Mount Snow 11/10-11/11....

[JimG.]

Official word...I will be there for the 12th pending the opening.

Very close to a new career...3rd interview today went very well. Now it is a matter of the $. VP in charge of that is out until next Monday.

So bring on the skiing baby! Hell, maybe I'll be there for the 10th and 11th too.

I didn't see this quote from the snow report in anyone's posts above, looks good for the weekend if everything goes as planned..

Here’s the plan: tomorrow night (Tuesday) we light up the fan guns on Upper Canyon, Canyon, Standard, Launch Pad, Long John and, oh yes… our new terrain park Vermontster. Depending on how well the weather cooperates, we may even blow on Snowdance later this week.

We aren’t setting an official date, but don’t be surprised if you’re carving corduroy Saturday morning, November 10, at 9 a.m.

I don't really see much about the North Face though...

BTW, is it just me or do they really need a better trail map online...

Your right about their on-line trail maps, they do suck. This section of the web-site is left over from the ASC days. The maps should be re-done so they'd print in PDF format. You can't really read the names as it displays now.

You forgot the most important part of the quote (note capitalization below is correct):

"It's GO time."

My wife and I just changed all our weekend plans . . . I'm taking Monday off (holiday for the school kids) . . . It's GO time!

We'll be up this weekend and Monday (I'm assuming they'll be open for the holiday)

So how do I recognize a fellow AZ member?

On another, but somewhat related note, I'm looking for someone to rake leaves and cleanout a garage in Connecticut this weekend. Good pay. Free beer. Please respond with your interest.

Oh this is sick, I might have to go...

F'ing leaves are most likely going to prevent me from going 3 days.

1 definite, 2 if I'm motivated.

Now my Saturday event doesn't look so bad V, I'll get the leaves done in the AM, and then be free for some turns Sunday(likely) and maybe even Monday!

Once I get the word that Mount Snow will be open on Saturday the 10th..here's my plan..

Friday...noon..get out of work..car already packed up..out of the Megalopolis before the PM rush hour..I might hit some traffic in Albany NY but that's O.K...check into a cheap motel in Bennington..probably hit up the brewary..

Saturday AM..Dunkin Doughnutz..be booted up and ready for first chair..I've heard they open at 8:00AM..but also 9:00AM????? Ski Ski Ski..a buddy or two from PASR may also be coming up..

Saturday Apres Ski...party like a rockstar..in celebration of my first day on the snow in over 6 months..what are good Apres Ski spots near Mount Snow????? Saturday night either stay back in Bennington or somewhere else..

Sunday..ski hard until about noon or 1:00PM...drive back to PA and be home by dinner...write a trip report..

I'm looking forward to the first mad steezy TR.

My ski reports are hella detailed....it might take me an hour to write the first trip report..

Details are good..... especially since there will be an AZ gathering at Snow on Monday.

Are the AZ gathering usually on weekdays??

Not if we can help it...Midweek all the way!!

I prefer Fridays to ski mostly. Sometimes Sundays. There's no rule though. Anyone can propose a gathering in T&E...

 

[Vortex]

Outings I have made are Friday's or Sat. I like a Friday, just cause its an excuse to take a day off and ski. I'm really good at long weekends.

I only planned this one for Monday because it's Vet's Day observed yet I don't think VT has it off. Figured it might be the way to go to get some people to show up yet avoid the crowds.

Most gatherings tend to be Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.

bump..are the guns on at Mount Snow..Do you locals think it will be one run down from the top? I've never been to Mount Snow.

Tonight likely. Not a local, but look for one primary WROD - Canyon to Standard with also a terrain park on Carinthia. Maybe River Run down to the bottom of TNF. Perhaps a miracle will happen and we'll get Chute.

With the forecast..maybe there'll be an extra trail open for Sunday and Monday...

Do you think Mount Snow will announce their opening on Thursday???
