Wachusett Meeting: Thursday Night, November 29, 2007

[Zand]

We discussed this a bit in the Wa thread. The current forecast is a 30% chance of light rain showers (possible mix) with temps around 40. I'd bet that any precip that might fall will be over by the time the night session rolls around.

My idea for meeting spot and time: the stairs in front of the Polar Express at 5:30 and a second meeting at 7. Let me know if this time is inconvienent for you.

Planned Attendees:

1. Zand
2. Wa-loaf
3. WJenness
4. Marc
5. Austin
6. Greg!?

 

[wa-loaf]

Sounds good, but I won't be able to meet until 6:30.

 

[Zand]

I posted a second meeting time... then we can cater to the early arrivals and later arrivals haha.

 

[WJenness]

Going to do my best to get up there Thursday night... If I do, I'll get there around 5 or so.

[Marc]

I'm there, and I'm fairly certain Austin will be too. I can swing the 5:30 time. Don't know about Mr. Powers. With one trail open, I think it will be pretty easy to find people.

 

[awf170]

I can most likely do 5:30. If not, I'm pretty easy to spot.

 

[Greg]

Is it totally insane that this sounds enticing to me? What's open?

The two "challenging" trails open will probably be Conifer and 10th mountain. Odds are they will not have the bumps set up yet. :-D

Do it! Do it! Sunday was actually pretty fun. They will be able to make snow again tonight and tomorrow night so it should be alright. They even have a black diamond open! :-o

Conifer and 10th are open. Not bad runs actually. It should be pretty dead too, so you'll be able to rip edge to edge GS turns to your hearts content. :wink::razz:

 

[wa-loaf]

Yea, leave the Cabrawlers home if you come out. :razz:

Seriously, great to have you if you can make it.

 

[Zand]

No bumps Greg, but there should be some loose stuff on the side of both trails if they make some snow. Either way, it will be good cruising with no crowds.

Greeeaat... sounds nifty.

I'm actually dying to try the new boards which is making me antsy. I might just do the mighty Mohawk on Friday instead, but if it looks like they might not open, maybe....

 

[Zand]

This is pretty exciting... the potential exists for a Wachusett video in November. haha

Austin and I will take some video. Of course, it won't have Greg's snazzy editing and soundtrack, unfortunately.

And thus we encounter that STUPID "I don't want you skiing alone...WHAT, NIGHT SKIING ALONE? BLAH-BLAH-BLAH-BLAH-BLAH" crap.

That is to say, don't think I will be in attendance. Gonna try for Sundown on Friday though.

 

[Mark_151]

I'm going to try to make this. Look for either the 4th season telemarker trying to get his legs back, or the guy who looks like he's used to driving a standard shift car getting in an automatic for the first time if I decide to bring the fixed heel gear.

I have some chloroform if you want to borrow some? Don't ask what I have it for...

You should get him to come. I could probably compare and contrast knee pain notes with him.

Well, either way it sounds like some entertainment for the rest of us! :dunce:

Just remember, brake != clutch. I made that mistake the last time I drove my mother's car. I only made it once.

Both ideas sound good at this point. I'll talk to him about it but don't know if Thursday's doable. Have a presentation in the afternoon, but if that ends soon enough we might be able to get out there at a decent time.

 

[Greg]

Just an FYI - they probably won't be open this Friday...
