When the snow from tomorrow's storm is all tracked out at other resorts, I imagine it should still be nice and fresh at Burke?

Any chance of you skiing it on Monday?

Sunday mornings I play hockey from 7:00 to 8. I will likely be to the mtn by 10. I haven't determined my exact schedule for the weekend (I'll definitely be there Saturday). I may ski a bit on Monday as well but probably not all day (unless I am STILL skiing knee deep Pow 
).
).

Additionally, I may do some BC skiing up around the Lake Willougby area this weekend as well which would most likely occur on Monday.

Hmmm.... Keep me updated on this. Sounds like fun. Especially if there is 2 ft. of untracked powder.

I'm out. When there is going to be epic skiing everywhere I can't push myself to drive an extra hour or so. I might be up at Burke later in the week though.
Have fun fighting with the crowds. You should hook up with us at some point though...it is worth the drive and much easier to get to than Wildcat or Jay.

I will. :razz:
I really hope I don't have to fight with crowds on Cardigan.
Yeah, I'll try to. I will be able to ski monday, tuesday, thursday, and sunday over vacation. For the rest of the season I will be able to make it tuesday, thursday, or sunday.
Easier than Jay, yes. But when I go to Jay I can usually hitch a ride with Steve, which makes the drive not too bad since I only have to drive to St. J.
Easier than Wildcat, no. Route 16 may suck, but I can get to Wildcat in 2:40, since Cannon is 2:15 for me I don't think there is anyway I can get to Burke in under 3 hours.

My schedule is shaping up like this...
Thursday: Dawn patrol - morning 5:45 AM to 7:30 AM
Saturday: Burke 8:00 to close
Sunday: Still questionable as to when if I'll get out (have to spend some time witht e fiance this weeknd
).
Monday: May start at Burke in the morning for a few lift served warm-up runs and then head for the Back Country up near Lake Willoughby (definite now). I may make an entire day out of the back country and do serveral laps depending on conditions at Burke. There will likely be 3-4 (or more) feet :-o of untouched pow up there that has been accumulating 3-5 inches at at time during our cold stretch. Add on a couple-3 feet today and Huala! heaven.

Just found this thread. Been planning a trip to Burke and it's finally happening this Saturday. It's great that AZers will be meeting up and would love to join you. Problem is I'm driving up from Boston and doubt if I can make the 10 am meeting. Where can I meet you folks at noon? If it's too much of a hassle, no worries. Can't wait to finally experience the place everyone around here raves about.
And by the way.....if you are not sure about coming or not, I have at least 24 reasons WHY you should come... and that is as of 4:45pm. :wink:

That's 24 reasons why I'm probably going to wake up at 4 am on Saturday to drive up to the NEK! All this thinking snow is finally paying off.
trailboss, sent you a PM.
