@Cornhead Starting from NYC. What about you? Don't think I can officially take off on Monday, but I wouldn't be surprised if it turned into a "sick day". :eek:

Hi I am riding with Cornhead and one other. As of now our plan is to maybe meet where I live in south Sullivan County NY near Newburgh AMD probably Thursday before the summit and go some place on the way Thursday maybe Stowe, Friday Saddleback, Saturday and Sunday the summit then drive home. That the plan.

I am completely on board with @jenychen's NYS flag pin idea. Wear it strong.

I would suggest hit up a place in south NH on the way Friday. Then Monday maybe do south Vermont like Mountainsnow.

It will be a great summit but I will say SL needs natural badly right now....I skied there yesterday.....extremely cold and windy. First few runs in the AM off the SQ were really good. Kings was our first run and best of the day....hayburner also decent. Every run thereafter got progressively worse however....narrow gauge headwall was a dangerous sheet of blue ice. The wind was pretty vicious and blowing snow off the trails. They did have skidder lit up top to bottom and was open but didn't try it....probably should of. Bullwinkles was slammed at 1030 when we went to warm up.....run down to skyline and a couple runs there.....whiffletree got shut down along with king pine, and skyline,due to wind. This resulted in massive lines at the SQ so we did a t bar run and called it a day before hitting the widowmaker for lunch
I was luckily skiing on a discounted Boyne gold pass friends $50 voucher but it was a tough day both conditions and weather wise

Sounds like a rough day X. I know what ice the winds whipping around SL can produce. The next 3 weeks, according to Weather.com for Kingfield look really, really Good!...no melt & freeze. Better than the last month...fwiw. Should give them time to keep at snowmaking/grooming...at least some of KingPine and Timberline were open...y/n?

Skiing first tracks on Monday before the return trek to NY = done and done. Ideal gnar shredding conditions.

I did the the 6 1/2 drive home from the loaf after skiing all day and had a serious motor neuron shutdown.
my partners had to peel my hands off the steering wheel as I was doing 15 mph on the highway.

I now stay over and leave in morning. guess I'm getting old.
