Ok, this is a tourist trap piece of crap.
After driving from the bay area for hours because of traffic / snow storm, you see that 'resort' off of highway 80 and you think, let's just go there and it's cheap too look at the sign.
Ok the trick is this is justb a small hill, the vertical is something like 500 feet (and it feels even less), the lift are very slow and stopping all the time, plus they are setup so that you have to hike from the bottom of the trail to the lift kost of the time.
In other words you spend 2/3 of the time in the lift or walking to it.
So resist the urge and continue for a few milles to other ral resorts.
