Character

4% of it is novice or easy terrain, in the lowest tenth of North American resorts under 10 km, where the median is 30%. There is not much room here to learn. 7 of its 12 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: 5 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.
