Met up with a friend to ski at Liberty on Wednesday. We arrived at around 10 am and the line to get the lift tickets snaked around to the lodge! I have never seen Liberty this crowded before.

Although they didn't have my Advantage Card ready even though I purchased it online in early December, guest service provided me with a complimentary lift ticket for the inconvenience. I appreciate their gesture and hope that they'll have it ready by the time I ski next Saturday.

The weather was perfect; blue skies and the temps in the 40s. Even though it was crowded, the backside was bearable in terms of lift lines and the ski patrol was out in full force to make sure the merging areas were safe. I really appreciate Liberty's efforts in making sure everybody can enjoy their experience on the mountain.

I am looking forward to skiing more at Liberty since I signed up for their Adult Development program in January. Is anyone else doing this? Has anyone completed this program before?

Here's hoping the warm weather won't do too much damage to the snow on the mountains...
