I’d definitely call to see what the hill is looking like.   On 3/10 only two lifts were running servicing icy north facing runs. The play would’ve been the Sud Bowl with the sun softening things up, but sad cuz no lift service.  Great potential terrain, but not today.  Shouldn’t they discount the tix given only 25% was open?
