Story:
22 runs before break...with 15 more later. It got a little repetitive, but I'd prefer to ski the same trails all day than to go to work! The black diamonds here are not as tough as some other places around. No crowds due to weekday skiing. Rental equipment was good quality.

Tips:
We had not been here in awhile so when we searched the web site we were reminded of 3 peaks. South peak doesn't open until noon. Furthermore the old lift called "Soujurn" is closed. The trail map shows a new trail yo ski back as "New 2011", but its not open yet. So, in order to get back from South you need to take a bus. That sounded lame. Then we heard it was snowboard heaven so, we skipped. At the end of the day we got a better scoop that it is good for skiing, but we still had the bus factor.
Anyway, we'll come back in a year when they open the "ski back" option. They're on to something by building that trail, but the false advertising pissed us off.
Another disappointment was that the Pipeline trail off the top of Granite was closed. Looked like there was an icy section, but lots of it looked good.
