Crowded On Christmas?

[MattL_RG]

Hey fam, my brother and I were arguing about whether or not ski resorts are crowded on Christmas and Christmas Eve. Mind you, this isn't Vail we're talking about, I live in AZ and the resort in question is Arizona Snowbowl. It's not exactly a big ski market. But in general, what are your thoughts on skiing on Christmas Eve and Christmas day and what are the crowds like?

My home hill is closed on Christmas so...

I went up on christmas and nobody was there, and it was a POWDER day!!!!

 

[.squirrely.]

sounds like a heated debate topic

I went last year for Christmas, The mountain was basically empty with no lift lines. but on the 26th the hill starts to fill up!

 

[DR.SHRED]

ive found that skiing on xmas day is usually not crowded in the am then picks up a little more through out the day but never gets real busy. tahoe anyway

I've skied every year on christmas day since i was in like 4th grade. Family tradition to go to our little local hill. Place is dead regardless of fresh snow or not. Its nice we've always pretty much had it to ourselves.

Day after sucks Christmas day is awesome.

 

[SapperDaddy]

Its always empty on christmas. Sometimes its gets busy after like 2 or 3.

As long as it is not a major resort I think it will be fine to ski on.

 

[NMMedia]

I have found that even at the major resorts it isn't too crowded during christmas, they get super crowded shortly after christmas when everyone is actually willing to travel

 

[SkierX]

Christmas Day = Asians everywhere.

Seriously.

Not crowded at all though!

If you go a couple days before christmas and christmas day its usually not crowded at all, but after that like on the 26 it picks up because all the families go since everyone is on break

[Labattski]

Not exactly a racial comment more of a fact lol

 

[DaveJ]

im usually at Big White in Canada on christmas and the slopes are always pretty dead on chrismtas. people r busy hanging out with family.

 

[eheath]

What? where?

I've never heard of any resort ever being closed on a day. Skiing on christmas is the best, its always empty.

 

[milk_man]

The resort I go to isn't open on Christmas, but even if they were I don't think they'd be that busy.

The day after Christmas tends to be one of the busiest days of the year.

My hill in Minnesota is closed on Christmas too

 

[JAHpow]

Minnesota, it's a small hill. I won't be able to ski on Christmas anyway this year so it's not a big deal.

 

[JAHpow]

^Haha, the three above posts are all MN hills. Since the hills are so small and there wouldn't be many people out skiing anyway I don't think it would be, in a financial sense, beneficial to the resorts.
