I rode at Diablo yesterday. It was damp but didn't rain at all. Super foggy, and really cool. Also, the water park was closed and there were less than 15 people riding. Was literally like having the whole mountain to yourself.
I have to agree though, that Platty is more fun in the wet than Diablo is. In the pouring rain there's still a ton of stuff that's fun to ride at platty, Diablo, not so much.
why the big hate on diablo? i know i've been out of DH for a couple years, did something happen there? ( don't mean to be poking a hornet's nest)
i grew up about 30mins from there. mountain creek is where i learned how to snowboard and had my 1st season pass there. i was there when diablo first opened, did some trail work there, and rode there most often before i graduated from school.
so i guess i have fond memories of the place still. platty was fun also, but more "raw". didn't like all the shale everywhere and the lifts were pretty slow, but that's knitpicking.
