Copper Mountain seemed unprepared for the closing day crowd

In case you had any doubts, we clearly saw today that good snow brings out the skiers. Today was Copper Mountain's last public skiing day of the season. We arrived at Copper Mountain to find that the Alpine lot was full and Copper was parking arriving cars in the Far East lot.  Unfortunately, they apparently had not planned on needing it today as it was totally unplowed.  Thank goodness I chose to drive the Tahoe today and not the Prius.  Several folks discovered that their cars were too close to the ground to cope with 13 inches of fresh!  I also noticed that the restroom at the Timberline lift was out of toilet paper, water, and hand sanitizer.  Oh well, the snow was good skiing and made a good contribution to the snowpack!
