Can't wait to watch new trails added daily!
That's one of the few things I miss about being a pass holder at a major mountain; daily monitoring of the trail count going up during the early season. I still pay attention, but now that I spread things around over multiple areas, I don't have quite the same obsession with checking my 'home' mountain's daily snow report.
Overall, last year I definitely enjoyed being more of a homeless skiing whore and hope to be an even bigger whore this season :lol:. I like the variety and I can get out the same number of days for the same money as I'd pay for a pass, just got to poke around some for deals.
...but I know quite well the exact excitement you're talking about
