We should be able to spot you, will you be in your mogul or wind pants?

Anyone know if they have the beginner bumps set up on Ex?
I can do 11. Don't mind an extra hour of sleep if that works better for everyone. Does the place get packed if you aren't there early? 11am at Wachusett and you're getting bussed in!
rarely is there a liftline of any consequence. few minutes is usually the longest. the lodge, that is another story. Waaaaaay too many people sitting in there with laptops and Ipads, not skiing, and taking up entire tables.

Maybe Sev can put Reserved signs on the tables when she leaves work Saturday night.....

That is extremely rude, uncivil behavior.
When I left last night the course was still setup on Ex, below Stinger. Not sure what the plans are...

Do you think they will just move them to the other side of the trail? Why let them go to waste.
Absolutely.
11:00 is probably more realistic for my crew as well... lodge is a nightmare at 11:00 as noted, parking can be iffy too....at that hour you might be on the back of a truck from the satelite lot... or, as many leave about 11:00 after morning runs, might be able to snag a spot up closer...
. I know you love the sundown threads but when you are at an area with kids they need breaks. And they don't, or mine don't, like to eat outside in the cold. It honestly gets annoying seeing people in their north face fleece and uggs boots with their bags covering an entire table while you struggle around looking for a place where your kid can sit and eat the meal we bought from the mountain as they sip their Starbucks latte and eat from a cooler

I hear that.
I stopped buying food when I was unable to sit and eat in the scenario you describe.
Have a great time. Bring some Red Stag. I just tried it the other weekend and think it is worth picking up a bottle. Have the kids drive. They are never too young.:uzi:
Doing the racing thing? You gonna be around Saturday too?
Yeah, it can be a bit busy by 11am on the weekend. But even Sundown busy isn't that busy compared to some bigger places.
The kids (and I) are really working forward to this!

So what you're saying is, "Carrie, stay home. You're only adding to the problem."
Parents who can't ski have to be somewhere accessible to the kids. That said, when I tried to play lodge mom this past Sunday, I stepped away for 5 minutes to get the kids set up and found my jacket & basket removed from the table and left in a heap on the floor. Guess you have to be more aggressive if you need a table.
It was pretty busy at that point. My plan is to try to get there earlier, if possible. I don't see any way I can reserve a table, though I will ask, just in case.
Just have them set aside the luxury box for us!
