I agree Howie. It seemed pretty busy to me too. Even the trails at ME seemed more crowded than usual on a Saturday. The base lodge at ME was packed when I went down there as well to get a new pass after somehow losing mine (someone actually found it as later on when heading up the Summit quad I saw it sitting on the control panel. I expected the clip to be broken but it wasn't so I really have no idea how it came off my jacket).
