All stats shown are based on published resort data. Vertical drop is the most reliable indicator of overall mountain size — it tells you how long a top-to-bottom run actually is. Snowfall figures are annual averages and can vary significantly year to year. Terrain percentages (beginner, intermediate, advanced) reflect how each resort categorises its own marked trails.
