Nope. Eatskisleep will probably only go up one day and I'll hike up both days. Probably only at Tucks one day though since I hate people.

I'm doing the ski leg of the Inferno on 4/19.

One question as I have yet to do it. Do folks think it is easier to skin up rather than hike up to Hojos. I'm usually with other hikers so i have never skinned it, but have skinned (on tele gear) several times. But this year I'm considering skiining, but need to save my legs for the "race".

I hear they're not too crazy about you either

Talking about doing Tux in three weeks and here I am in the worst shape of my life. Due to some bad circumstances, by wife getting hurt, new job, quitting smoking a couple of years ago, my weight has gone to a record high, 255! Yes, I'm a fat f&$%. So today I started prep work for Tux with a 4 mile walk this morning. Still have three weeks to get in shape!

I hear ya! Care to share what you're doing to whip yourself back into shape?

I'd love to do a trip like this in a couple of years. Definitely not ready this year.

Just got it a 4 mile walk this morning and intend to do the same every day for the next 3 weeks. May increase distance or try to do more hill work. I did a lot of hiking last fall so even if the weight is up, I don't think it'll take much more to get back to it.

Once Tux is out of the way, I may start biking in the morning before work. That's what I've been doing the last few years.
