Hunter AZ Gathering - 12/14/2007

[Brettski]

Hunta!!!!!!!!!!

What a great day Friday....I don't see a thread about it, but what an outing

Austin....make some turns! How's the face?

Ivanski...is that because you like to ski?

D! Nice to finally meet...wish you were playing in the lodge

When do we do that again?

And who missed the quad? Not me.

Oh, and who toke advantage of the flex tix? $24.95. What a deal, and what nice people at Potters

And driving home on the thruway...who knew I'd get my doors blown off doing 75...only bad part was on 278...basically 2hours 15 minutes

And does Austin get the most dedicated for a 4 hour run 1 way??????

 

[Greg]

And who missed the quad? Not me.

I certainly didn't. I wouldn't have been able to go from almost open to close with the HSQ. No quad also preserved the conditions on Ike which was great right up until the end.

Didn't end up meeting you, Brettski. I thought I heard you were there, but we must have been with different groups.

Agreed!

Didn't end up meeting you, Brettski. I thought I heard you were there, but we must have been with different groups.

Likewise, I didn't end up meeting most of the people there. Oh well, their loss..

 

[bvibert]

Probably my worst wipeout ever. I really hope someone caught it on video though...

I didn't think I caught it, but upon further review I found that I did get the beginning of the wipeout on film while I was taping someone else. I couldn't see the whole thing from my vantage point though...

That's because Austin slid down 1/3 of the way down Minya Konka out of sight... :lol:

Agreed!



Likewise, I didn't end up meeting most of the people there. Oh well, their loss..

Well, I'm sure....I wanted to meet everyone, but we had to get the kids off to school, so we didn't get on Mountain until 11:00...hell it took me 1/2 hour to get out of West Orange due to the downed trees and power lines

I did get to meet a few people...what a great bunch of skiiers...and listen, stop giving Austin and his rocket powered skis a hard time

Would've been good if we had a big AZ Sign in the lodge...where did everyone hang out after?

Also, we had to leave at 3:00 to get back for the kids....

And my name is still not on the list

Anyone willing to do a Tuesday? I think the people in the office are looking at 1/8

Oh, and some co-workers went to Belleayre...big mistake...they had to off load at some midstations...at least the got $15 lifts

I don't think I've ever seen hunter with so much open so early before

All in all a great day

Really!

Now I need to find a cheap place to stay and a reservation a last chance!

Sounds like a plan!

 

[bvibert]

...where did everyone hang out after?

In the car, on the way home...

Seriously, a few of us hung around in the lodge while the die-hards (or those who's legs hadn't turned to jelly) finished up. Once our car-load was done skiing we didn't hang around for very long...

Chocolate covered esspresso beans.... mmmmmmmmmmmm....

Not planning on 1/8, but I'll probably be back on MLK Day. Maybe once over Christmas break too.

Hey, I had time to crush 3 beers before we got on the road. And Greg, my tiny bladder thanks you for stopping. ;-)

 

[koreshot]

I want to get a day or two in at Hunter between now and New Years day.

I can do dec 22, 23, 29, 30 and 31. Hunter locals, what days would you recommend for avoiding the christmas crowds?

 

[dmc]

I'm guessing the weekend before Xmas should be OK..

Yeah, let's do that again!

The quad being down really wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. My legs hurt enough by the time I got to F lift anyway.

Flex tickets were a nice deal. That's what I used.

I always have a choice between the GSP and 287 for getting home. Either one is a crap shoot, but the GSP sure was bad Friday night. But sounds like every highway was bad. The advantage of the GSP for me, it dumps me out on the NJ TP and then I can fly. With 287 I am stuck on 206 all the way to Princeton and that isn't fun either.

 

[trtaylor]

That's the advantgae of being a rider and not the driver. :razz:

 

[Grassi21]

That's the advantgae of being a rider and not the driver. :razz:

Yeah but when I got home I passed out before dinner. Great skiing with you T.

 

[Brettski]

Well since I do all the driving, that all has to wait until I get home

It's scary enough out there...can't wait till Jersey enforces the cell phone law

Thought my Hamstring was healed enough, but was sure sore when I got out of the car...not to mention the back started to act up, and the knee got pretty tweeked slamming into the piles of pow...damn flat light

WHEN CAN I DO THAT AGAIN!!!!

Great Time

Had a great time at Hunter Friday! Great to see so many AZers for the first time and put some faces and names together. Snow was great all day. Tough ride, especially home, just a long way.Wore me out I took the rest of the w/e off! Bad me! I'll have to make it up during the week when the wind calms down...........
Shout out to Greg "the pied piper" for plannig this!
Wa-Loaf for putting up for over six hours in a car with my buds and me! Not to mention the making me look bad skiing part! This guys is good!
Hawkshot for getting us some early Claires' - thanks for everything Hawk!
2Knees, Powhunter, Johnnypoach, Ta&idaho, great to ski with you madmen! Should have spent more time with you. Hope to some day!
Here's one pic atop the Claires cutover - left to right, reefers gloves, Hawkshot99, Chris, Ta&idaho (this guy skis like the wind also - lawyers.........), Wa-Loaf!

Friday was a great time. It was nice to put some faces to the names. I couldn’t believe how many AZ’ers met up at the fingers. Looking forward to the next outing.
