Speaking of communication from the mountain, it appears that the replacement part is on its way from France!

Although Saturday was not ideal with long lines on the service road, Am Ex, and Ursa, it's been snowing so much, this season, 'm going to have to re-learn how to ski on boilerplate next season :).

do you think Sat will be a mob scene? Or manageable? I mostly stick to Ursa and Snow Bowl chairs...
Comfy temps and good weather predicted for Saturday and all of the snow that fell along the I-95 corridor where the masses tend to reside earlier this week. That tends to be a recipe for healthy crowds

Last Saturday, I spent a lot of time at the bottom of Black Bear waiting on the singles line for Ursa. I think I averaged maybe two runs an hour so about 15-20 minutes on the line. Didn't try Snow Bowl. Did the runs off Shooting Star which was much shorter although not attended at times. It wasn't a mob scene, just long lines consistent with holiday weekends.

Unfortunately, no gondola again this weekend.
