Hunter Conditions

It wasn’t deep today. It was good in the usual spots.

Place was really crowded today. Seems that most had the same thought that I did, that few inches of meh was better than nothing. So, fifteen minutes at the main six pack. Place is not open enough to accommodate hundreds of aggro Hunter skiers on the same, dangerous trails.

Noticed something else kind of disgusting today. As we know, the bar is closed, which I welcomed early in the year, but now it seems that a lot of drinking is taking place in the parking lot and the lifts. There was some blatant drunkenness in the lift lines a few times, (STFU), and the ground under the Katteskill lift was littered with maybe fifty beer cans right before it created over the top of the mountain. Friggin' ghetto. Trash.

Looks like any kind of snow on weekdays will make the experience like Saturdays of old. Lord help the Saturday people if it snows on Friday.

Noticed something strange. Rode the quad on the west side up, and Westway, right under it, wasn't even mowed down this summer. There's practically trees growing up over a lot of it. Wtf? Are they even planning on opening that trail? Why did they put that chair in? Just for Claire's? The management of that mountain seems to be intent upon driving customers away.

Midweek is busier than weekends sometimes now. And they didn’t run the f chair making the six pack jammed with people.

This doesn’t really surprise me I guess. You find empties there even when the bar is open. With the bar closed it must be even worse.
 
Yeah, the F chair is crucial. And it was open the last three weekdays I was there.

The beer cans were a real turn off. That crowd is not impressive.
 
The F chair always ran Friday-Sunday plus holidays. I'm not sure if they're still on that schedule. I feel very strongly that the lift schedule should be determined by the number of reservations and not by day of the week. Vail knows exactly how many people are coming each day, so they need to run enough lifts for the crowd that they get.

Noticed more than the usual couple cans ditched under the lift at Lab today too. Why can’t we have nice things? How dare they?
 
This is why I have tap out for the season

I don’t know how anyone can construe this as a fun day. Ya all nuts. Booting up like a mook in the lot, no place to warm up , no lodge to eat in and ya got to make a non refundable reservation for a record high priced lift ticked. Less aggravation at work and I get paid
