Holiday Week Skiing Plans?

**Greg** · Dec 22, 2003, 9:50 AM

Anyone have any plans for skiing during the holiday week? 'm going to try and fend off the crowds and hit Butternut and Jiminy on the 29th and 30th. Hoping to also hit MRG on the 3rd.

I'll be at the Bush mostly working

But if things get too crazy and the opportunity arises I may goto MRG too. Expecting it to get real busy Friday-Sunday so going to MRG is probably a good plan. Not sure what day I'll get to use my tickets. I may try MRG tomorrow as I'm able to come to work late.

I will be spending Xmas week skiing Waterville Valley with my wife and friends. I am, however, taking off Saturday and Sunday (Dec 27th & 28th) for an overnight to Gray Knob.

I'm a great one for making big ski plans (in my mind, anyway), and then never following through. I would love to get out tomorrow night at Jiminy, but that depends on shopping, and other Holiday stuff. Other than that I tend to stay away from the areas during Holiday weeks.

Happy Holidays!

This weekend I'll be recovering ... right now I'm hacking, sneezing, coughing. Ugh.

But New Year's weekend I'll have my new bc touring skis so I'll be out practicing on them on the Wilderness Trail, up to Zealand Hut, Beaver Brook, maybe elsewhere. I can't wait!

I'm horrible for making long term plans. I always hate the idea of planning ruining something due to other factors like unaccounted for weather. Spur of the moment stuff is always more fun.

I remember a few years back, just for the hell of it I called up on a Thursday for a Fri-Sun booking at a Mt. Snow slopeside condo. I got a 6 bedroom slopeside with 2 jacuzzi's at discount because someone cancelled at the last moment. And this was during the Winter X-games! To say the least, it was a great time to have a huge condo and invite up a bunch of a friends for the weekend.

Looks like 12/30 at Wachusett and 1/2 at Sunapee with the family and some friends. Also just found out my company is taking us away for a weekend at Loon on 1/9-10. Will bring the camera and make reports after. Praying for snow till then.....

Will be spending most of my time working at our local, community hill. Hoping to hit some backcountry in the Dacks though. Nothing to get you in shape like earning your turns!

What's the deal with Haystack? Last I heard was that they only run on weekends now...
