The hill was unsurprisingly crowded, but I am happy to report 5 years after my last visit there, that Mountain Creek is doing a good job  of updating the resort with appropriate volume handling systems (high-speed gondola, new lodges under construction, etc.). At our  location (Northern-most of three bases) there were plenty of not-too-intimidating novice slopes. Further up on the slopes there was  barely any ice either considering the warm days prior ... and the 35 - 39 degree temperatures made for a very comfortable day's skiing  without biting winds or need for heavy layers of clothing. I was personally heartened to see so many of our brethren (and spouses) give  skiing their first ever try. Kudos! And judging from the follow-up questions (how to master turns; how long before one should attempt one  of the higher slopes), a good time was had by one and all. Vikas Tipnis 1974. 2005 Ski Trip The Date : Saturday, February 12, 2005 The Venue : Mountain Creek (please see their website http://www.mountaincreek.com ) Meet at Mountain Creek Group at 10 am.
