I visited twice. Only skied one day for three hours. I watched the FIS World Cup finals on the first day. Found the resort easy to navigate, workers were helpful. Due to event and later in the season, it was pretty quiet. I mainly stuck to the beginner slopes at the bottom as I was a complete newb, having only taken some indoor lessons a few years ago.
