Last year's opening day was during the weekend and got fairly crowded towards 11 AM or so. Get there early and speed through as many laps as possible before the line builds and then just hike their early season park if that's your gig. I am thinking a may be SLIGHTLY less crowded tomorrow but considering it is still a Friday, the line for the Black Mountain Express will get heavy!

None of that matters though, just enjoy standing on snow and skis and have fun! Woot!

the crowds are half the fun!

Know this- the park will be too crowded to actually try to ski, and the line will be so long you could hike up the mountain faster than waiting in line and riding the lift


and that's the glory of opening day/opening weekend....can't wait
