Crowded slopes

If you've been noticing the slopes are a bit more crowded this year, you're not alone. In fact, you're not anywhere close to alone.

The lastest numbers just came up from Colorado Ski Country USA. Here's what they said: In total, Colorado resorts hosted more than 5.2 million skiers and snowboarders from Jan. 1, through Feb. 28, 2006, an increase of more than 5 percent, over the same time period last season and more than 230,000 visits ahead of its previous best period (during the 2003-04 winter season).
