    Has the Death Star known as Vail ever said what their reservation limit is? Do actually know what capacity numbers look like vs regular numbers?

    Yeh, Just the fact it is a smaller gondy and can’t pair up singles. We may have to start driving to the village.

    Any one here work with Ops or Patrol, hearing rumors of when the Alpine might open? Feels like there is enough snow for them to open soon, unless it's a cost decision.

    Wind has moved stuff around quite a bit. Groomers are pushing things around. Main issue is egress points as one doesn't want beginners tomahawking into rock gardens

    Plan is to adjust capacity dynamically as the traffic flows are more known. One of the upsides of the investment by the old WB monolith is realtime traffic flow numbers. Having said that I don't see how one can adjust that by much of delta. The variables (pow-frenzy, traffic on highways, lift-issues) are too complex. Too many moving parts

    Vail and Alterra don't release that info as they claim it is a trade secret.

    Aren't some states imposing capacity limits, though? It seems like this information would need to be made public to ensure compliance with the state orders.

    Passed that line at Creekside at 8:25 or so. Zero slow downs on the highway (even between Function and Creekside) so I don't think much/most of it is from the city.

    Parked in lot 2, paid my $10, and walked on to Fitz with zero line.

    LOL

    3 valley lifts and 1 at mid outta town-options.
    Creekside, all the lazy S of town traffic-no options.



    Good 4 laps out the Flute way after 4 resort runs.
    Lots of bombing inside the boundary going on while were out back.

    Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.

    i know of that site but doesn't seem to be accurate. if i'm reading it correctly, it says that glacier and crystal and other alpine lifts have been open when they haven't.

    was going to head up today to get into the bcomb slack but had to cancel last minute due to offspring issues. choked. looks so money up there. please post pics and stoke if you made it up there (might regret this request)

    Saw a MIN report yesterday of south stuff off Blackcomb pinwheeling/getting mushy yesterday afternoon while north faces were decent, now it’s 5C at Peak, have to figure that warm surface air would overcome the benefit of north aspects and low impact of sun at this time of year, at least for anything in the 2100-2200ish elevation band? Curious to hear reports the next few days.

    Ya don’t know if ya don’t go.

    Clear high pressure w short days and warm temps(+5-8) is different than a cloudy greenhouse humid day.
    Did 4 laps on N aspects on the Peak.

    Great pow.

    Excitation/Exhilaration(can’t remember which is which-had to scurry in the very bottom of the pinner one) Glacier Couloir and Stephans-snow was good to bottom of W bowl.

    They’re cool with touring up to peak? Destroying shale slope would be rad but assume that's not allowed

    Looks like Peak might run tomorrow. They were setting up the lift lines, signs and ropes at top etc today. It’s pretty much shrapled up there tho.
