It opens a little later than other ski resorts, with an operating season from mid-July to mid-October. The lifted area covers an elevation range of 1540 to 1768 metres, and it caters primarily for skiers of intermediate ability, citing a distribution of 25% beginner, 55% intermediate and 20% advanced level.

There is no accommodation on the field, but it is linked by shuttle to St Arnaud, 35 minutes away.
