Haffassa Tempts

DSR is close and easy to get to, the rates are low, and it doesn't get crowded. The best part is that I can wake up late, assess the weather and snow cover, then decide to run up from the valley and be on the slopes by 9am. An inexp3nsive season pass makes it worthwhile as you can get in a bunch of tune up days here between days at the bigger mountains.
