I guess that I will have to come along next April, since Bob has designated me as the driver.

I will drive us all to the Porterhouse Resteraunt, that's as far as I go from Sugarloaf.

Best resteraunt in town, I can almost taste the duck strips, porterhouse steak and russian creme for dessert.

Did I mention that I HATE you guys for talking about Sugarloaf in JULY!!!!!!!! :lol:

I used to have a pic of Sugarbush up there. Check out what I have now. Again, you may need to refresh.

i doubt any local any where would be caught dead giving up a tour to the goods with a large gathering of people. two is company but three is a crowd is generally how i look at it when showing other folks some fun stuff i know of. any ways, we would have to get a substantial group rate before i be paying stowe $$$ to ski there. till then, i'll be skiing mansfield on my own power. much of the goods is hike to on mansfield any ways from what i understand.

hey, it was a hope :D , i doubt we could find anyone to give us a tour... but maybe there is some hope, anyway how many people do you think we would get together to ski the OB stuff... i say it would be only about 5 max.
We could even buy them lunch for the tour(which ussually runs about $20 at stowe :wink: )

Yes but the chairs take away 2000 vertical feet of hiking or skinning :wink: unless your talkin about the backside, in which the lift wont help you

you can still do teardrop utilizing the chair, but you still gotta hike back up and over. in general, i say thumbs down to trying to find a local for a tour. stashes and other lift accessed stuff is generally found or a spontaneous hook up when all the reasons are right. i would never intentionally go to a ski area looking for a local, especially in with a small group. i would never consider dishing if i saw folks doing that on my home hill.

Stuff like that might work better in a PM form. Special secret info, just does not come out in public forums. Someone on the old K site got bashed asking about secret places.

Bump

Well it seems like we will be doing Killington on Nov 11th.

I would suggest We do Sunday River in December just before X mass maybe the 17th of December. Get some use out of the bronze passes before the black out dates come in.

I would be up for Loon Any Sat in Jan. get the threedom passes out. Mlk would be a black out date, for some of the restricted passes.

Feb for Cannon after it has had a chance to get a few storms and base built up. Mass vacation week would be probably a tought one.

that leaves plenty of time for the NY and VT mountains to sneak in during that time span or after.

Ow ya Reggae in April at Sugarloaf.


Feed back guys

A few Mass Trips would also be a good Idea. As well as a few NY Trips-Hunter. I was also thinking of a few CT trips for the people in these areas. CT would have to be planned for mid season to have good conditions.
