Hunter 'Manic Monday' - 2/27/2006

Greg · Feb 14, 2006

So far JimG. and I are in here. Waiting on Brian to see if he's able to make it. I likely won't be there before 10 am, but will ski till around 3 pm. Hunter's a kick ass hill and will be even better on a nice quiet Monday. Who else is in?

bvibert · Feb 14, 2006

I'm pretty sure that I can make it too...

dmc · Feb 15, 2006

I whish I could hook up with you guys...
But right now it looks like I'll be in Florida on business that day...

Greg · Feb 15, 2006

Bummer D. I was really hoping you could make it out with us... Oh well...next time.

2knees · Feb 16, 2006

thanks for mentioning this to me yesterday. I cleared it at work, but now i need to clear with the big boss (wife) at home. should be able to swing it though.

Greg · Feb 16, 2006

Nice. That makes four. Who else?

YardSaleDad · Feb 16, 2006

I think I should be able to make that day.

JimG. · Feb 17, 2006

It's becoming a party!

Greg · Feb 21, 2006

I'm still in. YSD and 2knees also confirmed. Brian looks possible. WE should set up a meet place/time. Jim - I think there's a large trail map sign at the summit. That's a good spot, right? How's 10:30 or 11 am there?

Others are welcome to join us!

The trail map at the top of the summit HSQ is a good place. 10:30 or 11am works for me, I'll be on snow starting at about 9:00am.

Let me know.

Greg · Feb 21, 2006

I have to drop my daughter off at pre-school in the morning and if Brian goes I will likely head back up to Torrington to pick him up. I think I'm going to try taking Route 23 past Catamount and over to the Catskills. I'm guessing we'll be there by 10 am. How about we aim for an 11 am meet-up? Work for everybody?

Who else is in?

2knees · Feb 21, 2006

11:00 big trail map top of summit quad. Got it. anyone know if it would be easier, coming from hartford, to take 91 to mass pike or 84 to 87? website says 3 hours going 84 to 87. I cant believe it would actually take that long.

If you're north of hartford, the Mass Pike seems like a better route:
http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=hartford&daddr=42.2042,-74.2104(Hunter+Mountain)

From Hartford via 84 to 87? Traffic in Waterbury. Traffic in Danbury. Yeah 3 hours seems about right if you drive the speed limit.

JimG. · Feb 21, 2006

OK.

Just an FYI about directions, if you go rt 90 to 87 you'll have to travel back south on 87 back to Hunter.

So it depends on if you're north of Hartford anyway. If not or south, 84 to 87 is probably a better bet.

bvibert · Feb 21, 2006

I'm in as long as my boss ok's the time off. I'm going to wait a day or two to ask him since I just got back from having 4 days off...

Catul · Feb 22, 2006

I'm going to try and join you guys, I'd love to finally meet some of you! Not sure yet if I can take the day off, chances look good though.

I'll plan to leave around 6:45 a.m., from Avon it looks like my NAV will take me on Rt-44 west to Rt-7 to Rt-23, should be around 2:15 or so of driving time.

Wish my new Volkl S5 skis would come in so I could try them out on a big mountain!

Nice! I'm getting really psyched here!

Greg · Feb 22, 2006

Oh. And by the way. This forecast can't be a bad thing:

Monday looks COLD though!

Catul · Feb 22, 2006

Very nice forecast, let's hope some of those "Chance of Snow" turn into a good-sized dump of half a foot or more!

A high of 17F on Monday is fine, as long as it isn't windy

dmc · Feb 23, 2006

My business trip was cancelled... See y'all at the summit map at 11:00 on Monday...
I can stay out for a couple of hours...
