Character

5 of its 8 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. 53% of it is novice or easy terrain — 12 km, against 5 km for North American resorts of 10–25 km. There is a lot of room here for someone still learning.
