What the sources say
Every note below is drawn from the resort's own or an independent official publication.
Trail count is disputed between sources (145 vs 170) — reported as uncertain rather than resolved to one number.
43 double-black-diamond runs exist within the Back Bowls (no direct European "red" equivalent in this grading system).
Lift count (13) is agreed across three independent sources — high confidence.
