Nobody replied to this, but I'm partly serious...

I wish. I have a rehearsal dinner on Sat. at 2:30. I was thinking half-day but the wife needs to go for hair and nails.

Who the hell plans a wedding during ski season? I actually just went to a wedding this weekend. One of my concerns when I first heard about it was that it was during the start of ski season. It seems now though that early November is no longer part of lift-serviced skiing in the NE... :roll:

So...we really have some takers for a Belleayre thing?

re: Belleayre...I'm out.

Like Greg, I found myself quite grumpt today. ThHe gray sky, the "cool" temps, leaves off the trees....man, it felt like snow to me.

Looking at those other dates...I'm hard pressed to pick a good one. Visitors on Thanksgiving, Buisiness on Dec 8th (Wa Race League kick-off mtg on the night of the 7th).

Anything after that presses on holiday prep, family events etc. I rarely get on snow before Christmas for just such reasons.

I'll be looking for opportunities though. Something about a blind squirrel finding a nut?

Greg, valliant effort pal.

Thanks, Sky. If you asked me a week ago, I'd say we are golden. We had a group of 13 strong commited to heading up. I've been reeling since Friday, serously. I'll get over it, but man, am I disappointed...

That's exactly why I'm seriously considering Belleayre...just to say this whole situation didn't beat me...

What the hell's the matter with you? That's the silliest statement I ever read. Sure....easy for you to say - you earned some turns this weekend... ;)

Seriously though; my goal is 30+ days this season. With two little ones, I need to get them in when I plan them. I was hoping for 2 or maybe 3 days this month to help get me started. Based on my schedule right now - it looks like one, at best. Plus I just wanna ski!!!!

I'm out. I was pulling strings and tempting fate to take this Friday off in the first place so it's best that I just go to work and wait a little while longer...

Belleayre is out for me. I find it interesting that they are opening considering the weather. And am down to one car....
