Getting around
6 AM is the new 7 AM
Most know the roads have gotten busy in the winter. Our place is only 15 min. to Alpine but if you wait until 7 AM or later that time can be significantly longer than an hour. Get there early, park by the Subway lift and let your dog run around with the others on dog beach while you wait for the lifts to open at 9 AM
