^Great news so far. Best of all I can ski the Basin again. Gives me another reason to pass through Summit.

How long is someone supposed to care who opened first? Asking for a friend.

Nobody cares that 99.99999% of the people on the planet don't care.
It is for the 19 year olds who actually do give a shit for no real reason except life is fresh and skiing is still magical and they aren't yet jaded and they are the future of the sport anyway. They are fucking stoked.

A Basin leaving Epic Pass
That, and they can post about it on Facebook/Instagram/WhatsApp, which is what really matters.

And, if they have a season's pass, never miss a Saturday. Now they only have seven days at most, if Ikon, to do that. They're all down the road at Keystone or over at Breck.
I could care less who opens first, just sayin'that lack of crowds is an awesome sign for the Abasin pass holder. Maybe that all changes next season if they change to all Ikon or something, but, this season looks great.

Ikon holders are probably saving their days. I have an ikon base and an a basin midweek. I looked at the cam and thought about going for some runs yesterday but would rather save those 5 days for weekends in the spring

I'd like to know how many Epic vs IKON passes were sold on the front range. Powder days, especially on weekends, could definitely turn into shitshows. However, they still might not be nearly as bad as they were in the Epic era. Also I bet a lot of people hold out for spring skiing but then never use the days. WP is actually open into May so that could help keep crowds down too.
I think another big contributor to the crowds in the past was the VR employees. All winter long, but especially in the spring, after all the other resorts closed, those folks were a very large part of the crowds that swarmed the Basin. They were also very big contributors to the Gaper day insanity.

A basin is less crowded this year because I'm no longer there. Most of the crowd last year was just hoping to catch a glimpse of me.

Maybe they sell more day tickets? It takes a special kind of gaper to drive to an Epically clusterfucked Basin and pay for a ticket. Things will balance out for them I think in the end. Super crowded junk show is not really sustainable either
More than any of the useless brain picking of Al and his blog or spreadsheets they won't share with the public this certainly illustrates what a juggernaut Epic is in the front range.

And in Summit and over in Vail, too. As mentioned, so many people are employed by Vail Corp.. Why powder mornings at Breck suck. Between the townies and instructors, it's gone by 10am.
