Good Friday is later this year so I think it would be wise to have this in mid March like last year. Then again, last time Good Friday was in April like 18" fell in the MRV...

Anyways, March 20th would be my suggestion, but this is up to Greg. I wouldn't be able to attend on March 13th if that's when it happens because I'll be 20 miles up the road for the weekend. Hopefully we don't pick the windiest weekend of the year again this year. Castlerock was off the hook early on last year but got ugly and crowded late in the day.

EDIT: Another suggestion I have is to do an MRG day on Friday the 20th and Sugarbush on Sat the 21st. I know Friday/Saturday trips are common here so that might also be a good idea for many.

I missed last year due to illness. I would be game, but it depends on how my school and business schedules are at the time. It's too early for me to commit.

So it looks like we have some interest here, and March 21st has been floated as the day. That's fine, but I know if folks are expecting a ticket deal, Saturdays are probably not the best day for SB, unless we were to stay at Mount Ellen. Lincoln Peak is a zoo on Saturdays. If we shifted the day to Friday or Sunday, that might make a difference.

Again, I am up almost every weekend, so there is an open invite to ski with me.....

As to my availability for the 21st, it is up in the air because my fiancee is doing a three-month stint in Portland for med school, and some weekends I will be in Maine seeing her. Whether the 21st is one of those weekends remains yet to be seen.

I'd like for plans solidified, too. It will take some time to work out whether or not we can go, but we need a date to figure it all out.
