    At first glance, that would seem to be an improvement, but I am curious if they are moving in sync with the bird.

    The 23" season total probably isnt right. The 26" base is right, and comes from the Alta-collins plot:

    I emailed Wilson and Mendenhall urging them to join Ron Wyden in condemning Powdr. Probably wont go anywhere, but may be worth sending them a note saying that this should be reversed / condemned.

    Any thoughts on where the most grassy slope is? Was thinking about taking a lap to two up by the wildcat chair (between stim and punch bowl) and then coming down on path where the groomer will be.

    I could be wrong, but I interpreted the 6am-1pm enforcement window as the period that you have to have a rez to be there. i.e. you could get there before 6am AND leave before 6am, but I dont think...

    Ski areas are a low marginal cost business. While an ikon swipe of 40-70 is lower than they would otherwise make on day tickets, its still profitable.

    Pretty sure they get paid per day, but it may be more complicated than that (e.g. upfront share based on forecasted days with true up later on). And Crystal is owned by Alterra. Would love to hear...
