Killington Get Together

Ok kids group think has brought us to 8.30 on the deck in front of the Electronic sign on Sat. at the base Lodge. Anybody into doing a cook out in the Lot?

At age 33, I have to admit that I have never done/been to a tailgate party :dunce: So if I can help out, let me know what to bring. I am staying close to Rutland, so I can pick up any needed supplies.

I usually handle all that garb, just seeing if anyone would come. Probably just sausage,Burgers, and beverages are the plan. I'm a half day guy this Sat with a cook out. Thankx for the offer.

Where is everyone staying? If I go, It may be the Cascade.....unless there is an official AZ place.

Not sure I am day tripping it sort of. Driving part way Friday and driving towards Sunday River after I'm done on Sat.

I am staying at Cortina Inn, I wanted to stay at the Cascades Lodge, but the wife and son overuled me :-?

If anyone is looking for a place to stay, try Yahoo Travel first, as they have cheaper hotel rates than Killington.com does.

I had a great time at the Cortina this Jan. Big party lots of fun.

The picture of Superstar from basinski.com looks really nice. The trail looks to have survived the rain of last weekend.

I picked up my annual small tailgate grill last night. I keep it in my truck all summer just in case.
I have a nice one I use for football games, but to hard to carry around all the time. Sat Burgers and Sausage and beverages, further deatails at 8.30 on Sat. Like an idea if your showing so I have enough food. Hope to see all Sat. I will be going rain or shine. Ski duration will be altered if weather not good, but going no matter what. :beer:

I'm skiing to get to 60 days on Sat. That's my motivation and to see some new faces and say good bye to others. Pm sent. Drop by to grab a bite to eat.

My motivation is to meet all of you for the first time, and to get a May day in with my son. Hopefully the weather will cooperate, as the forecasted rain may stay south of K according to the NWS.

Bvibert????? You still out there? You still making an appearance.? Drag Greg with you. :idea: :beer:

I'm still undecided if I'm going. But if I do, I'm toying with the idea of heading up Friday night so I can avoid waking up at 4 to drive. IF I do drive up on Saturday, I certainly won't be there by the 8:30 meetup time. Loaf ... what time are you leaving to get there? Anyone else heading up Friday after work?

 

[loafer89]

I am working until about 1:00pm, and we are booked on the 2:00pm ferry, so I should be up at our hotel by 8-8:30pm.

The latest NWS forecast is now calling for partly cloudy weather on saturday and about 50F or so. Sounds good for skiing Sunday looks wet with showers and t-storms.

Owch .... let's hope this changes.

If you continue down on that is says Sat partly Sunny /Sat night 40% chance of showers. Is the glass half full or half empty?

 

[loafer89]

The forecasts for Killigton keep flip flopping like a pancake. I think that Saturday wil be okay before noon time, but then wet through sunday morning. Regardless I am commited, as I have the hotel and ferry already booked, hello raincoat. :-?

I'm with Loafer89. I'm going. :beer:

If it rains, does Killington still give out those ridiculous looking rain ponchos's, or as Warren Miller calls them: Le Bag Garbage :lol: ?

I skied the May 1st slalom in 1994 in a blinding fog, and the June 1st slalom in 1997 in torrential rain, looks like deja vous all over again for sunday.
