Max Mancini

Decided to take the boys to Alpine 12/16/17 after 12 inches of new snow over the week prior. Their highest and best run Glacier was not ready, groomers were working vividly trying to get it ready, but it was obvious that there was no attempt in prepping the trail the days before. Only 3 lifts were open and the cafeteria had a very limited menu available. Very disappointed in the ski resort for not being ready that weekend, especially when they were charging full price lift tickets.
