Tree-skiing & off-piste
Important informationThe Resort has strict rules about which off-piste areas are ok to ski, and which are not. Many off-piste areas are prone to avalanche, and Ski Patrol has an active avalanche control team monitoring the safety all areas. Before considering riding off-piste please contact Ski Patrol to confirm open areas and daily snow conditions.
