Well, for the first day of the season (for me at least), it turned out to be
okay.  It was disappointing to see that Heavenly put Sky Express on "wind
hold," although it looked like it was more a problem of thin coverage, at
least from what I could see.  Anyway, 5 lifts and the tram were operational,
which gave you access to basically two greens and one intermediate.  Obviously
it would be a little crowded, but many beginners crowded up the intermediate
run.  (I guess they don't understand the "Advanced skiers only" sign)  Lots of
people (skiers and snowboarders) blocked the lift drop-off ramps, and the
Heavenly staff said nothing; very unlike any resort.  Hoping for more snow!
