Just wondering if there is gonna be weekend-level traffic on i70 tomorrow and whether the lots are gonna spill over.

Oh fuck yeah you can count on it. Add to the fact that the ikon base pass holders are off their blackout days tomorrow and it's gonna be a rowdy one.

I bet you see more vaction traffic heading back to their shanties down i-70. I would guess it'll be busy considering its gonna be a Wednesday but still less packed than it'll be this coming Saturday.

I wasn't blacked out on either of my passes this week but didn't even want to go. Rode Christmas eve and it was packed as fuck. When everyone gets the fuck out of town I'll start riding again.

Also back to my normal shift getting out at 9 am so who knows, Maybe I'll even ride in the morning.

Fuck crowds

I live in Colorado and today (new years Eve) it was crazy busy, so I would assume New year's day would also be busy

Ya it was a stunner though, I cannot complain. I equally love the sunshine as much as storm days

Hell yea. Most resorts will be pretty much slammed today, especially on the 70 corridor.

You can always go to a chair that gets less traffic. Some days have to be treated differently than others. But everywhere you ski I'd assume you have a lift you go to from 930-1130 when the gapes fill things up until lunch etc etc. Always a good time to ski slack country and when your gonna be hiking a bit the 10 minute lift wait isn't that bad cause you'll probably only do it once.

Well, I’m back to report that Winter Park today was not quite as bad as yesterday. More Jerry’s yesterday, and more traffic.


Can’t wait til all these stupid assholes clear out.

You're not in traffic, you ARE traffic.

The basin was pretty damn good today, all the day pass tourists stuck to bme while pali was dead and provided free refills till about 2pm.

Bomb ass day, happy new year errybody

LOL

All of last week and until this coming Monday, shit will be crowded as fuck. Add in 2.5” of snow and you can pretty much guarantee mayhem.

Squaw was chill this afternoon. Just drove up today as my pas was blacked out last week and lodging was MIA. It probably helps that it was raining/sleeting all morning as well. Anyway, no lift lines from 1pm-4pm. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

New Years or anywhere around that is usually a complete zoo. Christmas Day has always been super chill but Christmas Eve is a nightmare.

Early morning on New Years Day is always empty. Once it hits 10am though its a shitshow once jerry wakes up and is still hungover.
