I'm trying to find a way to swing it! I hope that I am able to make it, I'd really like to meet and ski with some of the people from this site.

Well that stinks that more people can't make it... So much for the group rate

I was all ready to go--had my reservations and everything and found out my grandmother isn't going very well. She's been fighting cancer for the last 2 years and it's starting to get the best of her. I can't get down there (NC) this weekend so we have to go down next weekend. Unfortunately, this means no Jiminy Peak trip. I've been looking forward to it because my son (he's 2) was staying with my wife's parents. She doesn't get to ski as much and I miss skiing with her.

I want to get my son down so my grandmother can see him at least once more. It would make her happy. I'm sure she wants to see me again as well. I just don't do well in situations like that so I'll be very uncomfortable.

I was also looking forward to checking out the resort. I've heard good things about it and it's closer than I thought (to me).

This has been the story of my ski season. Whether it's been the weather or family things to take care of I've not been able to ski nearly as much as I usually do. I'm bummed for more than one reason.

Anyway, looks like I have to cancel my trip up there.

I may be headed up to Sugarbush the weekend of the 26th with a couple of friends. If anyone around here will be there let me know. We're gonna be into having a good time. I'll need it!

Sorry to hear about your grandmother, GadgetRick. Family comes first.

A couple of us have been communicating offline and we decided to bump up this "gathering" to Sunday, 2/20/05 and the new venue will be Berkshire East to better accomodate those coming from the Boston area. Those attending so far include me, bvibert, ChileMass, thetrailboss and riverc0il.

To reiterate: the Jiminy Gathering on 2/20/05 has been cancelled, but all are welcome to join us at Berkshire East on Sunday.

I'm sorry to miss this--at one of my favorite areas, but I made a committment to ski Crotched with friends who have free passes there. Something about her being a teacher. You guys have a great time at The Beast!
