We went this past Friday, the 30th. Granted we arrived a bit later than I had wished for, but everyone else I chatted with said the same things: super bad traffic getting to the parking lot; really long wait for tickets, and the shuttle. Without a trail map, you're lost, as from the main lodge, there is no big mounted trail map as a stand-alone-sign, such as I've seen at Mt Snow and other ski areas that make finding your way paramount. Once we finally got to ski, things were better, but: on the beginner's quad, they don't require you to buddy up, so essentially, 2 riders can occupy a single chair, which leads to more lengthy lines. Another observation: when I returned my friend's rentals, we went down metal stairs. Anyone that has tried skiing before knows how awkward it is to walk in heavy boots, while carrying skis and poles. If they had a flat, single floor arrangement, this would be markedly better and safe particularly for first time skiers. Final point, when the shuttle dropped us off to the lot, it was quite dark, but worse, it was icy; my son fell as he exited the bus, requiring a check-in with the ski patrol/first aid. Hes' fine, but I'm thinking some road salt or sand where the shuttle picks up and drops off is not a bad idea....
