For the past few years I been working 9 to 5, so I can only ride nights and weekends. Nights are great I find, as long as its not too cold. Weekends can sometimes get ridiculous but mostly around like 2-4. Before and after that I find the park ok. The lifts aren't ever too bad, especially on the Avila side. Hopefully I can run into some NSer's this year. Nothing against skiing with my girlfriend, but she doesn't quite push me on the hill
