Title says it all, the mid-mountain opens tomorrow. Yaaay! That means heaps more terrain, lots of fresh lines and good stuff.
The Getting Stoked crew checked out (read: ducked a rope) the mid-mountain runs and took Snow Rodeo down to mid-mountain lodge a couple of days ago, and coverage was rad until just near the bottom, where Paz and Stu took nasty spills on to hidden rock. Pain ensued.
If nothing else, it'll keep a lot of the glades up the top more fresh for longer, which = awesomeness, and means a whole new load of terrain to explore!
The downside? One less excuse to avoid riding Kill The Banker, the scariest-looking line going around (various cliffs near Vertigo and North Bowl excluded).
A quick google search for a pic of Kill The Banker with early season coverage came up with sweet FA, except this, from skiinet.com, which gives you some idea of what I'm talking about (though I have a sneaking suspicion this isn't actually the run):
