I don't want to speak for Pat, but I believe given that Hunter is over three hours from him, and a place like Magic or Snow is closer, all things being equal, he's heading for VT.

The fact that Newcastle is so low is retarded. It probably has the highest average home price in the state and outside of the Wentworth Hotel and Country Club, there really isn't much there in terms of a business tax base. Very few kids though......not really much for schools either

Probably gonna pass on Hunter this year for the exact reasons Greg stated. But if there is another outing, you never know.

Check goes in the mail tomorrow for my ski club tickets. Should I get them all, which I believe I will with the new club purchasing format; this is how my season is looking to turn out

Definite:

Tenney (season pass)
Wildcat ( definitely 1 day there, probably more)
Mount Washington will see me at least once in the spring

Stowe - 1
Mad River Glen - 2
Pico - 2
Smuggler's Notch - 2
Burke - 1

The VT areas will be done in 4 weekend trips: Smuggs/Stowe, Smuggs/Burke, (2) MRG/Pico

Also will be getting a Ski and Ride New England Card. If it's like last year, that means 1 midweek Black ticket and (2) other NH areas, typically 1 larger area and 1 smaller area.

Possibly / Hopefully:

Sundown (1): January Bump Comp
Stowe (2): If they have a ski club appreciation weekend like years past in March and I'm able to make it up
Cannon: Superbowl Sunday deal
Sunday River / Sugarloaf (2): Warren Miller tickets and/or last day of the season free at Sunday River


Season Totals:

Minimum of 21 days out at 8 areas. A very solid season besting last years days out with the same amount of variety.

Maximum of 26-30 days at 14 different areas. An incredible season for me in terms of days out and variety.

BRING ON 08'-09'!!!!!

It was very gratifying filling out my deposit check for the club tickets today

Let me know when your Burke trip is scheduled, I'll show you around.

For me next year:

Definites-
Burke (season pass)
Jay

Possibles/want to do-
MRG (haven't been in a long time)
Sugarloaf
Saddleback
Wildcat
Cannon (last year was good )

I lived in CNY a long time ago and I learned to ski at Greek Peak. I remember the glade off of Chair 5 was a lot of fun.

For this upcoming season I have season passes for:

Cannon Mountain
Loon, Sunday River, and Sugarloaf pass
Wildcat
Attitash (weekdays)

I want to hit Pico in Vermont after a storm this season too.

Hopefully we'll head back out to Powder Mountain in Utah also!

[roark]

Grudgingly got a K blackout pass.

hopefully get a bunch of days in at Magic as well.
Race nights at Pat's.
A couple at Snow (early, maybe late season - sad to be saying this after getting a K pass).
MRG, Cannon at least once
Still have yet to get to Stowe & Sugarbush
got to make a trip to the River, didn't get to hang with that group much ths year.

How long ago??? I've been skiing there since 1970'ish--prolly been up the t-bar with ya.

Chair 5 glade is fun, but I've always liked Ronny's Run off Chair 2 and the woods between Zues and Trojan. Bad thing is they cut those "Trojan" woods into a trail and completely ruined some of the best terrain on the hill.
