Tyler Posted February 15, 2008 Report Posted February 15, 2008 the snow today was some of the best of the year and they'll be blowing again tonight so it will be awesome. i'd still be there but the crowds are outrageous. Quote
johnnypowder Posted February 15, 2008 Report Posted February 15, 2008 Looking for a conditions report for the non park part of the mountain. Thanks in advance and see you all up there tommorow AM. I was there this morning until about Noon and.... snow conditions were ok. typical sugar snow. if they get another night of blowing and grooming they will be good. It's just the curse of rain, cold temps then warm temps and a lot of people using the slopes. Don't get me wrong, they were in good shape overall. Just not ideal but who is at this point? BUT it was crazy crowded. The line to get into the rental shop was taking 2 hours. They had to extend the 4 hour lift ticket because everyone was spending 1/2 there ticket standing in line for rentals. The lift ticket line didn't really start to clear out until 11am and was probably taking 30-40mins to get a lift ticket. They were parking in the very first parking lots as you come in (the gravel ones) by about 10am. Amazingly the lift lines weren't that long (probably because everyone was standing in line to get rentals and lift tickets) but were on the increase. Get there early, park close, stake out a table, make some runs, don't eat during the peak times, wander into the bar and relax! Quote
sexkitten Posted February 15, 2008 Author Report Posted February 15, 2008 We'll be there at 7:45/ 8:00 AM, we have our own gear, and will be done skiing by 11 AM so we should be good. We'll see. Luckily if there are a million people that early we are only a half an hour from home and will just bail. Quote

Luckily if there are a million people that early we are only a half an hour from home and will just bail. you should be good. i got there around 10 today which is pretty late for me compared to normal and they were already parking in the second lot it was GAAAYYYY. the hill wasnt too bad tho. comped to how many cars there were prob. like 1/3 of them were on the hill and the other 2/3 were in rental or ticket lines.

snowboarddude Posted February 16, 2008 Report Posted February 16, 2008 if anyone is planing on renting i would advise them to come before 7am or after 5pm.... the line went from the rental shop to the steps outside the eatery by boardcheck Quote
