The slopes are extensive and varied but can be victim to poor visability and the higher mountains suffer from freezing fog. Much of the terrain is wooded. The snowfall rate is impressive with an average of over 300 inches a year. Experts will enjoy the cliff area at the top of the ski area which is a double black as well as glades and bump runs to explore. Intermediates will find excellent cruising terrain with long blues and greens to navigate. Beginners will find a good nursery slope to practise on before progressing to long easy runs.

There is only one main mountain restaurant. The area does suffer from a lack of off slope activities which often happens when a resort has a lot of day trippers who have left before the usual apres ski begins. There are bars that are lively and offer live music and dancing.
