When do you plan to start your season?

[4aprice]

Usually it would not be until Thanksgiving weekend or later but this year it should be earlier. Daughter is looking at Castleton State College and we will be attending a open house on Saturday November 20th. Assuming something will be open in S Vermont that weekend and not outragously priced for the amount of terrain open, I hope to start Sunday November 21st.

Looking for a reasonable WROD for around T-Day weekend. Will go earlier if weather permits. Refuse to pay full price, however...

I just want to bag an october day for the first time in years. other then that, skiing the north ridge area at killington will bore the snot out of me in about 2 hours. gotta do it once if they're open though.

Looking at Thanksgiving weekend as my opening. Possibly the weekend before, if weather and snow making cooperate.

It'll be a miracle if I get in a day before Christmas. I've come to the realization that the next two seasons are going to suck for me. Oh well.

I'll get one day in as soon as the first place opens just to get out (even if it is Rime about 30 times) then wait for Jay to get open. Not spending $40 for T2 for a 2nd early season day like last year. Was worth it once to get out, but that's it.

Hopefully in the next 10 days. Got an Oct Vacation day to burn. Well I can use it anytime, but October is when I want to use it.

Well, most of my equipment is at my friend's place at SR... so it makes sense for them to be open for me to get day 1...

This weekend won't be happening (if by some miracle SR / Kton were to open this weekend) as I've already got a couple sets of plans for Saturday, and my friend will be in Pittsburgh over the weekend...

Next weekend I'll be in FL for work (and bitter about that fact)...

The following weekend I've got a college fencing tournament to run on Saturday, and I'll probably take Sunday as a recovery day...

11/13 looks to be my target day at the moment...

Maybe Verterans' Day if there's something within 3 hrs.

Like many others...NOT interested in a $65 WROD.

Otherwise...Thanksgiving weekend.

 

[KingM]

Probably Thanksgiving-ish. Normally I wait until we're past the WROD stage, but I'm going to Snowbird around December 10, so I want to get a few days in first.

Whenever SR opens top to bottom. I didn't care for the Locke mountain downloading thing last year. Too many skiers and snowguns to dodge.

It was alot of fun. It was just nice being on snow again. Everyone you meet out there has a smile ear to ear. You go anyway from it with a good feeling.

I put together a little trip report here: http://www.nyskiblog.com/p/harvey-road-forum.html

Mattchuck has a more comprehensive one on the same page.

December.

Saving my money and time-off for April/May instead of burning them in Oct/Nov

Besides, cycling is still in full swing. So there's no space in my living room for skis. ;-)
