3/19/04 - Skiing - Berkshire East

ChileMass · Mar 18, 2004, 9:11 AM

Greg - plan on seeing Rob and me around 830 as well. It's about 1 3/4 hrs from home (100 mi) and I will be in touch via cell. Plan on meeting at the ticket office, I guess? I've never been there, so any suggestion for an obvious place to meet will work for me. I will be the sorta roundish guy in black bibs in a blue Columbia coat and blue hat with 201-cm Rossignols....

There's a pic of Rob and me having a beer at Sunapee in the trip report archives. For some reason, I can't figure out how to cut and paste it into this reply....

Hope you guys had fun. I know you did. I have taken alot of time off of work lately (not for skiing) and next week the hubby, my sister and I are going to be at Sugarloaf for the whole week.

Anyone going up?

Ahh....this must be you then? Hope I don't trip over those Rossi's when I board the lift with you!

(Kidding. I used to ski 205s cm...).

Again, it's been a while since I've been there, but lets meet near the summit triple:

The lodge is right near it so we can get lift tickets after meeting up:

Both those pics are looking at the triple and lodge from the mountain. Should be a fun day!

We haven't gone yet! This is tomorrow. Anyone else interested in joining us?

ChileMass · Mar 18, 2004, 10:21 AM

Yeah - that would be me - blue coat, blue hat, Scott goggles......

OK - we can get the tix after meeting up - see you at the triple. (It helps to read your note fully before responding, huh?).....

From today's Beast report, the double and triple are running. They are located next to each other to the left of the lodge. They open at 9am according to the site. I assume that would apply for Friday as well. It will be easy to meet up. I will not be there until 10am. Most likely I will be there earlier but will say 10am just in case. Take some runs, do not wait for me.

I will be the easiest to spot, I have Salomon Snowblades (red, white and blue), black ski pants, black hat and a gray ski jacket.

Yeah, I'll pick them up ahead of time. For anyone else interested I have two extra comp passes.
