Nice job to all to all that convinced a fellow skier that missing 8 days from her lifetime of possible ski days and experiences was a good idea. If the plan was to discourage a few extra folks from showing adding to early season crowd well played. Rub a little salt into wounds of those that stayed home with opening day pictures and tales. This may have been the only chance she would ever have to every ski The Basin and bask in the opening day stoke. Choosing to go skiing is always the correct choice in my world.
Okee doke. If it's always the right choice for you, you wouldn't have asked, just gone. They asked.
It's been over 40F, I think, every day since opening, and no real snow ...
Part of the problem may be that you're asking people who live in Colorado and have access to some of the best skiing on the planet mid season - whether it's worth it to travel to ski a WROD.
That being said, mountain biking right now around here is glorious.
Also I'm headed up to ski shortly. But I'm only investing a couple of hours.
