I haven't even made it up there yet this season.

My youngest wanted to finish the day with a Derailer run on Thursday... that was a mistake.

Sounds like a stormy pattern will setup in about 2 weeks.
So stroked!

Heard WP was Vail-like this weekend? Did everyone in Denver ditch the Epic and go RMSP?

Probably some have. But I'd wager its just more people living in the Front Range. WP got the reputation as being the "closer" place to go to get you off of I70 sooner compared to any other major resort.

A friend said Keystone and AB were pretty Epic on Saturday.

There was literally no parking left by 9:30. I have never seen it that bad.

Limited terrain concentrates the masses, and folks are powder starved - can't blame 'em.

Pavi was pretty slammed 10:30-12:30. Before and after were okay. BME was Epic. Norway lift was only 5min-ish wait most the day.

Anyone up around Steamboat have beta on BC conditions? Thinking of sneaking up there to ski resort on Friday, and get out in the BC if I can find a partner and conditions permit to beat the weekend crowds.

Not my picture but this was taken yesterday morning heading to Keystone. Apparently its a 2 mile backup from the entrance. I got to Abasin at 8:10 and it didn't take me any longer than normal so it started sometime after that. The lines weren't bad at all. When Pali got busy I just went and rode Norway or Lenawee. I rarely waited more than 5 minutes in the Lenawee singles line.

I arrived at WP at 7:20. I couldn’t believe how much traffic there was at that time. I was sort of thinking of going to Copper but google maps showed a +16 min red zone from pretty much the tunnel to just before Copper with virtually no yellow anywhere else enroute to Copper or WP. I was like hell no! So I crossed that off not knowing if it was a wreck, safety closure or who knows what and went to WP like I planned. I wonder if other RMSP+ holders did the same.
