–
Several separate mountains - a lot of driving or
bussing required, and mixed ability groups are
likely to have to split up
–
Slopes in each individual area are quite limited
–
Hardly any slope-side accommodation
–
Runs down to the valley floor are often closed due
to lack of snow
–
Popularity means crowds and queues, and lots of road
traffic
–
Bad weather can shut the best runs
