Please reduce the...

I H8 lacrosse... :-(

....lax hating to 0%. Thank you. The older I get, the better I was...at lax, that is.



Sugarbush skied great this past weekend. Amazing amount of stuff open, including packed corn in the woods that have boulevards / halfpipes which you'd think would have no business being in business right about now.

I don't know what this week's weather/temps might do to the base, but the usual suspects for late spring....Steins, Ripcord, Spills, and Grinder should provide more than enough bumps for you guys.

Don't rule out our overdue late April storm, please. I think we're about 4' short of where I'd like to be, so I'm still praying to Ullr. You should be too ! Powder 8 contest this Sunday !

I actually love lax. Coaching and playing keeps me from scoring the prime spring days like this SB Mogul Fest.

74* is just way too hot for the snow cover. Things get way too mushy at that temp. I may get there earlier than normal for spring skiing. I'll plan to be there sore or not. Anyone planning on being there before 11am? With temps that warm, I think skiing will be past prime by noon.

I'll probably start around 9:30 and ski as long as I can hold out. I'm all over the mush bumps though. However, I probably will opt for the wider Legends over the bump skis to give a little float and less getting hung up.

not sure it will be the same on sunday but currently they are reporting hours 10 AM to 5 PM

Lifts: Super Bravo and Heaven's Gate both open at 10 AM. Bravo spins until 5:00 PM, and Heaven's Gate until 4:00 PM.

currently planning to get there for a 10 AM start.

Yep. Those were spring hours last year too. I think Bravo only spun till 4:30 though. 30 more minutes of Stein's! Woot woot.

probably depart at 6:30 in hopes of being on the hill shortly after 10. At 74 degrees, I might have to break my no skiing in shorts rule. That's crazy hot

You of all people trusting a forecast 5 days out..lol..if it's 74 degrees at Sugarbush..I'll buy HighWayStar a beer..I'm guessing it will be cooler..especially near the peak..

I should be there at 9 or 10, whenever they open, since I'm coming up the night before. I want to be in the car to head home by 3:30 if possible, so I figure I should start early, though I expect this group will tire me out :)

same here

goal is to ski 10ish to 3ish, but won't be surprised if I'm toast after a few hours with all these hardcore bumpers.

Five day forecasts are much more of a safe bet in late April than they are mid-winter, especially when we're taking a HUGE blocking high. Calling for 82 down here on Sunday. 70-ish up there is possible. Anyway, we're golden. Friday through Sunday and the whole Northeast is high and dry.

This is going to be EPIC!!! Believe it.

Looking forward to skiing with TTB and riverc0il again. It's been over 2 years and 3 years respectively. Also looking forward to meeting kyanks1, DHS, and GSS. Also looking forward to meeting and seeing Beast_Ed rip bumps in person. Based on the video of him I've seen, some of it going back to early 90's Killington, there's no question the dude simply kills it.

Now if I can only get powbmps to bag his trip to whatever bullshit beach he's planning on going to, get Brian to scrape up the 29 bucks to buy a lift ticket, get Grassi to quit lacrosse once and effin for all, get JimG. to log on long enough for me to convince him to go, get downhill04 to promise to ski with us without trying to kill himself for once, get o3jeff to put the MTB away long enough to realize it's still ski season, get mondeo to grasp the fact that Outer Limits is no longer the best bump trail in the East, and finally get Highway Gnar to just shut up and ski with some AZers without requiring a ski-off, I'd be happy.

;)
