Each lift type has specific seat options. More seats means higher throughput but higher cost. The cost multiplier increases with seat count.
All slopes and lifts have a condition percentage. Condition drops over time:
When condition drops below 30%, the slope or lift closes automatically.
Slopes need regular grooming to maintain condition. Assign Groomer Operators to sectors in the Grooming page. Each groomer can cover about 3 slopes.
Ungroomed slopes lose condition faster and reduce visitor satisfaction.
You can manually open or close any slope or lift from the Resort page. Reasons to close:
Your mountain is divided into sectors. Each sector groups slopes and lifts together. New sectors are released over the course of a season, unlocking more terrain to build on.
