You KNOW that the 30 supposed trails actually = about 8 to 10 top to bottom runs with connector trails in between. You know... top, middle, bottom and access trail segments.

Yes it can suck, but its sliding none the less, and with my pass, its free.
So, im up there.
But yes, its bullsh*t, I hate that they count the little connectors, bends, dips, and whatever so they have a higher count.
Mt.Snow did that, their original opening weekend six trails were really 2 !

Gotta appease the wife and return to NYC for some Christmassy-touristy stuff this weekend . . . argh. So I'm gonna blow off work and head up Friday, and hopefully poach the shyte out of them trails they're beefin' up for this weekend! 
edited to add: I have never had any complaints about K-Mart. During lean periods, they consistently blow more snow than any place I've ever seen, and when the place is fully open, there are just so many places to go to avoid the crowds. To each his own, I guess.

My buddy and I are planning to be up there. Still need to get a hold of an old friend to see if we can crash at his Cabin he rents every year.
