Ski Chalet operating hours and maybe more

I've always pronounced it "shal-AY" although I don't actually pronounce it with that much emphasis.  AI told me that this is the American pronunciation.  It said that it's different from the British pronunciation of "SHAL-ay."

 

Here's some chalet trivia:

This term refers to a type of wooden house, typically associated with the Alpine region in Europe, characterized by a heavy, gently sloping roof and wide, overhanging eaves set at right angles to the front of the house.

 

Strangely, when I used the $loc feature in front of the entrance to the Ski Chalet in Pocket D, the coordinates returned were glitched.  I mean, I /thumbtack'd the $loc to make sure it was right.  And it never was even close no matter how I twerked to tweak it.

 

The wiki uses this description of the entrance and it's as good as any to help a player find it:

The entrance to the Chalet is a small door found in a rocky outcropping located in the upstairs of the Villain side of Pocket D. The outcropping is easily recognized by the snowdrifts and evergreen trees surrounding it.

 

I bring this up because I've seen an increased interest in accessing it.  New and returning players might not have been informed that the Ski Chalet is open all the time, all the year.  This is a Homecoming thing, I think?

 

To badge the ski slopes, I had to CHEAT LIKE CRAZY!!!!!  I created a second build for my toon with Hover/Fly/Evasive Manuevers.  I gave them all six slots and diversely slotted them.  I probably didn't use more than three slots of each power.  I didn't even bother slotting anything else.  I practiced the slopes many times finding the places I could skip corners, go over, duck, etc.  All with Hover/Fly/EM burning *hot!*  I'm certain I didn't break any records.  But I got all of the badges, baby!
