With my new AT boots, I've found I can drive up the mountain pretty well, so I'll be booting up in the living room . I don't think crowds will be an issue mid-week. There are some weekdays I have the entire mountain to myself and about a couple dozen others.
That being said, you guys have got me nervous about buying my season pass. There's no incentive to buy it early (the White Mountain Super Pass), so maybe I shoudl do that now.
