Character

30 of its 44 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. 82 km of trails, in the largest tenth of North American resorts on a pass, where the median has 19 km. 43% of it is novice or easy terrain — 35 km, against 19 km for North American resorts of 60–150 km. There is a lot of room here for someone still learning.
