Price notesThe resort's Alpine Slide page checked on 2026-11-05 publishes ticket logistics (on-site pickup, bulk discounts on 10+ adult ride tickets) but no single-ride price, so priceVal is null rather than sourced from third parties.
Age notesResort rules on its Alpine Slide page: children under 2 years old may not ride; children shorter than 48 inches may ride in a sled with a paying adult. The 0-2 band is therefore excluded.
