Work to 6, maybe get out and take some runs during the day, then hop in my truck and drive the 4 minutes home to see the GIANTS win big!
I had a feeling that was coming. :-D I was thinking more that folks from NY are often found on the New England ski mountains, which would render them a little more deserted than usual if it were just the Pats in the super bowl.
If it were any other team other than the Patriots, I wouldn't even bother with the game.
Sugarbush is running a $46 lift ticket on Sunday. But you HAVE to buy it today.

Last year, I skied the Thunderbolt on SB Sunday. I don't think it's happening this year because I'm not too confident about the snow cover on Greylock -- and the Patriots are playing in the big game.

Super Bowl Sunday is historically Cannon's busiest day of the year. In fact it's the only time I've ever seen it insanely busy.
So I don't know. Give it a shot in the AM. Bail for a hike if it's crowded. Watch the game somewhere.

With the 2 for 1 I'm expecting Ragged to be a bit busy as well. Figure it can't be as busy as Sunapee during holiday week...it's all good.

It's the new geography KevinF!....LOL., Mountain should be dead.. Would like to go Sunday, Friday for sure.
About the same, but I'll catch a few things...news, sports, weather, fuzzy-science in the early AM hours.

While NY is not in New England, there are tons of Giants fans in New England. I bet if you look at age groups between 50-75 in New England you would find many Giants fans. Then of course you have the fact that many of these "old timers" passed on their love of the Giants to their offspring and so on. Back in the 50's 60's and 70's the Giants ruled the TV in New England.

Snow. Sugarloaf. Big party. Lots of beer. Great food. Watch game. Sleep. Wake up and ride Monday.

Given my personal experience with this:
and being told that it is the exact opposite at SR, we are hitting up Sunday River for the weekend. Besides, I've been fortunate enough to have my favorite team play in the superbowl many times. I've never experienced an uncrowded Sunday at the Barker base.
I am going to TiVo the game and start watching it at around 8. Stop by.

I'll be skiing with my son at the local mountain, drive the 15 minutes home in plenty of time to watch the Super Bowl.
Ironically, my wife, who's a Pats fan, will be watching the game covered in my Jets blanket because every time she's used my Jets blanket watching a Pats game the Patriots won.

I'm glad to see the Jets give someone some joy. It certainly was not us Jet fans this year.

That just seems so wrong on so many levels
Almost like the ESPN commercial where you see the 20 something couple making out on the couch with one wearing a Michigan shirt and the other wearing an Ohio State shirt lol: :lol:

This!
After today's warm rain, conditions will be marginal on Saturday and Sunday so there probably won't be a reason to ski past 2pm on Sunday.

What's a super bowl? Is that like a toilet bowl? or a large fish bowl? A spittoon?
"At a Tuesday morning press briefing, members of the Super Bowl Host Committee said they have heard the request from downtown visitors.
They said 86 additional port-o-lets will be delivered and installed downtown in time for Wednesday's opening. Currently, there are only 24 port-o-lets, in addition to several restroom trailers.
At the briefing, organizers said the downtown crowds have been slightly larger than their projections. As of Tuesday morning, an estimated 265,000 people had visited the Super Bowl Village, and more than 118,000 had been to the NFL Experience at the Convention Center."
