We've been doing an annual trip there in March. We've been moving it around because we did early March the first time and we timed it with some Canadian holiday. It was super packed on Sunday when we arrived but, was great the rest of the midweek days. Then we moved it to later March and early April but, this year it's mid March. And have been day tripping it earlier in the season when they start getting glades open before other mountains. I never had a bad day there unless you consider -53 windchill and two guys getting frostbite. The snow has always been great and lots of powder days. That cold day was a 10 inch powder day and windy. All the trails probably sucked cause the snow blew into the woods but, I never noticed cause I was in the woods the whole time.

Why should Mountain Creek do this? Our lifts are quite utilitarian compared to this one. No padding, no bubbles, no footrests, and one doesn't even have any seats. They are really just meant to get you from bottom to top quickly and nothing else.

Really Sno - do I have to explain it to you - and I thought you were smarted than the average gaper

Don't ski the trees, ski the spaces between the trees.
