Speaking of work, I think, really, that's my biggest skiing pet peave- having to work. Actually, that's just my biggest pet peeve, overall.

How true! Work is always getting in the way of skiing...

Or you could combine the two with a teleboard

i agree, working a 9-5 job leaves little time for skiing. we lack of quality night skiing areas in my location.

we got mountain creek but it's to small and suffering from snow drought problems.

would be nice to have some night skiing for those saturdays after the long drive into vermont. and i mean with a significant amount of trails, not just 1 or 2 please. the only place in vt that i can recall offering night skiing is stowe.

the problem i have is that i do the 5 1/2 hour drive up, get to the condo check in after 1:00am, take about 2 hours to get everyone settled in, get about 3-4 hours of sleep, wake up, make breakfast, get people rentals and by the time i am ready to ski, i am exhausted.....

i also wish resorts would open past 4:00 in the spring to take advantage of the extra daylight. if possible

Hunter stays open sometimes until 4:30 in late spring..
The other weekend they stayed open until around 4:15 and closed the Westside later too.. Which was nice..

i think the worst thing for me is when lifties dont pull the chair back, i was at wildcat at the tomcat chair and i was ready for the liftie to pull back the chair and instead he gave it just a little tap and it wacked me in the calf. Also when high speed chairs stop, how could u not be able to get on one of those.

How about people stoping right in front of the exit ramp while unloading off the chair.
