| Review Detail |
As captured in the description, this place is quite big with 2 main pistes (520m long - service by a 6 person chair and 2 button lifts), a park (wth it's own button lift) and a beginners area (drag and magic carpet).
The staff have always been very friendly and helpful (in English, German and Dutch) in everything from deciding what tickets to get to the full gear rental.
The slope conditions are generally good, although the top 5m of the "red" can become sheet ice due to people slide slipping...but good practice none the less. Generally the kickers etc. are well maintained but the "beginner line" less so and so can get rutted.
The food isn't too bad, and not very expensive either off the slope. Just try and time it so you're not with every one else trying to eat.
We've brought quite a few beginners there prior to going to the mountains and because of the chair, button and drag lifts they've managed to get some experience on these and are less worried when on the real mountains.
There is a local crew in the park, but once you don't snake them, trash the kicker they've litterly just finished shaping they're fine. |

| Strengths |
Having a choice of 2 main pistes and 3 different lines in the park means that it's a great place for a mixed ability group (including absolute beginners and park hounds).
The 6 person chair is great and gives a good view of the park.
They now have an onsite "sport hotel" with all the mod cons and good weekend deals.
The 8 hour deal is great - and if you're off the slopes your time "stops" so eating food etc. doesn't count as part of your 8 hours.
Keep an eye out for "boarders night" and other events that have a reduced rate and things like DJs, airbags etc. |

| Weaknesses |
Can get very busy on a Sunday afternoon during winter time.
Should check in advance if one of the pistes is closed because of a competition or other event.
The publick transport to geth there is not that best.
(The apres-ski bar - it's very very scary) |
