Character
A decade of measurements here records 2.1× 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 961 m top to bottom, in the tallest tenth of North American resorts on a pass, where the median is 324 m. Its lift fleet runs to 1 gondola among 11. 36% of its trail length is advanced or harder, against 28% for North American resorts of 25–60 km.
