Popular Post Barb Posted July 4, 2019 Popular Post Report Posted July 4, 2019 Met up with my friend at 6 and made it there by 7. Parking filling up fast but we got a good spot. Booted up and waited in line for almost an hour to get my Abasin 4th of July t shirt. Got in the lift line about 8:05 and lift started spinning at 8:30. The pope was even there! Lots of good costumes and a gapetastic atmosphere. Took the main lift up then went over to Lenawee (I think), only other lift open. That took us higher on the mountain. Conditions were already pretty mushy and mashed potato like. Considering the date coverage was still pretty good edge to edge and not a WROD. Did one more run from Lenawee and called it. Complete shit show crowds. We left about 10 and as we were leaving the amount of cars trying to get in was insane! People walking all over the pass. Also lots of people heavily tailgating in the parking lot that I suspect will not set foot on snow today. Glad I went, did it, and don’t have to repeat it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 11 2 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted July 4, 2019 Report Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) Barb great pictures and timely report. So some of those folks were standing around for a t shirt?? Glad you were an early bird!!!!! Looks like some good coverage still on the upper mountain. I like Abasin I have more days there than any Colorado resort. You skied exactly the amount I would have.

Not everybody is as savvy as most of the PASRs. I heard people were parked down in keystone and hitchhiking or walking up..walking that’s like 6 miles Edited July 4, 2019 by GrilledSteezeSandwich Quote

Mammoth and Squaw valley and I believe beartooth Pass which straddles the Montana/Wyoming border has two rope rows running..steepest rope tow I’ve ever seen the upper run goes to a ridge.

I don’t shop though I just go to the dealership and tell them what I want and say no to all the extended warranties and rust protection. Quote
