Ya'll will still go and fight to get on that lift to get to the top and be the first down.
What ever!
Do any of you really take this to heart when the snow flies?
Most if not all, are on the road, waiting and fighting to get on the lift in order to have first tracks in all that fresh POW.
I see this " gotta get the first tracks" attitude during and after every "dump". All regardless of depth and Snow Fall report.
This report is a totally a moot point.... ya'll will still pay and get on that lift.
All good questions, Chief, but no. I don't resort ski any more for all the above reasons you've mentioned. I did that for almost 30 years. Sadly, resorts have changed dramatically and it's no longer about the "skier experience" but about the "money the resort can rake in for the shareholders so let's do what we can to get the yahoos on the hill."
I started out as a Nordic skier and I've returned to my roots, that is, earning my turns on whatever equipment is good for the day. Thus the only reports I read are on the Colorado Avalanche webpage. Beyond that, this report simply confirms what we already know. It's kinda like payback time and there are more than a few of us out there who feel this way.
