We (my family) skied Silverfir Today and give a two thumbs up to the Summit. We had a great time with the kids and the new chair was a vast improvement over the old chair. True some of the fresh turns along the edge have probably been used up sooner however the chair never broke down all day long! The lines and crowds were longer at Central Express all day. Nice upgrade to the Summit. And where else can you ski up to your car? The snow was good Today. For me the bad news is good news.
