Character

5 of its 9 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: 7 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.
