Is there interest in a get together at Killington on one weekend in May? I have one voucher to use at any ASC resort from Attitash/Bear Peak and it would be nice to meet up with some of the nice folks I have enjoyed chatting with.

If SR in not open Arpil 30th I will be there. I will be there the following weekend for sure, cause thats what will be left, K and Bretton Woods. My pass will still be good. I would be up for a late season trip. :D

I Guess that if Killington is going to throw in the towel early, than May 1st sounds safe for skiing with minimal walking required. Hopefully mother nature cooperates to preserve as much snow as possible over the next month or so.

Dates I have heard are the 14th and 15 of may for closure. Last year May 11 or something like that 2 days after Bretton woods I believe. Would not be surprised it Bretton Woods stays open the longest this year. May 1st I could not make doing ski Mainia at SR. We'll have a group there. Edit Sr is reporting shutting down April 24 and then opening May 1st for ski mainia so if its April 30th I'll be there.

So make the trek to the Big-K on the 30th and then to SR on the 1st. You can ski with Bob R on both days! :)

I am going up for the whole weekend, as It is a long way for me for a day trip and I want to ski there on May 1st for the slalom. So if April 30th is convenient, lets meet up on that date.

Fair enough. Lets set a firm time and place later depending on arrival times I would say K base lodge deck in front of the electric sign 9.30ish might work.

Sounds good, I hope I can make it! I'm surprised there isn't more interest in this, I guess everyone has hung up their skis/boards for the year... :roll:

Huh? No way! Skiing planned the next 3 weekends, but the weekend you guys want to meet I'll be out of town on business. That would be the first weekend this season I have not skied at least 1 day. BUMMER!

Will try to get up to K for at least a day the next weekend (5/7). After that, I might be done for the season.

Thats the spirit! Too bad about the business trip getting in the way of skiing... :(

The 30th will probably be my last day, and I doubt I'll get in any skiing between this weekend and then... :cry:
