This mountain bascially sums up all the negative aspects of this country. Totally disorganized shitshow. Nobody gives a shit about anything. They open when they want and if they want. Trash all over the place and 100's of people in civilian clothes sledding down the hills at the end of the mountain running into random people. Off-piste is good but the people running it are thieves and will overcharge and change the prices after the fact to try to shake down their guests. That's why nobody comes back. It couldn't be a more unfriendly tourist atmosphere. The off-piste companies are half bankrupt and are always trying to extort extra money from their guests, even after charging super high prices. Prices may be cheaper than the Alps but you get less then you pay for nonetheless. The extra savings are not worth the extra hassles and undependability of the staff and local companies. There is zero apres-ski so don't expect anything at all unless you bring a big group.
