Ski area similarities game.

[ski diva]

Okay, I'll admit it -- I lifted this game from AlpineZone. But it's a good one, especially for the summer.

Here's how it works: Person #1 names a ski area, and Person #2 names an area and explains what makes it similar to Person #1's. Then Person #3 names an area, and explains how it's similar to Person #2's.

For example:

Person #1: Vail
Person #2: Beaver Creek: Owned by Vail Resorts
Person #3: Deer Valley: Very upscale, like Beaver Creek.

And so on.

So here's the first area:

Alta
