Character

A decade of measurements here records 1.9× 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. 111 km of trails, in the largest tenth of North American resorts on a pass, where the median has 19 km. Its lift fleet runs to 1 gondola among 11.
