Seriously, we’d be SWARMING those slopes during ski season

Ski sloped in the Northeast are always swarmed. Always.

The difference between lift lines for a ski lift in the Northeast after freezing rain is like 5x longer than lines for a ski lift in Breckenridge on a powder day.

The secret is first chair. Get out there as soon as the lifts open, and you get an hour or two of untouched corduroy and almost no one around. Yeah you have to drag your ass out of bed, but it’s totally worth it.

Ahhh… corduroy. Born and raised MA, live out in the Rockies now and this made me think of all those mornings growing up when my dad would get us in the car at 4am to make first chair up at wild cat. Stay safe folks & please wear a helmet!
