Places to stay, closest first

Condo complexes and rental homes are often missing from the open data we measure, so the real number near the lifts is usually higher. The mountain's own lodging pages list them.

The highest point on our map is about 3,630 feet, and the lowest lift starts near 1,650 feet, a drop of about 1,980 feet. Elevations come from the map's terrain model, so treat them as close, not exact.

How do you work out the minutes?

Along a mapped walking route from each place to stay to the bottom station of the nearest chairlift, gondola or tram you can walk to, at an easy pace. Where the map has no route we give the distance as the crow flies instead of minutes. How we measure.
