I stand corrected then. You truly are radical.

As much as I hate agreeing with him I have to here. I've never understood why people would rather stay in bed when they can ski what is usually (Except sometimes in spring) the best snow of the day. Trails are uncrowded as are liftlines. Plus when you get to the mountain theres great parking to be had and not alot of people in the cafeteria.

I'm always ther 7:45 at the latest.

I'm in no rush to get out unless there's a dump or the chance of a corn cycle..

Even out west...

At Jackson Hole I'm in line for first Gondola 25 minutes before it opens..when it's not a powder day...

Blue mountain opens at 7:30AM on a weekend and I'm there at 7:10AM..and I have perfected the art of throwing down my skis and stepping into them in less than 8 seconds..I take my skiing seriously..and I like having empty early AM runs in..
