Are the
trails BRUTALLY GROOMED?
Should you
get maps if you wanna’ go off-piste into &^%$# )@#&^^?
Do they
allow snowboards?
How are the
breakfast sandwiches?
Thanx for
the TR – it worked for me!

Ah, yes. This place was once known as "Hillend" - and there's a particularly nasty form of thumb fracture/dislocation known in orthopedic circles as "Hillend Thumb," because the surface there produced so many cases of it. Mechanism of injury is this: as you fall, you put your hand down, your thumb gets caught in the mat, the rest of your body keeps moving and your thumb stays put.

I had exactly the same reaction to skiing in an indoor snowdome in
Germany about twelve years ago. It was a fascinating experience, but
it doesn't take long to extract just about all the goodness from it.
