Patio Culture?

So it was a glorious day today on the hill and when it got a bit too sloppy around 2pm I decided to make it a bit too sloppy on the patio at the lodge. The local bump has a place nearby called Quayles Brewery and they have a lovely Moonstone Lager and Silver Lining black lager on tap at the hill. I go out pull some chairs around for the wife and kids and it was myself, my wife and two old ski folks having a pint on the patio. And there were probably only a dozen people on the patio. What's your experience? Is it just me feeling like the patio is over?

We have a nice stamped concrete patio at SkiTalk Central. Patios started getting less popular with the advent of decks but there is an old school feel of a nice patio.

Caribou deck was packed Friday at Tremblant. Heaters were going later.
At Tremblant, the Plaza St. Bernard has 4 large patio's attached to bars. Drinking alcohol not on those patios, is worthy of a nice little fine and lost of said beverage. Travel mugs are advised!

At Lake Louise Temple Lodge every Saturday in March and April, it’s been an absolute party on their patio. Lots of people dancing, playing volleyball or chilling in bean bag chairs with local DJs playing fantastic sets. Could hear the music from the top of Larch and Ptarmigan.
The main, front side patio playing internet radio the same day seemed boring in comparison.

49*North is putting the sun deck to its best use this spring. Last weekend was a big seafood boil, this weekend is BBQ, local beers, and music.
It is good to see traditions continue.

That's what I'm talking about! So it's just the lumps at my hill apparently..

My local hill added an outdoor heated grill and bar 4 years ago and another heated outside bar/grill in the tubing area.
When the sun is out, it is a great place to sit and watch.

Everyone having a great time and then Sunday at the same spot, no dj, no volleyball court and it’s a ghost town.

I hung out for a while on this patio at the Gathering last week...

I guess we know who no longer hears 'culture' and thinks "petri dish"
