Getting a leanto?

Getting a leanto?

Nope. Eatskisleep will probably only go up one day and I'll hike up both days. Probably only at Tucks one day though since I hate people.

I'm doing the ski leg of the Inferno on 4/19.

One question as I have yet to do it. Do folks think it is easier to skin up rather than hike up to Hojos. I'm usually with other hikers so i have never skinned it, but have skinned (on tele gear) several times. But this year I'm considering skiining, but need to save my legs for the "race".

I hear they're not too crazy about you either

Talking about doing Tux in three weeks and here I am in the worst shape of my life. Due to some bad circumstances, by wife getting hurt, new job, quitting smoking a couple of years ago, my weight has gone to a record high, 255! Yes, I'm a fat f&$%. So today I started prep work for Tux with a 4 mile walk this morning. Still have three weeks to get in shape!

I hear ya! Care to share what you're doing to whip yourself back into shape?

I'd love to do a trip like this in a couple of years. Definitely not ready this year.

Just got it a 4 mile walk this morning and intend to do the same every day for the next 3 weeks. May increase distance or try to do more hill work. I did a lot of hiking last fall so even if the weight is up, I don't think it'll take much more to get back to it.

Once Tux is out of the way, I may start biking in the morning before work. That's what I've been doing the last few years.

That's what we did last year, Sherbourne (sic) was closed to skiing already. Would like to ski down, hope it's open the week I'm plannning on.

Skiing down is nice... Sometimes it's tough when it gets bumped up.. With a 50lb pound on my back.. I tend to break out the climbing poles for balance..

I've ridden from the the summit(parking lot) to the car before...

It doesn't really factor in on my decision though.. But it would be nice to skin up and ride down..

I saw a rider ripping through the woods with poles just recently. Looked pretty cool. Was it the AZ Sugarbush day maybe?

Cool... Maybe it was a TeleBoarder...

I only use poles when I'm weighed down ... It'[s weird...

Andy, I'm on the DL right now -- tagged a tree last weekend. I hope to be back on the slopes next week though. Anyway, if I go, I'll be up for the day only.

More like it! I'm busy gettin some gear together and getting in shape. I was kind of on the fence until you guys started edging me on at Sugarbush. So don't let me down! :smash: Oh, today I put in for a vacation day on the 25th
