This is my third time here. It used to be a quiet place with few visitors. Now that the Europeans and Americans have discovered it as well as the Chinese it’s become very busy. Expect huge lift lines for the ropeway that leaves every 20 minutes. On one day I got 6 runs of a 500m descent each time. While it’s a fantastic place the over tourism has spoiled it. The downhill and backcountry skiing is ok but not as long and varied as other places. I take XC and BC skis, which give me plenty of options when the weather is bad or when the ropeway closes due to wind, which is often.
