Imagine this- you arrive at the mountain and park only steps away from the gondola. You ski or snowboard on a mountain with only a few other people around. You have the whole trail to yourself. As soon as you get to the bottom, you ski right through to the lift and don’t have to share your chair with strangers. It’s just you, your partner, and the mountain. You talk, you snuggle, and enjoy the view until you get to the top for another perfect run.
