You've been planning this ski holiday for months, and you're finally here: Lake Marigold Mountain Resort! You drove all day and most of the night, checked into the lodge very late and hit the sack hard. At last, a week-long winter break from Kyrat's bloody civil war! Or, maybe not.
Nobody told you that last month the Golden Path had set up a secret base in the Lake Marigold resort. And, how could you know that government forces were wise to the secret, and that at sunrise several army guard units had planned an attack?
It's now sunrise, and you're jolted out of bed by the all too familiar sounds of gunfire just outside of the lodge. Wipe the crusteys from your eyes, dress warm, grab your pistol and... Happy Holidays!
Map notes: I've been working on this map since the contest was announced. I was already curious to see if I could make a snowy slope that you could actually ski down, so this was the perfect opportunity to try. Yes, you can really ski - and you can even slolum by looking left or right as you descend. Or, if you want, you can also ride down to the resort on a jet ski, but I wouldn't recommend trying that down the actual ski runs. The trail is safer... but not that easy either. Or, you could hang-glide. The map is also wingsuit friendly. By the way, if you need or want to get back up to your lodge, find the ski lift, but just a friendly heads-up: no reinforcements will be spawned up there.
I hope everyone had a great holiday and... Happy New Year!
