Powdery snow? He he he...

Wow, these guys are good. They can predict the water density and consistency of the snow that might fall 7 days from now. Impressive.

Did you see that the powdery snow is followed by a day of regular snow? hmmm...

What happened to the sheep?

 

[Brettski]

Hey are we gonna be using 3-13 on the radios on Friday?

Now there's a road trip

http://www.mapquest.com/directions/...2pl=&2v=&2n=&2pn=&2a=&2c=Hunter&2s=NY&2z=&r=f

More like 2:20 from Bristol, with good roads. That's sorta the way I go, except I grab 23A out of Catskill. I also use the Egremont Road short cut to link up with 23 from 7 instead of going all the way to Great Barrington. I can get there in less than 2 hours.

 

[Greg]

Hey are we gonna be using 3-13 on the radios on Friday?

I don't know of any of us that use the radio channel quite honestly. We'll set a meet-up time at the "five fingers", say 10:30 am?

For those not familiar with the mountain, that yellow tower/sign is right at the bottom of Hellgate/top of Broadway/Kennedy. It's almost impossible to miss it.

 

[Marc]

I count six fingers...

 

[Greg]

I count six fingers...

I know. Maybe five fingers and a thumb? Kinda like you got?

 

[Hawkshot99]

Do you purchase it online?

The signature required thing is a bit of a problem

Can you buy it at the store?

And where is the store in kingston?

You can purchase them online or in the store. However at the moment the stores do not open until 10. For the winter the Kingston store changes its hours and opens at 8 am. I am not sure when this change will be taking place. I will check and update here.

It is very easy to get to the Kingston store from the throughway, less than a mile.

I think the sixth finger is just for you

Nice, this is shaping up to be one hell of an event!

I think we're full up in our carpool, otherwise I'd say you could join ours leaving from Torrington...

 

[MarkC]

You can count me in.

 

[awf170]

I'm probably out. Mrg is 45 minutes closer and $25 cheap for me. With the conditions they have up there right now going to Hunter would be kind of nuts.

Maybe, but a gathering makes it worth it. Sometimes it's not only the conditions that are important.

Now, I want you to think about what you just said! :smash:

I can't say I blame him. Hunter is a good early season option due to their abundant snowmaking, but that's kinda moot lately...

 

[Greg]

Ike finally opened today and there's snowmaking going on Upper Claire's. Good night time (at least) snowmaking temps for the foreseeable future so I'm hopeful we also get Upper Crossover and the other single diamonds on the front.

Still praying for Annapurna.
