Leysin is a great resort. The resort is a decent size and can take some time to get from one end to the other (two slow doubles and a high speed 6-pack to get from one end to the other). Generally the skiing off the gondola side is more technical, with the skiing to the east more of the cow pasture type. Many people here ski on-piste so the powder lasts longer than some North American resorts. Like other European resorts, there is limited avalanche control. There is a great traverse-to bowl off the top lift, as well as fun lines right under the gondola. Overall a rather quiet midweek resort with very fun terrain. A few days we were there and the international schools were skiing creating long lines, but it did not take from the skiing experience.
