A-Basin skiers can eat a bag of dicks

Like any ski area, it's often a game of aspects. The bigger the area, the more choices of aspects, but the more knowledge of the mountain comes into play.

Northwoods was probably good, unless it got too warm up there too.

Yeah - Back Bowls after sun? No thanks.

Someone should have told your buddy that Vail sucks.

Yeah--wasn't his trip either (he was tagging along on someone else's plans), but I also think they are a little more in Vail's target demo. This was the first glint of sun--most of the day was low-viz and a bit of continued snow. Sounds like they were skiing almost spring conditions over the weekend/monday so the refreeze was rough.

But hey, crowds were non-existent, pretty much skied on to chair most rides. Hadn't been to Vail in years and the scale of lift operations there is astounding.

Got a chuckle out of hearing people talk about delays and operations issues with the new Game Creek chair only to go ride it and notice it is the exact same chair as Whitefish's new chair that got evacuated a few weeks ago. Let the record state that 2022 was not a good time to be building a Leitner-Poma 6-pack!

Northwoods was probably good, unless it got too warm up there too.

Yeah, I found that later in the day and probably the best overall snow was the 2 laps I did there--prima cornice and prima to pronto, although when prima first kicks to steep, it was pretty nasty--deeply rutted and then refrozen moguls (I'm assuming thats a run that gets the "bro, I skied a double black" traffic??)--which is what diverted me to Pronto (and the trees below it) which skied nicely.

End of the day I made it over to Blue Sky Basin and found some nice turns in sections. Lovers Leap area and the lower half of the skyline lift line had better accumulation and the stuff underneath was a bit softer.

Yeesh - sounds like day-drinking in the pub would have been a better idea.

harsh conditions out there this morning. Unfavorable wind direction, seemingly lots of wind and real cold temps did not make for easy skiing. the sheltered areas in the beavers were most fun but I did not last long.

didn't make it into the bar yesterday.

I would expect busy weekends (saturdays) from here on out. obviously this weekend will be especially busy with presidents day but in talking to folks on the lift last week friday and saturday it seems like folks are just starting to use their ikon days and they seemed to like driving to the basin vs the shit show that copper has been this season. that said I really don't think a lot of that crowd fully understands the basin as I heard a lot of remarks about how rocky things were and they thought the coverage would be better
