Everywhere's crowded dead preznits weekend. Even Canada. I'd figure that Solitude would be the least crowded of a crowded bunch. parking - a good excuse to get there at 7:30 (which is a leisurely 9:30 eastern time). Maybe a good weekend to take up XC? The closest I'll get to Solitude Resort that weekend is the bar. Me too. But the bar I'll be at will be farther than the bar you're at. //Walt |

But would Solitude from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. offer more opportunity than Brighton from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.? If you can last from 9am to 4pm and still want more, you are a better man than I. People who ski first chair to last are pretty rare - I'm one of them, but I'm usually ready to quit after 7 hours. Most people last two to three hours and are done for the day. We certainly wouldn't go nonstop until closing time. No way. It's just that a later close means more flexibility if we get there late, or take a long lunch, or want to take a lesson, etc. I was hoping it might also mean less population density on the slopes, since people can spread out their activity over more hours. In short, we really don't *need* the extra five hours, but I thought their availability might be helpful. My advice: get there early for first tracks. Eat lunch early, then get out on the hill from noon to 1 when everybody else is in the lodge. Spend the after-lunch rush on the least travelled part of the ski area (hint: look for old slow fixed grip chairs) Venture back to the main areas after 3, when the crowds are packing it in. If you have any energy left after that, you were milking it - try harder tomorrow. Sounds like a sensible plan. Is there a huge rush for the ski buses at the end of the day? Do more buses run to accommodate the crowd? Joe Ramirez |

And also, you really think you will be coming from Pennsylvania and skiing twelve hours? Just a thought. No -- as I mentioned in another post, it's more for flexibilty than for duration.
