Hi all haven't posted in years.

Never done a weekend in NC, much less a holiday weekend. I've only done Cat and only during the week.

We arrive Sunday evening. How bad are lines typically on the Monday of Presidents Day? I'd skip it but weather will be iffy all week.

We're in town for six nights. Thanks.

Can't lie, the lines will suck, but if you can get there early, it will serve you well.

That's definitely something I liked about night skiing. Not much of a crowd and plenty of lighting.

Looked at the resortcams, and it looks like they're pretty busy, even in the late afternoons. President's Day weekend is usually the last hurrah for the North Carolina ski areas; after that it's mostly season pass holders trying to get their money's worth. They never buy anything, so it becomes cost prohibitive to even keep the areas open. Far as I remember, they don't even bother to make new snow.

Long range forecast does not look very good for any snow making and warm temps also. Heck, it's supposed to be in the mid 80's down here for a few days this week.
