Colorado skiing up 8.1 percent - '04-'05

How ya like dem apples?? I guess it's good for the industry?
I'd like to give a shout-out to Vail Resorts for putting out a cheap-ass 5 mountain pass that every joepub in the flatlands can afford.
This doesn't surprise me after some of the lift lines i've run into this season. Thank god my back-country season is right around the corner.
