It’s my first time to ski The Ober.  The amount of crashes per skier is astonishingly high.  It’s a good place to have some fun and laughs - But be very vigilant of the high density and volume of beginners on icy and narrow runs.  Overall, it is worth it if you are in the area and have a few hours.
