Details:

First trip to Northstar in almost 2 years.  Well, 1st thing first, the parking
by the village now costs $14 (did anyone say rip-off?).  Then, a buddy of mine
tried to rent his skis/boots/poles.  He got in line at 10am, and by 11am, had
only moved 40 feet, and was still far away from renting anything, so he gave
up and read a book instead of skiing.  So, heads up, if you or any of your
buddies need to rent equipment at Northstar, get there early or get in line
for ever.

Otherwise, the snow was awesome, and the lines were okay (none at Rendez Vous
as usual).
