I skied there last year in October, midweek. It was good, a good beginning. It was intermediate also, not horrible snow, a lot of natural. A lot of race teams were around trying to get going on practice courses. The next day A-Basin opened, not bad either, then Copper which we did not go to (all near by in Colorado). I got a deal on
http://www.hotwire.com for 500.00 which was a non-stop ticket round trip from L.A. to Denver, car rental and 3 nights at the Sheraton Tech center in outer Denver for only 500.00 tax included. I met another patroller there and we had a blast. The hotel was nice and delightfully empty as were the ski areas. I did not want to see the place packed, ever.
I found this:

I may be sitting out the season and only doing cross country to to a knee injury this fall, not ski related. I was the third to fall on a newly laquered floor. I am healing slowly, as sprains always do at any age. My attitude about it all needs a lot of healing as a frustrated skier, however.
Poor me, pour me, pour me some snow from above for cross country this season on flat trails, easy on the knee, good for the soul! Carol Responding to Patrick!
