If you havent been, go there for the end of season spring skiing. You wont be disappointed.
The runs are well groomed and there are plenty of off piste options with eagles east being a favourite.
The snow is okay but due to its cold nature you dont get a huge mount of powder and can tend to be hard and icy
Definitely worth the trip once and a while.
