    I'm in town for few weeks, thinking of hitting up Baldy. I've only come up in the Spring in the past, so I'm wondering how bad the snowplay traffic will be? If I come up before the lifts open, does...

    So I rolled up at 8:30 and still got second box. Unreal on a pow day. When the doors opened, more snowboarders downloading, meaning they got first box just to go back down? Hardcore tourism. I guess...

    It’s unbelievable, really. I’ve riden the tram like 5x more than I did all last season and it just opened last week. Walk ons, wind buff creamy bowl, stashes in trees, limited terrain but wowww...

    Granted I'm a noob that just got started here 8 years ago, spot on. Utterly depressing, I just end up spending less and less time at the village, and for other reasons might not stick around for too...

    I haven't been out much at the village, it's not worth my anxiety. Early season when it was super quiet was almost like heaven, but when tourons started to rush in before the...

    I think it's really telling that season passes AND mountain collective passes are not being restricted, but Ikon is put on hold. I wonder how this is going to effect storm chasers?

    Today: creamy turns off AV first thing in the morning, farming tree pow in Teton when AV was on hold. Kept moving along, stashes on Casper then a three box wait. Wind for the win! Definitely deep...

    Crowds have been lighter than I expected during the holiday rush period, as well as most of January. But like skibrd said, it's been getting worse. I've never seen a day with lines like yesterday.

    Today was just awesome. Got me a few hobacks runs before it got real crowded at base. I don’t get to go out again til Saturday so I’m pretty happy I got this in.

    To add to Rule #2: No matter how ikonic it gets, some of the good stuff stays fresher longer as a result -- let jerry trash the groomers and cut away tower 3 all day long. Leads into Rule #3.

    It's kind of fucked that one can buy a $2000+ grand pass at JHMR and not get ANY of the Ikon benefits while getting all the downsides of increased crowding. Can't even throw them a bone with 5-days...

    The turtle gear is a common sighting at Niseko. A Japanese local I was riding with was quick to tell me "NO NOT JAPANESE! FROM CHINA!" So I'm guessing it's a snowboarder from China or got em in China.

    Customer service is already hammered with Ikonic levels of complaints. I feel bad for staff that has bonuses tied to customer satisfaction because it certainly is out of their control.

    Cams look worse to me today. Parking was full sooner than yesterday. Gates closed too. Kind of glad I’m working today and avoiding all this.
