Character

50% of it is novice or easy terrain — 3 km, against 1 km for North American resorts under 10 km. There is a lot of room here for someone still learning. 1 of its 2 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. It is a small hill: 6 km of trails, against 19 km for the median North American resort on a pass. Most of what the independents' passes sell is this size.
