Get the Purple Pass - it's free and never crowded. You can show up after work and still get fresh tracks. And the season lasts from October through July on an average year.

I went to Rose ~20 times last year and very few of those days were nice powder days. Could have just been bad timing on my part.
What's the purple pass? Boarding through the forrest?
