AZ Gathering for $17 Day at Mount Ellen: 3/17/11

[thetrailboss]

I'm likely to make it for the 17th and would be happy to be an auxiliary guide to Mt Ellen

That might be good because right now it looks like I might not now be able to make it That's life!

 

[WWF-VT]

I'll be there on March 17th. Per a previous trip report - billski can vouch for my credentials as a Sugarbush guide.

How has the recent weather event effected the 'Bush? Between the niar and the price of gas I'm beginning to have second thoughts. I've already put in for the days off from work though. Hoping to make the best of it...

P.S. This is a long haul for me, and it looks to be a solo trip, if anyone would care to split a room to keep costs down PM me

The snow is still there. It was very firm today, but that could change.

"Surprise" powder day at Mt Ellen today. 6+ inches of new snow has the mountain in great shape.

Out

I'm out on this one. Too many choices and I've got free lodging at jrskibum's house in New Hampshire ski country. Doing Wildcat Thursday for $17.00, Black on Friday with a freebie, and Attitash Saturday with a 2-fer he has. Hopefully things are still good in the MRV after the Loaf trip.......................

 

[thetrailboss]

If I make it I will not be there until the afternoon. It is my wife's match day and she wants me there for the big news.

 

[JimG.]

I will unfortunately have to bow out...I completely forgot that I have a bump clinic at Belleayre today and tomorrow. If I take any more time off work right now I'll be unemployed.

Work sucks, but I'm not too unhappy after my recent trips to Mt. Ellen the past few weeks.

Enjoy!

 

[WWF-VT]

I'll be arriving Wednesday night around 8 PM and plan to be on the mountain early on Thursday.

 

[gmcunni]

i can't swing the day off from work so i'll have to bow out also.

I'll also be in the area, may hit Mad River Glen that thurs and Sugarbush that Friday -- but could be tempted for two days of snowboarding

I'll be at Mt Ellen on Thurs, driving up a that morning though so most likely won't be there for first chair -- mid-day meetup? Also, planning to hit Castlerock on Friday -- how is coverage over there? (safe for spanking new board christening?)

 

[WWF-VT]

Who's planning to be there on Thursday ? So far looks like me, rocojerry and twinplanx are confirmed.

Fantastic day on the mountain today and it was great to ski / ride with rocojerry and twinplanx

 

[BushMogulMaster]

I was there - sorry I didn't meet up with anybody. Got off to a bit of a later start. But definitely one of the best days in recent memory!
