Ok so even though I would like to ski as early as possible I think the new owner/snow making crew are going in the right direction. If you remember past years they opened up with like 5 trails. Well with these 5 trails handling all of the traffic conditions got pretty crappy very quick. So by opening up with, lets say 15 trails, the skier traffic is more spread out, thus far saving the conditions of the mountian going south so quick....
