Just make sure that there are sufficient chairs/gondolas to get you around.quote]



I agree, I ski and board and prefer to avoid drag lifts more so on my board(buttons are better than t-bars on a board) - more often than not the mountain can be navigated by not using any drags.

To whoever one starred my post.. I was serious. Here it is cheap and there are no drag lifts. I don't understand what I said that was deserving of such a rating.

what about les arcs? not many drags there.
it's a bit flat in parts above 1950/2000 for boarders though

Button bars should be fine for skiiers assuming the route up is smoothish. If not then they're not relaxed enough imo. People who get burning thighs on a button bar: Relax a bit and stand up right then you won't need to be all tense and grip the bar in a death grip.
