Anybody been to Sunshine lately? Im heading there on Wednesday, curious how the crowds are this spring.... and what the conditions are like. Ive only ever skied Sunshine, this will be my first trip there on a board. Any suggestions for good beginner runs? I'll be taking a lesson and staying for a few days. Thanks!

Okay nobody answered me, but I'll tell you all anyway.... It was FANTASTIC!!!! We got to the mountain weds night and stayed on the hill. There was hardly a soul in sight and conditions were very slushy. Woke up this morning to a foot of fresh powder! There was still NOBODY there and we had first tracks all day on every run I hit. My favourite beginner run was Dell Valley,and snowsnake, off the strawberry chair. I took a lesson and cant believe how great it was and how much I learned. Sunshine is open till May 19th this year.

I have a video of me riding on Dell Valley, its nothing fancy, but Im proud because it is the first time I boarded in the mountains, and because I finally figured out how to link basic turns without falling! It wont upload though, keeps saying upload failed. Im working on it,

I was there last Tuesday and couldn't believe that the ski-out was open all the way to the parking lot. Great snow and zero line-ups. I'm going to try and catch the last day on Monday of the May long weekend.
