I'm seriously thinking of coming down Saturday. What time are you heading over?

my arrival time is somewhat in the air. i won't know until friday. i could be on skis anywhere between 12 and 2. i'll start up a thread for 3/7 in T&E.

I was thinking the first of maybe a couple Gunbarrel gatherings this month on Sunday. Saturday should be warm too which will let the bumps get skied in. Maybe a shower Saturday night and temps well into the 50's on Sunday. Slush explosions! I could be there between noon and 1 pm. If there is enough interest from those needing lift tickets, I can work on a group rate.

Roll call:
Greg

Please add the number of lift tickets you would need after your name.

Sunday is a maybe for me. If it happens I would be there around 3.

Just got this from WTNH:

SUNDAY: Showers end early. Developing sun. Warm with highs close to 60.

8) Remember. DST too. We'll have good light right through 6 or 7 pm.

Joe Fury was saying the same thing on this mornings news, we'll have to wait and see.

Sunday may be the double session for me. Wouldn't get there until at least 4, though, assuming I leave Killington around 1.

Fighting the urge to buy yet more new equipment this year....

Any of you with dedicated mogul boards have an opinion on length-- I am 5'9" and ski 170 shaped skis-- would the 168 work or do I need to go longer to the 175...

You might be able to get away with the 168.

Thanks pow, do you think my 25.5 boot will fit the binding?

 

[Madroch]

No worries... Still considering going longer in anticipation of (1) improving... hope springs eternal; and (2) weight gain... reality.

Naive question here-- are longer bump skis preferred for higher end skiing?
