Open to 1 today. That has been the usual weekend warrior hours this season. Parked at lot E for the easy bathroom access and started on the Hawk. It was fairly firm and windy on the north side so we made our way across the ridge slowly. A dusting of natural snow was nice for the first couple of runs but wind was pushing things around. Onondaga stacked up a lot of really nice man made snow without the guns in your face so we stuck to that for awhile. Crowds were heavy the two times we went all the way down to the gondola but manageable on the hill.

To 1 to deal with crowds correct? Bounced between hawk, old 7 and belle express?

I tend to do half days unless its spring or a powder day. Skied off groomers and flat light on a cold January afternoon doesn't exactly do it for me. Mostly stuck to Belleayre Express, it was too windy and cold for multiples on Hawk and Overlook Quad IMO.
