Those guys rock. I saw them at Higher Ground (when it was still in Winooski) 7 or 8 years ago.

Too bad you're hitting SR tomorrow instead of Saddleback. We could have carpooled

Just picked up my two pairs of skis from their tuning appointment. Now I'm all set to lay down some edges.
Things to do yet:
Pack ski gear (coat, pants, googles, Helmet, gloves)
Pack clothes (or maybe I'll just wear the same stuff all weekend...)
Pack toothbrush
Pack Sunglasses!
Buy some beer. Any liquer requests?
Bring University of Northern Iowa gear, who wants to watch them tomorrow night with me (and no I'm not an instant bandwagon march Madness fan. I actually went to College there in case anyone is wondering why I have their "gear")

Yeah, my SO and I are SR bound first.
We may also go to the Rustic Overtones show.

Holy smokes! I was just mapping out the drive and I never realized how "close" (relatively) the Loaf is from where I live. Saddleback is 3:45 and the Loaf is 3:50 (and via a road without frost heaves!). Loaf is one hour from Saddleback so I figured Loaf was a longer haul but Route 2 through Farmington is essentially the same time even though it is over 30 miles (nearly 20% more) further than Saddleback. Damn it, I had no idea Loaf was in day trip range from here! Not that I consider anything over 3 hours day trip range but I do try to day trip Saddleback once a season.

Hey, is any one else excited about the Loaf this weekend? 
Last time I was there was literally just over half a life time ago. I was not even in high school yet, I don't think. So many good memories....
It could be boiler plate up there all weekend and I wouldn't care...
And like I was telling my co-workers today... since I only day drip and never stay over night to ski... worst case is I get to hang with a bunch of great guys and belly up to the bar and drink all day and night. Never get to do that as a day tripper!

Haven't been here in 5 years. I forgot just how massive this hill is.

I'll be working the king pine chair this weekend.. see you guys up there! Saturday looks cold, but with light winds and sunshine. Try to avoid the SQ mid-morning if you want to avoid the crowds. King Pine gets the sun first thing in the AM, and Timberline gets the afternoon rays. Groomers should be in good shape. looks like possible snow monday?!

Skis are tuned, bags are packed. Ready for some hard and fast groomers.
