I know the feeling, I know the smile that come with it! Here's a lil secret, to get past the pain, you need to ski the next day.

Cheers, Andy. Glad you enjoyed a good day at the Glen. I was also there Saturday and it was a very short line for the Single for a weekend, especially a powder weekend. Though as others have said, it isn't that bad waiting for the lift when you need to recover from your most recent descent. If you think the Single line gets too long, not as long a line on the double and much of the same terrain. Best to hit the Single first thing in the morning then move over to the Double when lines get longer. But hey, its the Single! Its always worth the wait. I hammered the Double hard on Saturday since it didn't open Friday and scored untracked every run right up until lunch time. Still nailing lots of boot to knee deep untracked yesterday in the trees. Two of my best days at Mad River ever, and the lack of crowds on a powder weekend sure helped, though it was bitter sweet to see the place so empty on such a glorious weekend.

You are definitely on to something there, especially if steep and excessively tight trees are not your strong point

Definitely want to get to Tucks this year.

I'm learning to love the trees but I'm sure I'd have trouble keeping up with you. Always like to ski with people who push me though.
