I was there. Incredible day.
Somehow me and my buddy both had cash.
Also incredible, we almost decided to ski Belleayre that morning because it was closer to our hotel, but then we said 'nah....platty is better...' thank god we did. Everyone else lost power....
Ski on all day in nearly 4' of snow.
Second night hotel called to tell us they had no power, so they put us up in the Roxbury, which is such a trip!
Following day, crowd was pretty big, and the snow set up thick. But what a storm....
