I'll be there Friday Morning. I'm putting my daughter in lessons and I'll spend some time running the Nastar course and see how the moguls are looking. Looks like we'll miss one another.

I'll be hitting it early morning for some runs.

Now that I think about it maybe I'll head out for some late night skiing. Def not sticking around till 8am, but maybe 9pm to 12 or something.

If it's running full speed, possibly. I've never paid much attention to the exact time up, but you can cruise down in minutes if you want. Zand probably knows how fast the lift runs.

I think the fastest ride I've had on it was around 4:30. However they seem to always run it slower after midnight. With the lines that last until about 3 or 4 AM, 8 runs an hour is impossible, probably more like 4 or 5. After 4, the place starts clearing out and then you can get 7 or 8 an hour.
