An average of over 30 feet of snow per season and 142 runs for all abilities would be enough to keep most skiers and riders happy ; add to this high-speed quads with virtually no lift lines , five alpine bowls , extensive gladed terrain , plus the joy of skiing without the need to acclimatize , and you may just think you ’ ve hit the winter jackpot .
