Ya, we leave at 5:30 and sometimes ski till later than 4.
Basically our day looks like this if he doesn't ride the bus up.
Leave at 5:30, pick up whoever we pick up, get on the 6:30 ferry, 8 min ferry ride, 90min-2 hours to the mtn. ski from 9-4 or later. Stop at MxDeez on tha way up for mcskillet burrito and a sausage egg and cheese mcgriddle (best fast breakfast ever).
Unless it's pow day or something special, then we get on the 5:30 ferry, it was worth it this year to do this, rode chest deep pow, light as fuck, and super dank.
