Description

Honestly it seems like yonks since we alpine skied here. The area is not that interesting but it was quiet and close to home for an hour... then an hour and a half's skiing. 10 runs is over 2000 meters all the same at 200 meters or so per run. The red run on the left was not pisted and we only did it once as it was also icy in the afternoon and a bit bone jarring. The blue was smooth down the center line but not pisted on the sides - the piste basher was apparently broken. Lots of people on the luging but not many alpine skiing, perhaps a dozen at most.

Conditions

Main blue run was ok pisted with a bit of hard snow. The red run was unpisted but skiable. The baby area was good but not very interesting for us grown ups. A bit shady in the afternoon.
