In all fairness to Vail regarding Crotched, they are water starved this year. That snowmaking pond is not getting refilled and even if this year were Peaks at their peak effort, doubt Crotch would look too much different. Crotched needs a serious investment to up it's water access some how. Doubt that would be cheap, even if it was, doubt Vail is interested in investing there. That last part we can bash Vail for.
Yeah, I skied a couple hours this afternoon, and the pond is bone dry. They managed to get a few more runs open with not many more to go, but it'll be a while for the rest. Conditions are good for what it is. At least everything from the summit is finally in play to spread people out, and you don't have to ski the same two trails off the top all day.
