The lift lines get busy on the weekends because of its popularity but mid-week skiing is almost like having the mountain to yourself.
The iconic lines of Palisades are what draw people in. And the recognizable charm of the apres ski scene at bars like Le Chamois and The Slot are what keep people around for a drink. Or a few.
There is no better mountain in California.
