Reggae at the Loaf April 13 to the 15th

[Greg]

Reggae '04 was even later than this year (April 16-18) and during a pretty thin snow year. We still skied Misery Whip:

And White Nitro Ext:

Long term weather has temps even during the day below freezing.
Some snow even mentioned in the forcast. Looks like this will be a good event with snow left. I'm back to a Friday to Sunday know. Can't take the monday after off.

yeah, i skied gondi ext, stump shot, cuffer, winters way etc... on reggae last year even though it was a terrible snow year:smash: but we also had about 20" of heavy cement on april 6 ish which saved the spring big time. based on last weekend, unless we get some snow it aint gonna be pretty. Also this year they never groomed it at all so that could have something to do with it melting so fast. All the groomed trails are still wall to wall though and with the cold and possible snow for next week you never know! Pipecleaner should still have good snow anyway:-D

So whats up? Not much chatter, but alot snow coming. I'm there. Last couple years we met at Bullwinkles at 11am on Friday and then headed out after that. Meeting a few Sr folks then also.

I think the conditions for Reggae are going to be pretty crappy this year. I'm glad I'm not going.... :roll:

Ski patrol just opened up the front side snowfields (Jagger and Ignitor). I am trying to decide when to come up. It might be friday-saturday.

We had a last minute cancellation and have room for a mature adult who is interested in enjoying this weekend at the Loaf. If interested PM me.

I can't make the Loaf this year..Thought I was going to be able to pull it off but its just not in the cards. I will give it another try next year.

This one hurts to miss...Mid-winter conditions for Reggae is just sick.

 

[loafer89]

We just booked a room in Rangeley (28 miles to Sugarloaf) at the Town & Lake Motel and got a room with a kitchen for $85 a night. We may just ski Saddleback on friday as the ski area is about 5-10 minutes away.

The shlep up in the snow should be lots of fun.

Rangeley is about a 40 minute drive to Sugarloaf in good weather and the town website is www.rangeley-maine.com.

You may also want to try the town of Eustis which is 7 miles to Sugarloaf, but I think alot of the lodging is already booked. The town website is www.eustismaine.com

What is the plan for the weekend, when and where is everybody skiing?

 

[Vortex]

meet at 11.30 at Bullwinkles on Friday and Sat. it you skip Friday then just sat. Sunday I'm probably going back to the river.

 

[loafer89]

I probably will ski at Sugarloaf on friday, as come to think of it, saturday will be a mad house with tons of people. Hopefully the weather will calm down for good driving to Sugarloaf on friday morning.

Saturday-sunday will probably be spent at Saddleback.

Look for us at Bullwinkle's at 11:30 on friday

Latest forecast says 14" total

A whole lot of suck right there. What's worse than not planning to hit the Loaf for Reggae (me) is planning to go and then having it fall through given the conditions (you). I'm sure I'm not making you feel any better about it...

 

[Terry]

Or planning to go and then can't because of injuries. Best spring conditions in years and I'm stuck reading about it on here. It ain't right!!! I hope everyone has a good time and has a beer or two, or ten for me! :beer:
