The slope preparation is very good.
Tip: By new snow, an optimal slope prepartion is not always possible, even with a large effort. In addition, the new snow can not combine with the snow lying underneath and moguls are created quickly. For safety reasons, usually no slope preparation is possible during operating times.

Detailed description of the ski resort
From the valley you can take the Chile-Express Quad up to the top. From the top you can ski down into the valley or you can ski down to the 1998 build high speed quad. You need this lift to go up again and to drive down to the base station. On the way back to the base station you have many different runs, but sometimes they are very flat. At the base station you will find another two double chairs and a rope tow, especially for the beginners. At the end of the day you can go to the pub at the base station and listen to the live music, have a dance and you can eat a piece of pizza and have a beer...
