Mary Jane kicks the ass of everywhere (excluding Silverton & Wolf Creek). Here is why:
1) stated earlier: mad amounts of snow,
2) stated earlier: NOTHING in the world like Colorado champagne powder (you can pretend heavy, wet snow is just as good, but deep down inside, in places you don't talk about at parties, you know you are pretending)
3) copious quantity of tree runs
4) I once got fresh powder, on repeated runs, in the trees on December 26, until the chair closed.
and most importantly, setting it above anything in the PNW
5) you can afford a freakin pass!!!
6) they don't stick it to you on the terrible snow years. ps , the man says thank you for your money!
