Do you know anyone that has gone Rky ?
I see Keystone is opening today.
no, i don't. a few more have opened. i'm still kinda fuzzy on how we are doing it here. you need to make reservations but i don't know much more than that. it's been really warm here up to the last few days so haven't switched to ski mode yet. lol.

i'm homeschooling the kiddo this year so i'm hoping we can make some mid week trips. ski cooper has (not sure now?) 30 dollar thursdays.
I'm in the same boat. Don't know if I'll get many days to myself......except weekends. But limited day visits and limited travel might make weekends much better than they have been. This weekend thing is new to me :(

Snow Summit in Big Bear.
Mammoth is also opening this Fri. but it's a 5-6hr drive, also usually crazy lines opening week, & only the bottom of the mtn open,
I have an 8 ft rule I try to follow before going up to Mammoth.
Im still a little gun shy (Covid ) right now, Im gonna wait & talk to friends that live there before I make he trip up.
Big Bear is only a little less than 2hrs.. sooooo....
& I need some exercise, I haven't got off the couch since late March, so I use the local hill early season to ski back into shape.

Ikon passes do not require reservations as of yet. The lines @ the Colorado resort cams I've seen don't look too bad so far.
This season will be a crap shoot for sure.

luckily she's my ski buddy now. she tried both skiing and boarding and stuck with skiing. Yeah!! but my thought is to ski during the week and do school on a Sat or Sun to make up for it.

I don't have the patience for weekends since I retired. Wish ya luck bro.
Yeah there is a big difference between "ski resort" and "ski mtn" only about 1000 mtn users are aloud per day.......mostly locals also. 3 min away so no biggie to turn around and do something else. I worked in the industry for many years, always avoided weekends but that was at resorts.

cooper has great beginner and inter stuff that she and I can do together and then i drop off the back side for a few blks/double blks and then meet up with her again. she's not quite old enough to leave her alone too long yet.

That's awesome man! Our usual place has great beginner terrain. But it's one of those places that will have much, much more traffic. It definitely has 2nd homeowners and abb that isn't playing by the rules so I'm just not going to take the chance.
