Hi All!
Glad the board is back up, figured I'd stop lurking and actually chime in.
This past season was my first at the Face, and wish it was winter again!
The "Iceface" thing is lame, pretty much anywhere in the east gets icy, thats life. For what the Face offers, no lift lines or at least short ones, no long boring runouts etc.. and the fact thats its pretty close by my standards (4 hrs) I can't see why anyone would complain.
Went to Tremblant this year and yes it was icy, the lines were anywhere from 15 mins or more, and the vert dosn't even come close. My idea, go to a place like that, stand in line for half the day, pick your lines around the gapers and then at the end of the day take your pick where you would rather ride or ski... pretty easy decision.
All I can say is that I haven't found another mountain in the east that makes you feel like such an out of shape wimp by the end of the day... Holy crap!!!!
