One more for sure at the Loaf on Thursday 4/21. If the River makes 5/1 I will be there, but skiing like Thursday is my last day of the season.

Hit Killington today, and will go up to Sunday River for next weekend. That will about do it for me. Total should be 40 days.
Hoping for one more Saturday at Wildcat and then we will see
Tomorrow and probably 2 more sometime in the next few weeks.

We were at Wildcat and Cannon last weekend, and Jay yesterday. We're done now. As terrible as this season was, we still skied nearly every saturday and sunday for a solid 5 months, plus a trip to colorado and some night skiing mid week. We definitely made the most of it.

What are they charging for bib for the 5 Boro Bike Tour nowdays? My wife & I used to ride it but when the bib price went to $125 we stopped. That was several years ago. I remember when it cost next to nothing for a bib.

Sadly, MARCH 6 at Waterville Valley was my last...
Normally I end around this time, or at least end on the $1 tickets on April 1st...

Pretty sure that I paid around $95 plus a small service charge for using a credit card. I wonder if it's gone down because there are so many more riders. I just looked at my bank statement...with the service charge it was $102 and change.

Actually they limit the number of bibs they sell & have for years. They sell out early. Maybe I just misremembered the price we paid last time we rode. Have fun, it's a great ride if the weather cooperates.
It is a ton of fun. This will be my fourth year.

Thought I was done last week again (3rd time now). Got a call from one of "Da Boyz" last night who said a couple of them are heading to VT. for a long weekend Thurs. evening. They're off from work Fri. because of Passover. He even offered to pick me up & give me a ride. How can I resist such an offer. Better yet Killington will start honoring my mid-week pass this weekend so skiing is paid for. Looks like I'll have a couple of more days coming up.

You didn't mis-remember. There's a sliding scale depending on when you register. But nowadays, it sell out so early the later pricing doesn't apply at all. You're either in at the lower price or you're out.
I used to ride it, back when it was only in the 20k rider range. It was quite a zoo (and a party) even at that. So can't imagine what it's like now with double the ridership. But maybe they figured out how to run it finally.
I did the Montreal one, Tour de Lil several times. They run it a lot better, 40k riders but no blockage. Much smoother.

So jealous, have fun shredding for all of us. I'm still trying to get a couple of days in on the very last days of April but this weekend is probably the last prime conditions to be had. Forecast is looking warm and wet all of next week.

They limit the ride to 32k riders and now they send them off in 4 waves in 45 minute intervals. Even so, it's pretty stop and go for the first few miles until you get through Central Park. Once you're through the park it's smooth sailing.

In the Montreal ride, you get a starting time assigned to you at the time of your registration. So the starting is basically continuous, over a window of several hours.
The 5 boro ride has some special limitations, namely the bottlenecks created by the bridges. There's only so many riders can get through at the same time. Same problem with getting through Central Park.
But the bigger problem for the 5 Boro tour is they still try to wrap up the ride in too short a time. So that necessitate bunching up of riders, creating crowding situation.
Montreal spreads the ride over a much longer time window. A lot more civilized.
