I was about 30-40 minutes at peak. Once the racing programs ended then it dropped to about 20 minutes and progressively got shorter as the day wore on.

I saw the lines on the Mt Snow webcams this weekend and was glad we were blacked out. It's like getting paid to not have to stand around with 1/3 of the flatland tristate population. I'm sure eating out was a long wait as well.
No lines at Harris Hill Saturday. The only waiting I did Sunday was when I was digging my snowmobile out of the snow in the woods after getting it stuck 4 times. :lol:

Indeed it was pretty awesome. Tons of sun and you could only feel the wind at the top of the tram. Great riding with you and your family. My jammed shoulder is hurting me a lot more now though!

Oh man, that stinks. Rx = beer, ice, and advil (in that order). Good riding with you too. Thanks for playing the 'sweep' role in the trees. The kids are good but it's hard to lead them and watch them at the same time.
Just put up a trip report. Feel free to add anything I missed, and fill in the rest of the afternoon.

Already done but in the wrong order lol. No problem I had a blast. It's just more fun to ski/ride with other people. I hope you didn't get a shot of my awful fall!

Magic had no lines today and quick service in the BLT. Got some great runs in and thanks to Rusty Groomer found some untouched powder to float in!

Hmmm, it's a funny conundrum. Before the lift there weren't as many takers = less traffic = less rocks. Now the lift brings more takers = more traffic = more rocks = less takers. It's bad math!
But still, the equation today was snow>rocks. Which adds up nicely by my calculations.

It was really weird. Some spots were a mess but if you had the ability to avoid or go around those section then you were rewarded with some freshies or at the very least chop. The reward was worth the risk in my mind
Went to Attitash today and it was surprisingly quiet. Once again this season Bear Peak was the busy side. There were no lines of consequence on the Attitash side all day. Had my pick of tables at the pub at lunch time too.

Mount Snow still had a healthy crowd yesterday. The high speed quads were regularly had 5 - 10 minute lines most of the day, the Bluebird had 10-15 minute lines. After a few hours out in the cold and wind, I didn't mind waiting for the Bluebird to get out of the wind that was right in your face as you were heading up the main mountain. Especially since I knew that I had a few hours of standing on the side of the Grommet Terrain park over at Carinthia ahead of me yesterday afternoon watching my son compete in a contest. That was some COLD "Dad duty!"

I agree with Glenn that why I also have the blackout pass. Since we weren't skiing we made prior plans for the weekend (before the snow) so I didn't ski at all last weekend. With all this snow I'm itching to get out there! Weather looks crappy for Friday, I just hope it doesn't freeze up after the r**n Friday night, I'd like to get into the woods this weekend. Hopefully the crowds will be less at the end of this holiday week, that's always been the case in prior years.

The day after the Nemo storm last year at Plattekill, it was bluebird skies and the first real dump of snow in a long time. Went to Plattekill and there were 5 minute lines at peak time on the triple. Sweet day of skiing though..
