Whatever you want!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just wanted to mention there is some good info and suggestions in this thread:

I used to ski Snow a lot back in the day, but that was as a beginner/intermediate at best. Looking forward to hitting everything on the North Face, lapping Bear Trap a few times, and even dabbling in some of the lower angle/less tight woods. I plan to be waiting in line for the summit quad before it opens and will ski as long as the legs allow. I'm even considering doing the backpack thing and have the lunch on board with me. I suspect it's going to be hard to stop skiing on Friday!

I think wed night should be ok.... The storm should be east of boston and that gives them a bit of time to plow the roads.

Hmmm...Okay. Gonna be rough in Mass and Vermont through tomorrow night. Drive carefully.

Don't know if your planning on it or not, but just to be safe:


If it's crappy weather, I suggest staying on 91 until you hit Rt. 9 in Vt. Don't head in from Greenfield in bad weather. It adds time to the drive and it's "white knuckle" to say the least.

Sounds like a good plan. I was considering the backpack thing too, but I didn't want everyone to make fun of me... ;)

F that noise. After skiing with a pack at the expansive Cat last Friday, I'll never go without one. Not just carrying layers, gaper mask, glove liners, and food, steadily drinking water made those longer days a little easier.

I think I'll be packing on Friday. I have a very small EMS backpack - almost bookbag level, :oops: but man I just want to lap that mountain on Friday...
