I will be starting off my NH, ME, tour at Cannon on Thursday February 7th, does anyone else plan on being there on that day? It would be nice to have some company, and someone to show me around, never been to Cannon before.

Let me know Puck it, it's going to be one long ass day, I figure I'll be leaving Binghamton, NY around 3AM, skiing Cannon, driving to the Loaf from there...Yikes! Then Saddleback on Friday, and the AZ Summit over the weekend. I was wise enough to book my room for an extra night, Sunday, so I can get a good night's sleep before heading home. I pray for snow between now and then, come on Ullr, give it up!

It's a nice area, it ain't what it used to be however. It was a high tech hot spot when I was a kid, IBM started here, my Dad worked for Singer Link building flight simulators. Got the Susquehanna River behind my house, sometimes in my house lately! Nice parks, Ithaca is near by.

I am a NNY'er a la Canadian border. Love it up there but would not move back with the high taxes now. Bad enough here.

Will do. Does Scotty speak in "scotty"?
Scotty is awesome! Let me put it this way, there were no awkward silent stretches on the lift rides. His oral grammar is much better than his written grammar. We love you Scotty! We kid because we care. Glad your season wasn't cut short by that damn chair of mine you were struggling to sit on! Folding chair + ice = recipe for disaster.

It was a fun chair. No problems I understand totally, I probably talked to much. It was fun times.

You were fine Scotty, it was great to finally meet you, it's rare for me to meet someone who talks more than I do! I've been told I should be a salesman by a stranger on the lifts before, because I talk so much.

Suddenly there is a good chance that I'll be at Cannon 2/7. Buddy that I used to ski with a lot but who now only gets a few days a year happens to have the day off. Since I have to work the following weekend, it seems only proper that I take a weekday off and head up there right? Maybe see you all there.

It is a good chance that I will be there now.

Great, look forward to skiing with some more AZer's. I seriously considered canceling this trip due to the shitty weather of late, but I've got a shitload of vouchers to use up, gotta start burning them. Either of you going to the AZ Summit?
