    1. Vail owned Swiss resort (Crans-Montana) closes early during local holidays, upsetting local skiers and businesses
    2. Last week was probably the season’s last hurrah for us in Austria. We left with a bang in what’s otherwise been Salzburg's worst season in a decade.
    3. Popular Opinion: Mega Passes are NOT a great deal.
