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 Brixen you can take the street up to St. Andrae. From here you can take the six-person-gondola Kreuztal up to the ski hill, or you can drive up the street to "Palmschoss" (1697m) or to the "Skihuette" (1900m). From the top of the gondola, you can take the "Schoenbodenbahn", a high spped detachable quad with bubbles up to 2296 m. From here you can ski down an easy run to the two triple chairs "Plose" and "Rossalm". The triple "Rossalm" takes you up to the "Pfannspitz", the highest lifted point in this ski resort. Here you can ski also on an t-bar with two easy runs. Now you can ski down on intermediate slopes down to the "Skihuette". (Another starting point with parking lots). From here two triple chairs take you up to the "Pfannspitz" again. If you would ski back to "Kreuztal" and down to the valley, St. Andrae, you must take the triple chair "Plose" up to the Plose. From here you can ski down under the triple chair on advanced runs back to this lift, or you can ski on intermediate and easy runs back to the top station of the gondola (Kreuztal). Now you can enjoy the 9 km long "Trametsch-slope" one of the longest runs in South Tyrol down to the base station. The bubble Trametsch open up the upper part of the Trametsch run, so you can ski the steep part without skiing down to the valley. In the valley will find some nice cosy après-ski bars, like the "Plose Stodl", "Pub P3" or the "Trametschhuette".
