Cannon outing Feb 11th (Northern Outing)

[Marc]

I'll still be there, snow or not.


Mayhaps I should bring my mtn bike with me just in case?





Ah, I'm sure it'll be fine. Like Bob said, we'll tear around on the groomers if all else fails. I'll bring the Volkls just in case that situation arises. Just don't kill anyone.

...Mayhaps I should bring my mtn bike with me just in case...

Bring your hiking boots with crampons...a walk up to Lonesome Lake in February is always worthwhile... :idea:

 

[Marc]

I definitely would... if I had hiking boots and crampons...




I actually almost bought a used pair of Koflachs, but they were just a bit too small. Nice boots though.

I have an extra pair of Tubbs.
Cannon is making snow nightly, now that the temps have dropped.
I'm going to go check it out right now.

Keep us posted Zowi...I'll be there Fri-Sun regardless of conditions, but it's nice to know what's up.

 

[Vortex]

Cool. Looks like everyone up there is firing the guns again.

 

[thetrailboss]

Definitely keep us in the loop, re: snowmaking Zowi!

 

[zowi420]

Yes they will be snowmaking every night this week. A quick TR from 2p.m. today:
The conditions were surprisingly good! I was nervous because the walk over to Zoomer lift was treacherous, snow over solid ice. I thought the slopes would be similar, but no, they were very good, thin in some spots, a few icy spots, but all were marked with bamboo. Tramway and Profile were hard packed but very skiable. Rocket was ungroomed, lots of small turning got me to the bottom safely. What is that saying about a bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work, it is the same with skiing. But like I said, way better than I expected, considering the rain and 40 degree temps last week. Saturday should be awesome, there is a race on Turnpike and a telefest event planned for Saturday.

 

[ckofer]

I might just be there. Look for a green Chevy Blazer with 207,000 miles, a check engine light that stays on and Ski Cheap Or Die bumper sticker.

 

[thetrailboss]

Come find us in the lodge, ckofer. BTW...before the end of the week, we need to make an announcement in the forum as to the final place, time, etc. for the meeting. I will give cell #'s to Bob R and other mods/organizers as well. Maybe it is best if we exhcange E-mails in PM's.

Turns out I'm heading to VT starting Sat for the next week so I'm out. I'll be skiing Smuggs, Sugarbush, MRG, and Jay from Sat to next Sun. If anyone is dropping by any of the above let me know.

I'll be skiing Sugarbush on Sat & Sun with a bunch of my buddies. We're hitting MRG on Friday. Will you be skiing SB Sat or Sun? If so, PM me so we can meet up for some turns.

 

[zowi420]

Perhaps some people should bring thier Motorola walkabout 2 way radios if they have them. I had suggested channel 3 sub 13 in another thread as the official Alpine Zone channel. That may be a good way to hook up with late arrivals.

I have three and would be willing to loan two. I will bring them on Sat. just in case.

I'll be doing Smuggs Sat and Sun prob. Sugarbush will be on Valentine's Day. I'll throw a couple of midweek days in at MRG too. It comes down to the fact that I don't want to pay full price for the Bush and it's only $14 Tuesday.

 

[JimG.]

5pm...blowing out of this joint for the weekend.

Home tomorrow am, up to Parker's and Cannon pm

Skiing with Dan on Friday.

See any of you AZer's who make it up on Saturday.

Out.

 

[Vortex]

3 13 the Az channel. :idea: I'll have a radio.
Plan is set 8.30 at the lodge with a bar in it in the basement area.
Anyone coming can send me a pm to get my cell. TB will be around as well. Roark and Mark and I... sounds like we are heading together, so look for the tall guy the short guy and Roark. :dunce:

I have serious phone and computer problems at work hopefully it will be fixed by tomorrow, but who knows. I will check in tomorrow night worst case deal.
I'll check Friday also if I'm back on line. After 3 or 4 on friday its sink or swim. I won't be on the computer all weekend probably.

Jim G and Andy Zee are already on their way.
AndyZee, Zowi420, Jim G. TB, Myself Marc, Roark,Terry, Charlie, RivercOil(apres)

Marc and Roark Pm's sent. We should be fine. Jim G is the only one other than Zowi420 I will not have met prior, so this should work fine. I left out spouses and kids to protect the innocent. :idea:
This will be a blast.

 

[thetrailboss]

OK, so to recap:

MEET at 8:30am or so in the Rathskeller Room (bag lunch room) in the basement of Peabody Lodge.

Bob R has my cell phone. I will be there as soon as we can get there. Thanks to Zowi for really pulling some strings to getting this off the ground and thanks to Bob R for getting the ball rolling.

Who is bringing the cameras?

AND take ONE LAST LOOK so you recognize me/us: :wink:

:beer:

 

[Greg]

Who is bringing the cameras?

Yes - be sure to well-document this outing! I'm envious. Have fun guys...

 

[Vortex]
