Cannon outing Feb 11th (Northern Outing)

[riverc0il]

andy, parkers is closet and cheapest as far as i know. thayers inn in Littleton is EXCELLENT (http://www.thayersinn.com) and i think better rates than you quoted above but i don't know if they have package deals with tickets, that might make the deal you found better. i think thayers is a great inn to experience personally and that coming from someone that rarely stays overnight any where.

hey, is there post game in the peabody station for brews after skiing? that means you guys gotta start at the peabody slopes for the apres. i could drive down for some suds if you guys are gonna post game. keep me posted, i don't want to drive down if no one is going to stick around for a few drinks.

Well, price wise I guess there's not much difference:

Hampton Inn:

149 for 1 night and 2 lift ix to Cannon

Parkers:

69 for 1 night, lift tix at Cannon with Season Pass from Killington 44 a piece, total 157

Thayers Inn"

69.95 for 1 night, tix at Cannon 44 each, total 157.95

Guess it just comes down to what is closer and better. I've stayed at Hampton Inn in other locations and liked it.

BobR recommends Parkers.

riverc0il recommends Thayer and looking at their site it looks nice. I don't think I can loose with any of these. Thanks for the suggestions guys!

I already told them in work that I will be taking 2/9 and 2/10 off, so it's Killington on the 9th and 10th, Cannon on the 11th and back to Killington on the 12th. Going to training in NYC the 13-15, so that means no work for a week, life is good

Now we just need to do the snow dance!

One of the reasons I like AZ...I did a little research this past weekend and came up with Parker's, Thayer's and the Hampton Inn. Since I've never been in that area, I needed some feedback on these places. Where else but here at AZ can I sign on and watch as you all do my work for me! Wow, Andyzee even made up a cost comparison sheet!

Just made reservations for Parker's 2/9-2/12.

Pending weather, it looks like I'll be there with a friend or two...

Yes, it did not escape me. My Utah trip this season is going to be a sudden departure type of deal. Someone's going to ask where I am and suddenly everyone will notice I'm gone.

I'll be the guy braving face shots in the Wasatch.

Tough job, but somebody's got to do it!

I just reserved a room at Parkers 2/9-2/11

Sounds like we'll get to meet up before skiing on the 11th.

Plan on skiing somewhere on 2/10, just not sure where. First things to come to mind, but a bit of a trip in either case is Burke or Sunday River.

Febb 11th is also the Beer Advocate Extreme beer Fest in Boston, as well as the day they're going to build a tubing and cross-country park on teh Commons.

Extreme Beer + tubing = Good Times!

Maybe Cannon on the 10th, I might be there, and NHPH will probably be there. Are you kids coming with you?

 

[thetrailboss]

If we're still a go for the 11th, I will be there with at least Ms. Trailboss and maybe more folks.

Yup, my whole family is coming up. Unfortunately, my oldest David is still healing up from his broken arm. He will be out of the cast and wearing only a brace, but I doubt he'll do any high performance skiing that weekend. I'm hoping to tool around some groomed terrain with him just to keep his feet moving.

My 9 year old Peter will be ready to rip. His skiing has come a long way this season. I can tell because I watch him ski and his aggressiveness and speed scare the daylights out of me at times. Now he bothers me almost daily about fresh powder and skiing in the woods.

3 1/2 year old James has been out 6 days this season and made his first unassisted turn and stop last weekend. We're shooting for linked turns by the Cannon meeting.

Expect to see me there with one or two others.



Looking forward to bagging a new resort.


That's "bagging" not "banging" in case any of you pervs misread that.

I have a small cabin 10 minutes away from Cannon. If any of you are hard up for a place to stay, you are more than welcome to crash out on my living room floor. Mi casa et su casa. It is camp-style, but I do have a hot shower and a kitchen.
I am also going to scrounge up as many $25. "employee vouchers" as I can for ya.
PM me if you are interested.

 

[zowi420]

yes!

 

[Vortex]

I have considered doing an apres ski thing at my place also. May be out of the way for some, but post gathering is a plan some where. Zowie420 where is a good place to meet? 8.30ish sound ok for most?
A few of us may hit the River on Sunday as a mini follow up to this trip.

 

[thetrailboss]

Apres Ski: sure. Cannon would be best for me. Apres, apres ski: probably not for me.

 

[JimG.]

Apres-ski at Cannon works here.
