The day i actually remembered it - my GPS was showing 13,600 at the highest on a hike.. We hiked higher then that during the week.
Hotel was 8,500
Gondi started at 8,600
Midstation was 10,000
Top was at 12,900

So thats close to 3000' vert on the top gondola... Or the alpine area...
a run off the high ridge is 2 miles to the middle station...

There is now grooming per say... the "groom" 2 trails from the mid station to the bottom but the trail is as wide as the groomer and is filled with people lower down...

You can hire kids to carry skis if you don't feel like using the gondola...
