lol, i remember how excited i was when i posted this. now i'm almost in tears worried about the drive and the crowds tomorrow. screw this... it's not worth it. want my trail report? here it is... oh yay, they have 2 trails open and it took me 6 hours to drive up here in traffic and weather from denver. the 2 trails got boring by about 3 PM. now we have 2 more days up here and all we get to do is sit around and drink and wonder if they'll open another trail. whoot.

Gina,
I don't know what to tell you. Early season is iffy. I skied Keystone yesterday and Copper today. For what is open conditions are good. Some icy areas but few rocks. Yes, more crowded than I prefer but I'm spoiled, I don't ski during holidays.
Copper is opening the Super B on Friday and the areas are slowly opening more. It's going to be very cold and they are blowing snow like crazy. Hopefully, the storm will help but it doesn't sound hopeful.
Vail opens tomorrow and that will help the crowds. It's 8:10 pm and I can see I-70 from the tunnel into Dillion from my condo. There is a steady stream of traffic. :(
If you haven't skied yet this year remember that this is time to get your ski legs back, get out early, eat lunch early, ski between 12:00 and 1:00 while everyone else is eating lunch. Relax and enjoy yourself. Quit when your tired. You have the whole season to ski hard, this isn't the time for it.

Yes early season is difficult. Last year I attended the CSIA convention at Tremblant. Fiirst it rained for 2 days, then cold. They had 3 runs open and only 1/2 way to the bottom. Over 400 instructors and staff on not much area. Plus add about another 100 or so weekend warriors- first flakers into the mix and it was not fun either. So I agree with little lightening. Get you ski legs back, make sure your equipment is up to snuff and enjoy your friends. Leave early on Sunday if the conditions don't improve and get ahead of the traffic. And at least your skiing - I'm not!! It was 50 degree around here today. No snow, but some coming.
They opened this AM with 8 runs. Top only both sides. Check out my friends site: www.tremblant-insider.com, click on chat or www. tremblog.com Going up Friday to ski Sat and Sun.
