Alright so i'm definitely new to skiing..took it up 3 yrs ago so i'm going off of a rather shortened time period. But One of the things I've noticed this yr more so than the last 2 yrs is the somewhat lack of crowds during either weekends or holiday periods.
Dont get me wrong the resorts I've been to haven't been empty and I'd say the typical lift line wait has avg about 5 to 10 mins, and of course some of the more popular greens or blues have had steady traffic but nothing that has been an annoyance. I remember being at mt snow the weekend after the first big storm we had earlier in the season and the entire sun rook area was empty...the snow was great and I felt like I had the entire to myself.
I was also at Stowe during MLK weekend and again thought the crowds were really down.
i'll definitely be interested in what the crowds will be like this weekend after this weather event.
Is anyone else noticing this or am I just totally off base with this? I guess my thoughts have been maybe a slow economy and the fact that gas is still rather expensive not to mention a weekend day pass is 80+ dollars.
