Lift skiing is fun. A lot of fun. I had a phenomenal, deep day today on the lifts, bombing down steep, loaded terrain. I repeat lift skiing is fun.
That said, who wants to be skiing the lifts in April? April is one of those months where you can't figure out what you want do because there are so many options. Steep corn skiing? Check. Long ski tours with easy travel? Check. Alpine climbing? Check. Sunny cragging? Check. Lift skiing falls by the wayside once the storms stop rolling in. But while it's storming, you can't beat a quiet day on the lifts!
