Character
A decade of measurements here records 1.8× 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. 115 km of trails, in the largest tenth of North American resorts on a pass, where the median has 19 km. 41% of its trail length is advanced or harder, against 32% for North American resorts of 60–150 km.
