Character

9% of it is novice or easy terrain, in the lowest tenth of North American resorts of 60–150 km, where the median is 24%. That is 8 km of it. There is not much room here to learn. A decade of measurements here records 2.4× 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. It drops 897 m top to bottom, in the tallest tenth of North American resorts on a pass, where the median is 324 m. 86 km of trails, in the largest tenth of North American resorts on a pass, where the median has 19 km.
