Thanks, bvibert, for remembering me. I know it's hard to keep everyone straight who chimes in on these boards from time to time.

I'll definitely be there.

It seems like Burke has broken out into its own thread. How about Loon, Sunday River, Cannon, Killington?

Hunter has been a good option for gatherings, as is Jiminy. The weekly Sundown Wednesday night meet-up looks to be taking shape. Would love to do an opening day at Killington this year; last year's pseudo-opening and then actual opening weren't in the cards for me. I had set aside their proposed opening, but they missed it due to the crappy weather. Berkshire East should also be a consideration if we get good snow. Beast is a great option for those in Eastern Mass and CT. I know of a few Catamount pass holders here; maybe we can hit up there too.

I could go for either a Sunday River or Wildcat outing. Never been to Wildcat (!!) and only once to SR since I was a kid. Anyone else? Buehler - ?

I'm guessing that AZ outings are on weekdays. With the new position I'm starting in a month or so I will have a ton of flexibility in my schedule. I've also reserved a number of vacation days for midweek day trips. My company revised our vacation policy and I now get an extra 8 vacation/sick days compared to last year. It pays to have been with a company for 7+ years.

I'm most interested in gatherings in Mass, Southern VT, and Hunter. Jiminy and Beast would be great. I'm a pass holder at Catamount so just name the day and I'm there.

Not necessarily. One of the biggest AZ outings last season was on a weekend at Cannon. Although I wasn't there, I understand it was well attended and a good time was had by all.

I think some poeple prefer weekdays but not always. I personally am more likely to make a weekend outing. On occasion I can make a weekday outing but prefer weekends.

Correct. Most of the "official" gatherings have happened on the weekends. Many like Saturdays, but Saturdays are not normally good for me (other family stuff). Weekdays or Sunday skier here.
