Any pictures of old school Little Gap that you have?

[Ski2Live Live2Ski]

Nah no pix - didnt ever carry a camera skiing back when phones were mounted on walls. My first skis I owned were used rentals from Little Gap and had the name printed on the poles, but those are long gone.

A combination of 

Habit - it was the only game in town when I started

Ski right away rather than waiting in line first

More scenic

Closer to my home - no reason to drive down and up a mountain an extra time. 

Facilities nicer looking

You enjoy riding the lift back to your car? That's one thing I don't like about Jack Frost.

He has a good point with the mini run. If given the choice sometimes I’d rather end my ski day on easy out or connector than on a plethora of amazing runs from frighteningly steep double diamonds to blue squares with twists and turns.  Touch the sky blue mountain

Yeah, @NastarGlenn called me a Jerry but I skied the parking lot on my RTMs and was buying new skis so I didn't care. Blue Mountain should add Parking Lot as their 41st trail, maybe it can even be a black diamond.

Easy Out to end the day. Only time I generally ski it. Traversing Connector bites.

And usually my only Burma run is start of day.
