Comment: I (Epicgenius) am nominating this now because of the 7-day deadline, as the article was created on November 28. If the ski complex doesn't open as planned on December 5, Thursday, I will have a new ALT hook ready.

Article is new enough and long enough, I changed one sentence that sounded a bit like an ad, otherwise great. I appreciate you want to get it in before the 7 days. However, it will probably run after 5 December, so I think it is good to hold off on putting it in the queue until Thursday so that we can settle on a hook before promoting it. Also be aware that the last paragraph needs to be rewritten to present tense when the park opens. I prefer ALT2, but maybe would change 'this month' to 'December 2019', as that way it's a bit more versatile.
