Not there today myself but curious how bad lift lines were when Crystal's website says:
PARKING IS FULL, PLEASE JOIN US ANOTHER DAY!

Yes, lots of people today but the lift lines were shorter than tuesday mostly due to Rex only stopping every 15 minutes or so. That said, they were long enough to keep us searching 'round the mountain for the shortest line. Most excellent snow and views today. Shin to knee deep pow, 6 degrees cold, clear blue skies, and little wind. C6, Southback, Powderbowl/Bearpits, Frontside (early), had the goods. By day's end, perfect packed powder everywhere. Northway, broken yesterday, started late, broke for a while, but ran with no line noon and on. Gondola was restrung on the towers at mid-day and running later. Awesome day although low vert due to lines and some hiking. Will be great tomorrow as well.

Who are these people that arrive at 10, take lunch at 11, hit the base for a dump at 2? There were still people in the parking lot putting on boots at 2:15! Hint, lifts are opening at 8:30. Get some runs before the hoards arrive.

Don't think the hoards are looking at TAY for reports. Pretty much talking to the choir here. Bright and early tomorrow.
Since Crystal made The Seattle Times with the turning skiers away story, I'm hopin' things calm down a bit. Said they were giving free passe to those who had to turn around, however.

Green Valley Chair seemed to be the place to hang out. No lines , good snow, and laid back skiers. What's up with these guys who ride the tail of your skis in the lift line? I asked this guy three times to get off my skis. (Line up at REX). He made three smart ass remarks, so the 4th request, I told him "Please back up a foot, or I'm goiing to stick my foot somewhere". He finally figured out that riding on my skis was not a good idea. Maybe it's just me, but it really pisses me off. The guy was a total jerk.
Serves me right for coming up on the holiday. But, I couldn't resist the bluebird day.
