Icy, eh? Do you recall what trails or what lifts this was off of? My guess is 'twas prolly icy at other resorts at the time as well. When did you go... early season, middle, or late?
Considering that tomorrow is their last day w/ $30 lift tix (YES! Only $30!!!), you might wanna give 'em another shot. Plus, the round trip fr SF is a breeze!
One caveat: I peeped their snow report earlier & they had a few lifts ON HOLD due to high winds. I also just took a quick peek @Heavenly... same deal w/ winds.
Check all the weather forecasts in regards to wind before heading up no matter which spot you choose. But when winds are a factor, the best bet on your short list is Sierra. For the most part, it's very well wind protected.
Have fun. Tomorrow is supposed to be a "bluebird" repeat of Wed, just w/ the extra helping of pow fr yesterday & today. I'm gonna what til Tues to shred again, right after the next system dumps down Sun & Mon.

Yeah I saw the wind issues they were having, stopped alot of snow from getting to the ground. I went to Sugarbowl around Valentines Day.
Will keep an eye on the weather/road conditions, I can make my choice before I leave in the morning. Just gotta do an oil change and throw my oem wheels/tires back on 2nite after work.
