I made it today, get ready to slalom traversing/sitting park rats and having to slam on the brakes every time you gain a little momentum..... Still worth it.

I hate you...

I have a dilemna myself, my friends are trying to hit up A-Basin on 12/14 but I have my company's x-mas party on the 15th here in NYC. I'm not sure what I should do here on this one... The only good thing my company does for us is the x-mas party and it usually comes with a significant amount of idiocy and fun stories so we'll see...

Early season riding at a lot of resorts can be frustrating. I have done it at A Basin, Killington, and some others. It always seems to end up a cluster f&%k of people on a ribbon of snow. Hopefully this will be different for you.

Best early season riding I have had was living in Utah for the 95-96 season. I rode lots of fresh at Alta and Solitude in October into November. A lot of this riding was very memorable because the resorts hadn't opened yet, so I could hike and ride all the powder I wanted....in October. Ahhh...the good old days.

You can still have a significant amount of idiocy and fun stories at A-Basin.....
