First trail of the year

[WJenness]

It might be a little early, but what the hell...

What do you think the first trail you will ski this year will be? Are you going to hike for something or wait until the lifts open?

I expect my first run to be on T2 at Sunday River... I feel a cold coming on for opening day.

I'm hoping for whatever is first to open at Mt. Snow and there is a similar AZ gathering early November

Good idea I'll try that also. I hope that run is in Oct. I usually hike after the lifts close for the season, not so much prior. Depends on if I'm in the way of the snowmaking crew.

That's my plan as well. I certainly wouldn't mind starting on a well covered Chute like last year:

I'm not sure if that was my first run, but it was definitely my most traveled run that day.

Probably Canyon-Standard if I hit Mount Snow. Or perhaps HBK if day one is at Hunter.

Thanks for bringing back some memories of a truly fantastic day.

That it was. Read through the TR thread too, made me yearn for November turns at Snow again..

I think that in all likelihood, day one for me will be at Snow. I suspect they'll follow the same (non)grooming approach on Chute. Spongy bumps on day one rule!

I freaking hope so!

Most likely whatever the WROD is at Crotched during Thanksgiving weekend.

Canyon/Standard at Mount Snow

+1 for me too. I missed last year. Hope to make it this year!!

No idea..some years my first day is Okemo...some years Belleayre..last year was Mount Snow..my first ski outing of the year is usually very last minute..and opening days are usually on the weekend so I don't need to call in sick..

Probably T2 for me also.

 

[hiroto]

Usually at Wawa down Ralph's run. But I might try Pats Peak this year if they open as early.

 

[Johnskiismore]

Probably T2 for me also.

Count me in as well on this one! Definately taking some days off from work for this!

 

[hardline]

will most likely be at mt snow or possible the bell. it totally depends on who's got WROD going on first.

Hellgate at Hunter.

Another vote for T2!
