–
Several separate
mountains:mixed ability groups are likely to have to split up, and
the bus service is far from perfect - we always take a car
–
Slopes in each individual area are quite limited
–
Runs down to the valley floor are often closed due to lack of snow

Popularity means crowds and liftlines, and lots of road traffic

Bad weather can shut the best runs
