Crowded slopes and lift lines got you down? We have just the thing to remedy your skiing claustrophobia: Night skiing! And we don't mean lift-serviced night skiing. We're talking about a good old-fashioned skin-up, ski-down workout … in the dark.
When I lived in Crested Butte, Colorado, I used to skin up the mountain all the time. It was a great workout, and when I didn't have a pass, I was able to get a run in for free. However, I never skinned up at night—always in the morning, or just after the lifts had come to a halt at 4pm.
