As much as I'd like to ski right now, I wouldn't be waiting in that line to ski a 500 vertical foot intermediate groomer. And I'm not exactly picky...

I'd wait two hours to ski that right now..better than work..or I'd hike up it..and I'd pay whatever they were charging..I like to ski..and haven't skied in half a year..

If I had a pass Id make it up there early and take a couple runs before it got crowded. Skiing is skiing. But it would get boring after 3 runs or so for sure.

O.K. just got back from Loveland. It was good, I skied directly on to the chair for seventeen runs. Many many empty chairs-trails were not crazy at all. I'll post a report later this evening.
