I'm going up the mountain on a gondola! The idea was to search for sleddable snow, which was pretty much a bust. But the gondola ride was a hit, as were the soft pretzels at the little chalet at the top.

 

 

As you can see, not much snow left. They were making snow and grooming pistes like mad, we saw a lot of pretty impressive equipment from the gondola.
