When will you start your ski season???

[2knees]

I usually go to Okemo that weekend but they weren't top to bottom yet..Skiing is skiing though..even with 5,000 people

i did it once. never again. its not about what you (or i) can avoid, its who has you in their crosshairs. at least thats how i felt.

After seeing pictures like this on riverc0il's site I don't think I'd ever go to Killington early season...

Haha..human Slalom course..that looks like a typical day at Blue mountain...when it's that crowded it's tough for me to ski the way I like to...I've gotten good at Olly-ing over peoples skis though..lol

I'll be skiing as soon as mother nature submits to my will.

Probably on my first day off work after Nov. 10th at Belleayre, as long as any trail bigger than the bunny hill is open. But if something within about 2 1/2 hours opens earlier I'll go there.

I think this about sums it up:

(Sign #1,243 of skiing withdrawal: you stop dreaming about a foot of powder and start dreaming about a light dusting on grass.)

I thought I was a die-hard skier until I saw that picture..now I feel like Big Vert...lol

Ummm, that's a light crowd for a place like Camelback.

That might be me in my backyard if I get desperate.

Just as soon as someone within driving distance starts spinning a lift on a weekend! Probably mid Nov at SR. But you never know, someone could get good weather early and surprise us! (I hope)

1st weekend day the River is open I would guess.

 

[danny p]

friday after thanksgiving has begun my season for the last 10 years....2-3 of those years were at Hunter I believe, and the last 7 have been at Killington. Crowds don't scare me off, just a big slalom course as someone else said.

 

[WWF-VT]

First weekend in December is my usual start

 

[tree_skier]

I may hike for some early turns but deffinatly as soon as they let me on Sneaux

 

[jimskime]

Opening day at Sugarloaf or Sunday River if it's earlier

 

[BushMogulMaster]

Early October at Loveland. Not sure of the exact date yet.

 

[millerm277]

Whenever Hunter opens, possibly earlier if K gets going with more than one path.

The long range forecast shows snowmaking temps for Northern New England later next week..maybe a little marketing snowmaking to blow the mice out of the guns..

I'll likely wait until Jan. I may hit a small local hill in Dec. but Dec. 20th would put me only 9 months removed from ACL replacement, just about on the fringe. If it dumps early, I'll be more likely to do some Nordic to keep strengthening the leg.
