alpine isn't open yet but the snow to the base of red and green was nice. just down from green on the way to midstation to download it became icy and crunchy

Snow was AWESOME around Franz and such, trees were good.
It kind of reaffirmed what I complained about earlier though. It took us over an hour to pick up our lift tickets, line ups were massive. We were lucky to get home as I heard it was taking people over 6 hours to get back to Van.
Lift tickets were $132, no early season discount for 1/8th of the mountain being open which is a bit shit.
Its like travelling to a world class restaurant paying for your 12 course tasting menu and them telling you its actually just gonna be 3 courses tonight.
The terrain and snowfall are so good, its just offering way too little for what it costs. This is the first time in 7 years i won't be getting at least a 5 day edge card. It feels bad.
The runs I got though were great. I'll likely ride local next week then get a baker trip in the one after.
