heading down onto the lower half of the mountain which is mostly groomers with a few gladed areas.

You aren't going to find the driest powder here as the ski area lies between 1070-1551 meters, ... [ Read More ]
