FWIW this is the exact opposite of my experiences. I’ve been every Friday this season and the only negatives I can report are the lack of snow coverage (still the best in PA) and the crowds on weekends/holidays (duh)

Staff at the lost and found were very friendly when I lost my earbuds 3 weeks in a row, and when I rode down to the valley after leaving my season pass in my car at the summit they buzzed me back through the turnstiles no problem.

On second thought, don’t listen to me. I no remember things so good.
