of guns just fired up at Yawgoo Valley....how do I know...

Cause I can hear em!!! (I'm about 1/4 mile away as the crow flies)

The battle is on, who opens first wa wa or lil ol Yawgoo?

my money is on Yawgoo a little snow on the ground from last night's clipper and snowmaking snow will stick nice and 240 vert not a lot to cover

Planning wa wa Sunday for day 1 with the fam and maybe a couple epic bear buds...perhaps a couple laps at the ol goo first?

We must live pretty close to each other, we live about 3/4 mile up the road from mighty Yawgoo. We walked out dogs up the slopes yesterday. It was clear the guns were ready to go as soon as the temps were sufficient.

Yep, RISkier, I've seen some good stuff you've posted here and I believe on epicski too? PM me either here or on epic(I mostly lurk here-epic might be better) maybe we can hook up and make some turns.....I do quite a bit of mid week day skiing and half day w/e skiing at wa, (tix much cheaper with the AAA deal) bout 20 days last year at wa for me I think.....couple epicski barking bear buds joined in quite a bit last year, prior to meeting bears I solo'd at wa quite a bit....there were trip reports on epicski about our mini gatherings at wa last year. We really had a blast when we hooked up.....

I taught skiiing at yawgoo most of the 90's, had season pass before that. Now that I have to pay for it don't go over much....tho I did go several times last year in the evening after the crowds cleared out to just run laps on yellow jacket....if max gets yellow jacket open I might head over, going to Celtics game tomorrow nite....maybe Friday...

I live near URI

My wife and I would be pleased to make some turns with you and bassist286. We're mostly limited to weekends and seem to go more often on Sundays than Saturdays cause crowds seem smaller. I'll pm both you and bassist my email.

Cool sneak, I'll drop you a pm re wa sched...

BTW I read your intro....Yawgoo is always hunting new patrollers or instructors....I could hook you up with a refrl if you like...that way you could do the goo free :)
