Wow past labor day already and there is a ski show this weekend at the fairgrounds lol...I guess thats not a bad thing lol.

Anyway I plan on updating the roster later this week. Thanks to those who sent in the forms and deposits,


Were gettin there....

 

[Mpdsnowman]

Ok here we go lol. Here is the updated roster information.

Individual packages:
9 Members Committed
1 Member Confirmed
​

Group Condos:
2 Condos Committed
1 Condo Confirmed

​

 

[Mpdsnowman]

We just got another group condo committed. That makes four of them (total 24 people) plus the 10 individuals so now we are up to 34. More people are in the process of lining up their vacations and securing the funds. If you are interested in going but have not got ahold of me yet please do so. If I have to hold more condos I can so let me know before they sell them out.

Again, these are the best slopeside condos they got and spots are limited...

Sounds like a great trip. I've been meaning to go to Jay. Is this trip mostly for snowboarders or is it a good mix. Also how do the individual sign ups work. Do you pair people up or do I need to fill a room/condo.

No they get both snowboarders and smokers, Jay gets more natural snow then anyone else in North East you should go.

 

[Mpdsnowman]

Its actually a great mix of both skiers and snowboarders. To me its really irrelevant and the same for the people who go because we all work together and were doing the same thing just a little different technique. Age wise its all over the board lol. The first meet we had 7 years ago we had just 10 people. Ages were 21 to 76 both skiers and riders lol. We rented a house in Alpine Haven which is about 4 miles from the resort itself. The following year it went to two houses, then three the third and 4 houses the fourth year. As the meet grew so did the mix of skiers and riders as well as the age group broadened.

Since the 5th year we have been fully on the resort itself. I really honestly think this trip has turned out so well because we have been able to grow it along with the resort itself as they grow. As they get bigger they can offer more in the packages (such as the indoor water park which is really cool) and since we have been doing business with them all along they work really well with me on the packages...

The best part is the people, I cant say enough about them. They all have made this meet and some have been going every year and others come back after a year or two off and some come in fresh and make friends for life.

Now as far as the individuals here is how that works. If you decide to go be it by yourself or with a friend, I will put you in a condo with other people. (each condo holds six). People always work well together and honestly it is common they come back the next year with that group lol.

The group condo is when you have 5 other people going and want to all be together (the condos are all in the same area and its common people visit the other condos...Its truly fun lol...

Regardless if your a skier or rider you will come out with a better skill level just by going thru this with others. Skill ranges go beginner to expert to BC experience...

But spots in the box are limited and you dont want to miss this ride for sure...

 

[Skier4life]

This sounds like an amazing trip!!! Well priced too...

 

[Mpdsnowman]

It is and like I said its the people who go who make it so. And its nice to have beer and drinks included for the week. Not that anyone over drinks but the fact it is included saves a ton of money because that is an expenditure that really empties your pockets especially being there for a week.

But the ultimate goal here is to meet others who share the same enthusiasm and at the same time increase your skill level by skiing and riding with them....

 

[Mpdsnowman]

Well it looks like a great start to Winter in the NE thats for sure. Hopefully some of you got out for some early season runs at killington or even jay where the locals are having fun. It actually snowed outside my house in syracuse last night which is always a great sign this time of year lol..

Anyway an update on the meet. Out of the seven condos, five are booked. The group condo package is sweet and people jumped on it. I can get more if people are interested. I still have single spots left but now people are getting back to me after clearing vacations, etc...

So now that the snow is falling if anyone wants in just let me know. I will hold spots for this forum no problem. For those reading this who have already contacted me look for a private email to everyone on the roster by the end of this month.

Like everyone else I am very excited to hop on snow once again. The photo below was from jays site last week...good enough reason for me to get pumped lol

Here is the updated web page

[baldylox]

This site is pretty low traffic, eh Carm? I think I'll be back in this year. Solo.

 

[Mpdsnowman]

Lol awesome glad u found it lol. You might like this site they get a lot of traffic plus its all year around too....northeast style lol..Plus they dont have all that childish clique drama the admins of the other site instigate and promote. Thats why its dying quickly and we simply moved on like all the rest of the members who made that place...

Yea you gotta come back for sure. Just get me your updated email so I can pass you everything....

Its all waitin for ya buddy...

 

[Mpdsnowman]

Update lol

At this point we have 40 firm signed up which means we have two spots left for the condos we have booked. We may have some cancellations as we get closer but if not and you still want to join in, jay has more condos for me they will throw in I just need to let them know. I will get more condos because others are finalizing their work schedules.

Look for a private email from me by the middle of next week. Things are shaping up GREAT! and like I said Jay will issue me more condos if anyone wants in...still plenty of time!

 

[Mpdsnowman]

Jay has received a nice big fat check and more condos will be added. I can take individual registrations up to February 15th. Group condos (6 per condo) can be booked a week before the meet (subject to availablity)

Again. This looks like a great year in the works. There is no better package for this price in this country...if you want to do this, plenty of time....

 

[Custom_Todd]

So everyone bailed on me for my trip to Jay this year. But I still want to go. I remembered from the other site that you guys did this trip every year. I would be flying solo.

Do "singles" come along or is mostly everyone paired up with friends?

 

[Mpdsnowman]

Hi Todd,
I would say its 90% singles and 10 couples. Its kinda neat cause it started out all single and its grown to actually creating marriages and kids so were kinda proud of that. But yea its mostly singles, some bring their gf's or bf's too. What will happen is you will meet alot of great people. I cant say enough about that...in fact this is from a member who was on the first meet with us at jay and he recently posted this on another forum. I felt this to be one of the nicest things ever said about this trip....

There is already conventional wisdom associated with the term "East Coast Meet" and it usually involves Jay, Carm, Growler Rail Jams, Magic Hat, Yummy Cookies, and "the greatest events the Internets have ever conceived"......or something along those lines.

But I still have spots and will get more condos for anyone that wants in. Its all explained in this link right here:

Let me know...

 

[Mpdsnowman]

And I would say the avg ages are between 26 and 52, the majority being the late 20's up to early 40's......

Which really isnt a wide time frame in life lol....I like to think anyway lol...

[kykiee]

Sounds like a good time

 

[Mpdsnowman]

Im going to put an email out to everyone on the roster on the 15th. I did start a waiting list for additional spots and have three on it so if anyone wants in or wants to add friends just let me know. There is plenty of time left to get in on this. Next payment goes to the resort at the end of this month and they will certainly add onto the contract for me..

Lol 60 people fill the box lol...were almost there...
