MLK weekend could be an absolute trainwreck of awfulness. Big crowds, icy conditions, and severe cold. Oh well, at least I love being in Lake Placid no matter the excuse. Might make that one XC ski day look better and better (assuming the SC trails still have snow!).

That's the problem, given the recent thaw. At least the mountains will make use of the cold temperature to make as much snow as possible. XC trails will be super icy.

The good news is, Lake Placid is a lovely place. So you will enjoy it regardless.

I never find MLK weekend all that crowded. It's the least crowded of the 3 big holiday weekends. Though to be fair, a lot of years, MLK weekend has one kind of snow issue or another...

Hopefully this weekend and presidents weekend will be the only 2 weekends I miss between now and April.

will be up at the face sat-mon, pm me if you want to meet up for a few turns

Was planning on Magic and MRG but I will hold off and save the money until later in the year and hope conditions improve. Maybe a day trip to Crotched and then a bus trip to Killington on Wednesday.

Unfortunately for me no, Neither my wife or I have Monday off. The only people I know with Monday off either work for the state, school or a bank.

Mount Snow for me on Sat and Sun and then up to Stratton on Monday for my daughter's U-10 GS race.

Still trying to see if there's realistically a way that I can ski for an hour or 2 on Sunday, head down to Gillette Stadium for the Pats-Ravens AFC Champtionship game, then back up to VT by say 1:30/2AMish and then have my daughter at Stratton for 8 and then later on Monday make the drive back home to CT AND NOT FALL ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL!!!

Pass. Save my money for when condition will be more enjoyable.

And, catch up on chores too.

Having friends up to the house this weekend so we will be skiing/riding at Gunstock. I am looking to get 4 days out of this long weekend. I'll be happy with 3. Forecast calls for some midweek snow down South.

You can do it Doc! Every other week I work on Saturday night and hit the road for Magic after midnight and arrive close to 4:00 and then still hit the slopes by 9:00. Where there's passion there's a way:beer:

I know that I[/i] can do it, it's just convincing my wife that after a few hours of tailgating :beer: that the probably leaving Foxboro around 10:30/11 return trip to VT won't have her up worrying too much I figure that I'd need to leave out the race wax that I'd want for my daughter's skis before I headed down to Foxboro, since 2AM wax selection likely wouldn't be a good idea! :lol:

If I really play my cards right the next few days, I might just end up getting the new, bigger TV that i've been wanting to get for my place in VT to watch the game on :lol:

The skiing passion has never been in doubt! The football passion is what's driving this as realistically as a Patriots fan, I'm just not sure how many HOME AFC Championship games #12 has left in his career! But at the same time, the "Dad of a ski racer" passion is a bit stronger! If only the NFL had made the AFC game the early game on Sunday.....
