When you blow a ton of snow you have to let it drain. Butt, if it's blown in huge whales it gives you more surface area so it drains faster and slower. At any rate, you see it a lot.

Wait, and push it and groom. ❄️

He'll no....
Biggest reason I switched to PC from Alta bird is how easy it is to get there...and 7000 acres full of lifts. I rarely wait on lines once you get past the lower lifts.
I laugh when almost everyone says...why aren't you at Alta?
Are you?
Uh...no..I'm in New Jersey now.
I see......

Currently at Keystone in Colorado. I've always been an Ikon pass holder. First year Epic.

observations from past couple of days, zero, zero, zero skier information.
Weather report, their weather report shows a temperature. Doesn't explain what the weather will be on the hill. Zero communication on lift holds.
Maybe because I am out in Colorado and all the employees probably waked and baked but people who work there don't seem to care.
Between the Epic website and at resort, I feel they are always trying to be sell you something and instead of enjoying the experience.

The snow report thing has been bitched about (by me particularly) on here many times. What extra would it cost them to write a modest written report daily? I’d think nothing. They obviously feel it’s advantageous somehow to not write one. But most, if not all, other ski companies feel the opposite somehow.

Was breezy out yesterday. I looked at Keystones website in the morning and didn't show any lift delays. I get out to the Gondola and it's closed.
