dude they have something like around 5,000 acres open. Thats almost bigger than any other ski area in North America. Granted, they don't have a ton of snow still.
I'll probably head there is next weekend. 5 hours for me, too, but so worth it.
my sisters boyfriend just got back and he said that there was a ton more coverage than he was expecting. not enough that you don't have to download, but worth it.
