Mount Snow, November... 8th

[Zand]

I'm dying for some Chute bumps right now.

After last year's great opening weekend, who's gonna hit it again opening weekend this year?

 

[severine]

Wow, you guys are really planning ahead here! It's good to have goals... something to look forward to.

I was there last November 10th opening day and skied for a few hours with GSS and his buddy who made the long drive up from PA. I should be there this year too. Let's hope for an another early start. Many years in the past they didn't open until after Thanksgiving.

I wouldn't mind starting my season earlyish at Mount Snow again this year. They sure put out a good product for us last year on the 12th.

It's way to early for me to be making any commitments yet though...

i have the roxio dvd creator at home and have spent probably about 40 hours or so over the last month making various movies. just farking around at night when the kids are sleeping. i have so many "homemade" ski porn movies from the stuff you, greg, marge and myself have posted its crazy. my ski jones is as bad as its ever been. watching them on the big screen tv instead of a monitor is pretty cool too.


oh, and to unhijack, its waaaay far out but i see no reason i wont be hitting mt. snow as soon as they open chute.

Stop effin torturing yourself by watching all the movies and the jones won't be as bad. That, and get your ass off the couch and get a MTB. It's almost as good as skiing, but you don't need good snow or a lift ticket to do it....

Right on. Plus you get to hang with your ski buddies in the off season.

I was trying to entice him to join a ride, not scare him away... :lol:

November 8, huh? Not sure I'll make opening weekend, but the first Friday when Chute is open, and I'm on board.

Dude, that sounds like a plan to me!

I was going to say, didn't you just say you weren't going to burn any vaca days for potential WROD (not that what I saw of the video on Chute was last year)

guess you covered yourself with 'too many' though :lol:

first Saturday or Sunday I'd be in for an AZ day at Snow. Definitely will be saving any vaca days I use for later in the season.

That's my other personality. :lol:

By "too many", I mean more than one or two in November. And I am determined to not force it this year. If it's not quality (read: ungroomed) skiing like last year, I'll sit tight.

That sounds like a good plan in theory, but it might be hard to pull off once the jones hits full strength.

Throwing my sheeet in the car right now.....

 

[reefer]

I shall be there opening day as usual. And I will not miss the first AZ gathering there this year, especially if on a Friday!

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Last year I skied Mount Snow on Saturday and Sunday November 10th and 11th with Atomic Jeff and MLCVT joined us for some runs as well..

 

[Grassi21]

Count me in. The jones is increasing....

 

[ALLSKIING]

I might not make opening day but I will be there soon after.

 

[mondeo]

Partly it'll depend on whether or not Kmart is open. Not because Kmart will necessarily have better conditions, but because I've already paid.

My guess is I'll be in for the first gathering within a 3 hour drive. I'll save the longer drives for better conditions.
