I actually think JD was being facetious and joking. I am sure every resort in the east is working OT to make the mountains as family friendly as possible. For all of us, our kids our out of school, for many of us, it may be our only vacation time. Everyone deserves the best they can get. Just over xmas dinner tonight the family was figuring out which day we should go - it's not a matter of waiting - there is a narrow opportunity for us to be together as a family.
For the Ullr worshipers who choose to be fussy, their midweek days will come. While I love powder, the years have taught me to seize every opportunity, big and small, families, vacations, holidays, powder days, frozen and on and on. Sometimes, just being out of doors is the best part. I'm sure you all recall the days of hiking in a downpour, we never complained, tried to make light of it and enjoy the out of doors nonetheless.
Flatlanders and hill folk alike will probably have a better than usual week, because many will stay away, making it easier on us, but harder ($) on the resorts.
Interesting, Stowe is speaking of packed powder, I guess they got several inches last night.
Get out and have fun. that's all that counts!
