The Beast - 11/5/11

[skiersleft]

Was out for 2:30 hours in the afternoon. Glad they made snow last night. They're going to need it if they are going to survive the high temps later this week. Surface was good. Packed powder, skied off in parts, but mostly very edgeable. Upper East Fall had big moguls. Very fun, but not ready for that so early in the season. Tried it twice, took a nice fall the first time, made it down nicely the second time. Very crowded. 15 minute wait time minimum. Staff did a good job at fairly and swifltly moving the line along. Felt very warm at one point, got chillier after 3pm. Low in the mid teens tonight. Last window for snowmaking for the next 5 or 6 days. Hope they take advantage of it.

East fall was was killing it today! They had the guns on early but shut them off quickly. Some very nice bump lines formed on the soft manmade. It was awesome to have top to bottom bumps! I have to say that it is looking like K of old! Lines were out of control when we left at 12pm.

On another note definitely saw a push for customer service. It was almost to the point of being annoying. 3 employees told us about the bag check we have known about for years. Maybe trying to make up for poor reviews in that department.

Had been considering K. Glad I ended up at SR where there was no line when I was there.

Thanks for the mogul report....Hope they leave at least half of that alone!
