Character
2 of its 2 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. 56% of its trail length is novice or easy, against 30% for North American resorts under 10 km, but the share is measuring a small mountain: 2 km of it. It is a small hill: 3 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.
