It's on Saturday May 21st. I'm tossing this in here...will probably be going and dragging Ms. Trailboss so that we can help out. Clean up the mtn and earn a free day ticket!

Anyone else want to join?

Sounds like a good idea! I'm going to ask some friends.

I might do this also. I love getting the kids into good environment things. TB maybe girls scouts could do this. :idea:

Good call. E-Mail sent to Ms. Trailboss :wink:

I have to check this out a bit more. Would anyone want to join me to repesent the board at this? My wife is bringing this up in a meeting tonight to maybe get a group together with the girls scouts. I have to check the callender, but looks like I'm in. Be a good way to see the gang one more time in the spirt of winter and taken care of Mother Earth. Maybe a short hike after. :idea:

 

[thetrailboss]

This is still on....sounds like fun! Anyone want to do a hike afterwards?

 

[Vortex]

I would really like to see kids involved with this. Bring your kids. I'm bringing mine. Maybe our kids can become buddies also. Depending on who comes and how many.. a hike will happen. I know cause I'm hiking. Come on gang. Good for the envoronment and you get fed and free ski tickets. Ya

I've mentioned it to some fellow teachers that Ski/Hike and they seem interested as well. My only reservation is that it's a long drive from where I live. We'd have to stay over in town. Putting the feel good reasons for going aside, is it economical to drive (gas, tolls, wear on car) then rent a room for a free day of skiing? If I do go, it's strickly for the feel good reasons....and of course to chill with some AZers.

Do you have any friends in the Worcester, Ma area?

If not, it costs $50 per day to ski Wachusett, so that is the value of the ticket.

I try to keep as little Red Sox Fans as friends as possible. :wink: Actually ... I have some friends in Weymouth .... is that anywhere close? It might end up being a wash for the tickets. A nice day of hiking and cleaning for the free tickets. I'll break even.

I believe it is in the general neighborhood.

I find that meeting new folks is always worth the drive :wink:

I think without traffic a little under an hour. About 20 min south of Boston on rt 3.

Earthday Cleanup @ Wachusett

Hey...Sky from Wa here. YO! TB...I finally joined AZ after reading this thread (after using the link you posted in Wa's forum...thanks).

re: Weymouth to Wa is probably 1-1/2 hours...maybe more. Tough travel because your going Northwest. You end up "stair-stepping", West, North, West, North etc.

Worcester is very close...20 minutes? For those interested in staying the night...Wachusett Village Inn (just a few minutes north on Rt140/Rt2), you can probably get a good deal. They are associated with the ski area. Call them @ 978-874-2000.

The event is a good take, and a good thing to do. Involving the scouts sounds smart. Wear something on your feet that's either OK to get wet...or provides some level of protection from wet ground. There will be plenty of dry ground, but the area around the bases of the slopes will be "soft".

Hope for a slight breeze to keep the bugs in check. Nothing a little Skintastik (or "OFF" or whatever) can't handle.

HEH....we'll talk later. *smirk* Thanks for the welcoming post.

But with the ski season coming to an end...and the Wa Forum slowing down...and with TrailBoss's recent participation @ Wa...I figured I check in and see how this feels.

Well, things were pretty hot yesterday. The hiking room will be warming up as well...why not get your rock skis out for one more outing with us to either Killington or Ski Maynia?

Rock Skis

Trying to get a handle on "replies" etc.

Anyway, I'm done...as much as I'd love to hit Wildcat next week (wife and daughter have vaca).

I've got way too much to do around the house.

Spoke to Cubco this AM about his trip to Tucks and the Cat. Very tempting. PLUS! Your photos of your trip to Cannon were...inspiring to say the least.

I need to get on the bike, in the canoe...in the yard with a rake...*sigh*...but skiing is closed out for me. I'm very happy with the season. No regrets! The new gear put me over the top for "enjoyment" this year. TIme to move on with spring/summer events...and prep for next season to be even better.

Feel free to post any question in the Site Feedback & Help forum. There are many members willing to help. No question is a dumb one. Learning all the forum function can take a bit of time.

I'll probably contact the Boss for a tutorial when I have the time.

I'll consider getting photo under my handle as I get more comfortable with the functions.
