The terrain looks really nice there. How are the crowds compared to the other summit county areas?

Historically fairly similar to Breck/Keystone, though this season I've noticed that only a couple of lifts have lines - Poma, Timberline, Eagle/Flyer during 10a-2p crunch time. That's about it (OK, sometimes Tucker cat has a line). Ski anywhere else and it's pretty much ski right on (super B, resolution, copper bowl lifts, sierra, etc...). Even Excelerator, which is weird as that historically had big lines in recent years. Hard to say if Vail Inc passes are stealing people away or if it's only the economic downturn.

A very few short clips of the day. Actually got the wife to take a video clip of me for a change (and remember to push the record button too!):

Was that your wife in the powder? Whoever that was she was struggling. I like the wipeouts though. Perhaps, a pair of powder skis would help.

I recognized that mine wheel off of I-70. I for sure saw that a couple weeks back and thought "man that is cool." I have to say I really enjoyed watching that kid wipeout.

Yep, she skied the whole thing pretty good actually until toward the very bottom where I happened to be filming of course (a bit more dense snow down lower). The shot where I zoom out to show the hill she was just sitting there waiting for me to set up after we exchanged the camera. I told her that her crash on film was to make up for the crash she filmed of me earlier in the season (Eldora 1-25 video).
 
Well kudos for your wife's great attitude. If my lady fell like that I might have to find a comfortable couch that night.
