_ It's no longer backcountry and will be skiied out by 10am.
It's great for Mt. Rose skiers and probably a benefit overall
after the death two seasons ago.

_ I haven't skiied that pass many times, but even without the
lifts it gets skiied out amazing fast.

Great opportunity. I'll track out fast, but then again, what good run
doesn't on a powder day? There's always other places to go once that
happens.

I thought the definition of a good run included that it didn't get
tracked out fast.

_ Then there are no good runs at any California ski resort,
or pretty much any resort I've been to in the last five years.
Heck even the runs you have to hike to get tracked out an hour
or two after the gates open. Fat skis have made everybody
into a powder hero...

Check. All true.

or two after the gates open.

Not always. There's a few I'm thinking of that don't.

.... in their own mind.

Lean back and you'll turn to the heel side.

Heh, then there was the time the snow turned into a trampoline when
using my Hexcel Split Tails.
