Mountain crew checklist

  • Check road conditions on TripCheck.com Thursday night. US-26 can require chains or traction tires; every car going up should carry chains.
  • Buy lift tickets online ahead of time. Window prices are usually higher and some days sell out.
  • Check the resort's parking rules before you go. Some lots need a permit or reservation on busy days.
  • Reserve rentals in advance if you don't own gear.
  • Pack a separate bag for the house so the board crew can go straight to the shower.
