Ops folks are prepping for a Monday opener. Maybe/probably passholders only.
Asked the marketing-looking guy how many Ikon passes they sold in the area.
"More than last year."

I've purchased the Ikon as per usual, but I'm contemplating buy a Stevens Pass just incase xtal is a gong show. I don't want to lose the option to defer my pass if the alterra-overloards can't figure out how to manage the pass holders. It would be fun to ski Stevens again since I haven't had a pass there in years. But I do love me some B-lot.
Good to see the jongs getting after the early season goods! Keep the stoke coming!

might duck the gnarly windstorm from the earlier fx, too... could've been a big power outage with leaves still around.

So is Crystal planning on bombing and setting the cat road to Silver Basin this weekend? Otherwise, why won't they let the public up that area this weekend? They normally let people hike Silver Basin early season. At a minimum, they should allow people to take the summer trail up/down to Hen Skin Lake and ski the area below Three-Way that is not in-bounds terrain. I would say they can't stop you from doing this but to access this summer trail one has to hike briefly up Gold Hills, although I assume they are not prepping Gold Hills for opening. When did I miss the memo that Vail owns Crystal?

Would love to know what delineates "upper mountain". So everything below green valley is cool?

Their twitter says everything within ski area boundary is prohibited.
Beginning 11/13: Uphill travel is prohibited within the ski area boundary. Extensive avalanche mitigation work, equipment operation and maintenance is occurring before opening. During the season, uphill travel will be occasionally permitted following our Uphill Travel Policy.
I just watched Trial of Chicago 7 and am inspired for a good protest skin.

As some one who practices regularly in Pierce County District Court (where such charge would be filed) they don't have time for prosecuting that shit. Have you been to Spanaway?
Anyway, not saying people should be touring where they are avy bombing, but this trend of banning uphill travel both before and after the ski area is open is bullshit. It didn't used to be this way at both Crystal and Stevens. I get keeping people off everywhere other than South Back. But (assuming) they aren't opening South Back for weeks so what is the problem with people skinning up Quicksilver and skiing Silver Basin. This is the first time I can think of where they are saying you can't skin up Quicksilver and then tour out the boundary adjacent to Silver Basin. And yes, there are other out of ski area boundary options around Crystal but in bounds ski area touring is always the best early season for low brush approaches. Fuck these private equity corporate overloards.

There didn't used to be that many people touring prior to opening.
A lot was full yesterday.
Want to guess how many would turn up on a weekend. And want road and parking lots plowing. Ski patrol to unstick their skins. Deal with injuries.
All while short staffed and dealing with 3 foot storm prior to opening on Monday.
If they didn't... lower mountain open only on Monday while they do get everything done.
I know you know your shit and would safely navigate around the control work and not ski a closed area... you want to bet on all the others?

seemed like a lot of folks and activity at the base but only two other parties I saw skiing in 5hrs... maybe yesterday was busier on the mtn but I bet a lot of cars belonged to employees
not that it changes the gripe
