A little crowded today, but rarely waited in line after they opened the quad. That was the helicopter flying around last Sunday. They landed outside the Summit lodge by Barb's office. Quote

The bumps were hero, so I kept lapping them until I headed up to meet the wife at the 70's party. When I rolled in, a MedEvac helicopter was circling, but due to all the busses in the employee lot, it looked like it went over to the fairgrounds and landed there. Two ambulances rolled out and headed that way as I was walking to the slopes. Rumor was that someone overshot the second jump and landed hard enough to knock themselves out. Where are the fairgrounds?? Is that overflow lot? Quote

tarponhead Posted January 12, 2018 Report Posted January 12, 2018 Awesome. It was a bit more crowded than expected this morning as well. Ski clubs are consuming the evening and night sessions now. Also, I took this from my helicopter today. Watching this video makes today so much more bearable Quote

The crowds were not really huge. They were just big. On a typical busy weekend (and no, I'm not talking about morning skiing) they spill way beyond the RFID gates. So e.g. on the quad I have to make a big circle around slowly moving people in order to get to the farthest gate. Now that's when it gets bad! On the positive side, in cases like that they start organizing the line into singles, doubles, triples, etc, so if you're skiing alone you don't have to wait too long. Quote
eaf Posted January 12, 2018 Report Posted January 12, 2018 I got stuck yesterday at the Valley lodge when they closed the express at 9:45. Luckily there was a shuttle. I actually wonder what happened to salty. He was doing the last Lazy run with me and was supposed to come all the way down, but I think he changed his mind in the middle, went to the Main lift and avoided the shuttle altogether. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 12, 2018 Report Posted January 12, 2018 For a Thursday night the crowds were huge!!! 1 Quote

I saw a leaflet in the lodge, next first Thursday tickets are gonna be $19, and the one after $33. Not terribly enticing. I don't even know who would pay $33 for a 4-hour ticket in spring, especially at night. Quote

I don't even know who would pay $33 for a 4-hour ticket in spring, especially at night. The four hour ticket is good anytime of day though. I don't know $33 is still cheaper than what they normally charge. Last night was a perfect storm of school groups, mild weather the day before rain and the discount. I noticed the two food food trucks were open at the base and nobody was in line at them. I'm thinking people who spend $12 for a lift ticket probably don't want to spend $12 for a sandwich. Quote
