The website says the lift opens at 9, which it did, but a local told me they often open it at 8:45. I was having such a grate time since the other lifts were line free for an hour. I did about 4 very nice runs Then I made a ridiculously stupid decision to come back to Canyon base area. I was like "oh the line is long but it's not sooooo bad". But then a worker like the elf in A Christmas Story said "the line ends here. It begins there" and pointed about 1 mile away. The line goes on and on and on and on and on to basically infinity. Soooo I'm drinking a coffee since the elf told me dont bother with the line and get breakfast. I guess soon I'll work up the stamina to do the 45 minute wait. I will never go back to the base area again in early day. Funk!!!! Edited February 28, 2021 by saltyant 2 Quote
Popular Post saltyant Posted February 28, 2021 Author Popular Post Report Posted February 28, 2021 Favorite run so far - Aplande off the Condor lift. Very nice steep groomer. Just a bit run off afterwards like Shuttle 10 Quote

saltyant Posted February 28, 2021 Author Report Posted February 28, 2021 Good deal. After my coffee break the lines went down substantially. They move the lines quickly and I like their system here. Also people seem more willing to pair up on lifts than in PA/NY Quote

Alta, PC, DV all have one main lift, Sunshine at Alta or Collins if it snows, Silver Lake at DV and you know PC now. When it's busy you'll tend to notice everyone is pretty much going the same ways so go the other way. It's like Vail you have to ski back to front because all the herbs are going the other way but it's raining here so enjoy man I would much rather be at PC. 3 1 Quote

For a Sunday I'm astonished at how quickly I can board many of the lifts. I found a nice one that I can keep lapping some fun runs. But yeah, I always try to be a contrarian and do what the crowds dont. Sun's out, blue skies, amazing snow conditions. It doesn't get better than this! 7 Quote

Shouldn’t be as bad for you on the weekdays. Quote
