Wishing I was...but Im at Alta and its in pretty good shape..

It's nowhere near as good as Stowe or Jay Peak right now. I'll be flying east to ski if this keeps up. LOL

Alta had a huge amount open today...way more than anyone else. Saw some brave souls coming down high rustler...

MMSP has been very laid back on trail openings this year. I like this trend!

Meaning “Buyer beware, but it’s open?”

 

[bbrk]

Yeah they've loosened quite a bit the past two years. It's nice!

 

[hovercraft]

That’s because the old GM who was a pussy left two seasons ago. The place definitely has a different attitude towards trail openings now that he is gone

Blame Bobby

I see that Stowe charges for parking Friday to Sunday. Is Friday really crowded enough to justify the parking charge? I know on busy weekends the parking fills up and you have to get there early, but on Friday?

No it’s not that busy but they still do it because they can……….

Keeps the unwashed locals away on Fridays. Can't have Skip and Margo looking at those poors when they check in to Steaux Mountain Lodging.

I think the last of the poors left Stowe about 15 years ago.

Nobody works on Friday anymore. It's the new Saturday. Parking reservations are required out here on Fridays at Alta, Brighton, and Solitude.

Friday paid parking is annoying since it makes quick AM laps before work a challenge. Otherwise the shuttle is usually very reliable and not that bad. Parking is free 2-4pm anyway.

 

[kingslug]

The locals...did not like that friday paid parking....it ruined their 3 laps befire work.
Which sux.
The 7am chair was also great.
