Character
A decade of measurements here records 1.9× the snowfall a climate model puts in the same grid cell — one of the widest gaps on the roster, and a reason to trust the gauge over the model at this mountain. 3 of its 5 lifts are surface tows, and there is no gondola or cable car — the lift fleet says small hill more plainly than the trail count does.
