My only niggle is the food is not fantastic and was nearly always the same each day, I'm told this is because the hotels have a very small budget provided by the government for this purpose, however this did not help those in our party with fussy taste
The setup for hired equipment was very good and user friendly. There was not as stated really much of a wait at the gondola unless using at peak time 9am to 10am. We were lucky to have most of the slopes available to us during the week although the higher slopes had poor snow and were very dangerous in places with visible rocks and grass. We had a good week with reasonable skiing however towards the end of the week it got more and more dangerous resulting in a number of people being rescued from the slope and a number of runs closed.
A good dump of snow is needed to make the resort suitable for skiing and hopefully there will be one in the near future
