Timeless Posted February 9, 2005 Report Posted February 9, 2005 Did anyone else think Pharaoh was f#$kin horrible Monday night? (did anyone else try it?). Most of the trails seemed OK, if a little rutted, it seemed like they had not groomed too extensively after the weekend (snow preservation?) or they had had a very busy day (unlikely). What I couldn't get over though, was the complete lack of people there, I think there were more ski-nazi's and patrollers than there were normal skiers / riders. At times it felt like I was the only one there.... Quote

Pharoah is particularly nasty in the evenings, it catches wind all day, way to many n00bs ride it no tree cover from the sun, so it melts and refreezes. If you want to enjoy pharoah get there first thing. On week nights its not uncommon to see lots of patrol and rangers compared to customers, because the rangers/patrollers want to work during the week, so they can get their own recreational skiing in while volunteering. Weekdays are the least busy time so, less work, and more play. At least that is what I have noticed. Quote
