WE LIKE

  • The powder here is light and fluffy, 30 foot of snowfall each year and is seen throughout the season - perfect!
  • Great selection of runs at all levels - especially intermediate and advanced. Renowned for long steep runs. Quiet and uncrowded, one of Alberts best kept secrets
  • Tree-lined runs are great when weather does close in and winds get up

WE DON'T LIKE

  • Lifts are old and slow and can get closed easily due to high winds - which halves the runs you can do
  • Beginners can find the runs a little steep and intimidating
  • Apres ski non existent, nearest town 30 minutes away by car
