Is the first weekend typically busier than the second? (Pasayten)

Depends on the weather for me. Last year was about 50 rigs on Wednesday night. By Monday was down to a dozen or so. Weather was cloudy first couple days so I went home and came back Monday. Of course I'm always hoping for a light dusting of early snow the day before it opens. :drool:

Yes,  Opening weekend has the more serious guys that are packing in for a few days plus the trailhead hunters.  Not nearly as many guys in our area mid-week or the 2nd weekend.
Get off the trail into a remote basin and you are likely to be along even on opening weekend.
