Just so you guys know, I stomped that air. Hard. I was thinking of posting a TR about it. Little gripped above the rock face, but I just kind of took a deep breath, visualized, and pointed them. Thankfully it all worked out.

Woodsy left there and Ice frequents there. Those are reasons enough to stay away. Originally Posted by MacDaddy

now that I've spent some time at both, have passes this year at both I can say that it's no better at either place. either place you're skiing crud by noon. You can find good snow if you hike/sidestep at either place after a storm. Originally Posted by bryanthebold

Yes, you can sidestep 20 minutes and ride 3 lifts for 5-10 turns...not much different than the bookend chutes. am I wrong?
there have been liftlines this season, and there has been a real tendancy for sol to be chop really early in the day.

That's because people on this board won't shut the hell up about the place. Originally Posted by YetiMan

Apparently that's happened. Moral: if you like someplace, zip your lip.

No shit. That's why I don't ski Solitude anymore. But everyone else should. Originally Posted by YetiMan

it's just been kind of a letdown to look around most solitude pow days this year and go
"hey, so...it's 11:00 and I'm skiing bumps now..hmm....and they're way way shorter bump runs than LCC...hmmm. so...I didn't go over there why?"
^^^had that thought quite a few times this year, seriously^^^
