also a must is getting to the top of the mountain before the lifts close and stay up there till they kick you off and make you go down to the bottom. Laying in the snow on a mountain looking up at the starts = pretty fucking awesome.

IT WAS GREAT!!!

the monsoon season normally starts in july and ends in september.... so its not horribly long. and the rest of the year is pretty much always sunny.
