Personally, I think you'd have a very fine season there. It won't be
perfect, but anyplace would be a roll of the dice. The snow can
occasionally get pretty wet and heavy; you'll learn to ski it. The
lift lines can occasionally get long; you'll learn to dodge them.
It's easy to **** on the place because it's so hyped, but I don't
think you'll regret going.

But were I you, my first priority after settling in would be to
develop the skills (and compile the gear and the connections) to
access the backcountry. It'd be a shame to be there all season and be
limited to the lifts.
