Sunday River Sunday 11/21/10

Who's in?

 

[riverc0il]

Unless they can get back Lower Punch, I ain't going near any Sunday River this weekend. Nor Killington. Too little snow and more people are amping up for their first turns. Time to sit out a weekend.

 

[deadheadskier]

I don't know man. They've got several hours to throw down some snow between now and Sunday. I fully expect better conditions on the Punches and T2 with a possible Barker opening and Right Stuff.

I'm sitting out Tday weekend instead unless Ragged opens by some miracle

Still a great deal this weekend as well. $35, but knocked down to $25 if you bring 3 cans of food

we'll see how it goes. I'm sure I'll have fun.

 

[riverc0il]

Ouch, can good drive day as well? If they can get the Barker Quad open and have at least Punch and Right Stuff open T2B, I will go. We'll see how the snow making efforts go. It would be nice to have another area or two open to relieve the crowds.

Making snow on Risky busines, t2, upper and lower punch, xtc and right stuff from what i can see. Jungle road I would guess as well. Not sure if they will be t2b or not, but my guess is at some point along the weekend you won't have to walk much. $25 ticket with 3 cans of food. Better than $39 1/2 day ticket furthur west. You get to help a good casue and ski cheap. Crowds will be mellow. next weekend is the big weekend.

edit upper cascades too. My guess is just before turkey day for that.

I may be up Sunday... I want to be... but I probably shouldn't be (for various reasons).

If I go, I'll be on the lookout for people.

Temperatures should be ideal WJ. They should get things happenning on another trail or two...(Highly Wishful Thinking). Thought that my tweaked AT liners...with transplanted downhill tongues...were going to hold & let me ski this wkend/next wk....., but the liner-tweaking just went south...leaving me with a squished left foot no matter what I've tried = new(better) liner now on order = guess I'm not skiing for a little bit....:angry:

Thought that my tweaked AT liners...with transplanted downhill tongues...were going to hold, but the required sewing on my over-funked-out liner for my slightly-higher-volume foot just went south...leaving me with a squished forefoot no matter what I've tried = new(better) liner now on order.

I know... which is why I want to go.

All the reasons for me NOT to go have nothing to do with skiing, unfortunately.

Wasn't planning on heading up but now I'm jonesin big time. Can't decide between Sat or Sun and our ski house doesn't open up til next week so I think I might head up tomorrow and sleep in my van Sat night. Anyone know of any good places to park where I can get a restful night sleep without getting harassed?

Sleeping in van, down by the [Sunday] River?

The ghost of Chris Farley may be able to help.

Sunday? Carpool?

 

[WJenness]

Sunday? Carpool?

Doubtful...

But I'll let you know tonight / tomorrow.

I've got a couple things in the air I've got to shake out before I figure out where I'm at and what I'm doing for the weekend.

Are any other areas besides River and K going to open tomorrow?

:lol: I didn't even think of that when I wrote it.

Boooo, wish I could, but heading down to Massachusetts to have an early Thanksgiving dinner with my folks. But I will be there on Monday, and Loon Tuesday for their opening day. In which by typing that I just jinxed everyone......

Think you might be ok in the Irving station lot, just outside Bethel...towards the Access Road. Used to hang to catch a quick nap, then coffee...for a while in the late Friday afternoons before heading back to Boston(90s) to work wkends. They're still 24hr....and have never heard of anyone hassled...fwiw.

I might be up for tomorrow. Depends on if Sugarloaf is up and running or not. If they are a open, I might head up there.

According to FB, they'll have the SuperQuad and Tote Road open tomorrow.

Any reports from today? Can we expect anything besides T2 and Punch T2B? Can they get more terrain open with blowing all night? When did the guns get turned off today? How were the crowds due to the canned drive and limited terrain?
