The resort does have a lot of Green and Blue runs and two nursery areas within the village, however for those looking for a bigger challenge there are a good number of Black Runs (Canadian category equivalent to red in Europe) and a few Double Diamond Runs (equivalent to black in Europe) and so the resorts ski area does cater for the more experienced family members.
