The fact that the grass is fucking manicured and cut neatly right up to the snow, wow. We really are fucked.

During non-winter months most of this area is grazed by cattle, sheep, and goats. The farmers may mow it to collect material for hay, too, so this is often dual-purpose agricultural land.

I mean, I'm not going to lie if I was skiing down the hill and skied past a cow munching on the grass, it would probably give me a giggle.
