I'm there so often Chris practically considers me family. Last weekend I had 1/2 Bolognese and 1/2 of the pasta special he had at the time for dinner (Orecchiette with Arugula pesto and house-made chicken sausage). So good...

^i wish i could ski weekdays more often. skiing empty runs of powder all day without needing to go to the woods for fresh is dreamy.

First chair yesterday for us! A Very good day. We went straight up to Heavens Gate and skied Ripchord, Organgrinder and Spills. 8" of awesomeness. Temps dropped all day and the wind closed HG, Bravo and even the VH quad by 2:00. I have to admit some of the best skiing was poaching the closed domino and moonshine later on. 5 degrees and a light breeze this morning. Looking out this morning at 8:20 and they are 1/2 full on the main lot. Going to be a busy day.

I drove by LP on my way out of town at around 945 and it was packed

I will say this... ski patrol is pretty generous with trail openings, meaning that if they have a trail closed, its closed for a reason. I would suggest NOT ducking the rope on Lower Birdland or taking any woods run that would lead you out onto that trail, as it was blue ice, prior to the 6" we got yesterday. Just take that into consideration before ducking any ropes. I doubt some southern mountains would drop ropes on just 6" of pow.

Skied today, what a difference from last week. Mtn skied great. I thought Paradise skied fun, spillsville was pretty soft when I skied it. Sunrise and birch were in great shape.

That's right! Everybody listen to Shady.
Honestly for a Saturday it wasn't crowded at all on the mountain. I don't know if I waited more than 2-3 minutes for a lift at Lincoln... Maybe the cold kept some people in the lodges/bars.
Having the upper mountain lifts open helps a lot with the lift lines, especially at Bravo and Gate House. Had Heaven's Gate and North Lynx been on windhold, the base area lift lines would've been a lot longer. Today, that was the case, but it was Super Bowl Sunday and not as busy as yesterday was, so lift lines weren't that much of an issue.
I did hear today from multiple sources that a couple passes got pulled from those who skied closed terrain. Just throwing that out there... patrol is watching!
Arrest Hawk's line-ducking ass, or at least pull his pass! His real name is Carl Spackler. I think he is from Wisconsin or something. Google him, you can find him!

LOL I never thought of myself as a greens keeper but OK. Getting my pass pulled would be a fair consequence. I will take that as the cost of doing that type of business.

Skiing closed trails is up to you. But why do you feel the need to brag about it on a public forum?

You are right. No more reports. But it was not so much of a brag but more of a report of good conditions. I will tell you this, I skied much more sketchy conditions on the lower half of Castlerock yesterday then I did on those 2 runs. Castlerock had dirt, rocks showing, fast grass. You name it. There is no real reasoning on trail openings in my opinion. They are random as best as I can tell.
