Recordist's notes
This is a recording of a fully operational ski lodge which happens to be in the immediate vicinity. This was taken in the frigid early afternoon on Christmas 2022, and the slope was packed. The recorder was placed on the balcony of a house some distance away, so the sounds are rather faint. Snow guns can be heard steadily droning in the background, as well as the characteristic sound of skis and snowboards scraping against the snow. One can also make out indistinct human chatter.
