Heard is was so crowed that they where parking over flow in the Blue Tooth parking lot and that at North people where parking on German Flats road. Last year they had 4000 people and with the warm weather today they where expecting a lot more.

Also heard the wood chucks had pulled out the skies from the 60's and older. Hopefully they did not ski the trees out. But new snow tonight should help fill it in.

Don't know how I missed this one.

So I was there... working.

It was a kinda madhouse.

I only took two runs, both on Gatehouse, separated by a lot of giving directions and suggestions. I was out close to noon and was surprised how little time I spent in the singles' line.

And as people were leaving, I asked a lot of them how they liked it. I got 100% saying they had a great time. That goes for those who arrived and left during the first 3 hours of the day and those leaving at the end.

The weather was warm. The snow was nice, (and really incredible for this early.) and most people weren't really surprised to find it crowded.

So what are the coments from those who went?

it was really crowded early, but then it faded out. we started off at mt. ellen and immediately took the slide brook over to the south side. it was less crowded there, but the castlerock chair always had a long line. the cover was spotty on a lot of trails and rocks were all over the mountain. didn't really venture into the trees that much, but you could tell they were fine. all in all it was a great day and the $5.50 lift ticket made it even better.
