Played Val d'Isère Ski Park Manager long long times ago and really liked it. From what the first Alpha shows there might finally be again a proper Ski resort simulator! Keep up the good work! I am really looking forward to your progress. I have also some suggestions which I think would be really nice for the game to become more addictive:
-More Terrain modulating abilities (maybe afterwards being able to influence the difficulty level of the slope)
-Possibility to alter the width of a slope section by drag and drop
-Changing Snow Conditions
-Snow grooming/snow machines
-More lift types (different chair lifts, small conveyor belt lift, different gondolas)
-Building of Lodges and Other accomodation
-Direct Feedback from Skiers why they might like or dislike something or smiley symbols above their head
-Differrent maps
Other things that might be of consideration:
-Lift personell and maintenance personell
-First Aid and Rescue of Skiers
-Bars, Supermarket, Shopping and Entertainment Buildings (swimming pool etc)
-Allow to create Ski routes or Ski areas where Skiers can ski off piste
