How big it is and what the skiing is like, each figure with its U.S. rank.
Lifts: the count the resort advertises; resorts differ on whether surface lifts and carpets are in it.

Trail map
101 runs · 19 lifts, as mapped in OpenStreetMap
Seen as a trail map shows a mountain: from the base looking uphill, the ground tilted up (heights ×1.5); the arrow points north and the scale holds across the page. Runs and lifts as OpenStreetMap's contributors have mapped them, on the ground from USGS elevation data, with a stronger contour every 1,000 ft. The key counts the lines OpenStreetMap draws, not the resort's runs; bowls and glades mapped as areas are a faint fill in their difficulty's colour.
The resort’s published trail map is not yet collected.
