You might have benefitted from the fact that this past Sunday was the end of the holiday week and folks packed up and left early. I hope Scott chimes in with some feedback. |
This past weekend wasn't bad at all. The previous weekend, the one after the big storm, Stowe was filled to capacity. There are only so many cars they can park and only so many people they can put on the mtn...I believe that Saturday of Presidents weekend was a record or near record day as far as skier visits are concerned.
I'm sure if it snows, Saturday will be crowded but depending on how many people can actually make it to the mtn and exactly what the weather does, it might not be that bad. Sunday's always less crowded but if the weather is nice and folks start getting the word that the skiing is good, anyone within a 2-hr drive could show up.
If its over a foot of snow (I'm calling for 7-14"), then I'd say just go for Saturday. The storm hitting on Friday will stop a lot of folks from traveling up from the big cities on Friday afternoon...but they might get there by Saturday afternoon and stay all day Sunday. That would be my bet.
