emtp563 Posted January 27, 2007 Report Posted January 27, 2007 Camelback was pretty busy last night. Lots of school kids and lots of busses. Here is a pic: Quote
Glenn Posted January 28, 2007 Report Posted January 28, 2007 I was only waiting 1-2 minutes in the singles line. When that thing backs up, it's not even worth staying on the mountain. Quote
bigdaddyk Posted January 28, 2007 Report Posted January 28, 2007 That's why I avoid CB. It looks like the mt. is empty and everybody is at the lift. Quote

Well with the quad being the only lift worth riding (aside from the park lift, and possibly raceway depending on the day/conditions) most of the crowd gets dispersed between a number of trails. While you do have to worry about liftlines (but not if you get there early, leave before the crowds arrive, and ride singles if the normal lline is long) you can still ride on resonably empty trails, if you know how to pick them, and you can ride all the terrain. JF handles the same problem by having tons of lifts, each servicing only a few trails. Alot more chairs go up empty, but if the uphill capacity isn't maxed out then the trails are decently emtpy as well. It's ski area science, store the people in the air not the ground. Quote
Karenemt Posted January 30, 2007 Report Posted January 30, 2007 The kids had fun skiing and it was nice and cold outside It was nice and cold inside too.... - the heat did not go on once in the lodge in the whole 5 hours I sat there as a chaperone. Quote
