I went a week ago Friday and asked one of the lifties at the gondola what time they were closing the parking lot. He told me that it's so inconsistent at the moment that they have stopped trying to predict. Some weekends it's 8:30 others it doesn't get full. Regardless, I usually aim to be in the parking lot somewhere around 7:15 to 7:30. The warming hut at the base opens at 8am so you can go in there and hang out until the lifts open.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
