Who's getting out this weekend?

[loafer89]

Yes it does....I thought I was going to pass out on Fri.

I thought I was going to do that after hitting the tree

Had stopped to take a picture at Sugarbush. Felt a few drops. Looked behind me and :-o saw a wall of water coming toward me.

I ski pretty fast, but not as fast as I would have liked. :roll:

Then there was the thin cover I'd been taking a picture of, which I now had to negotiate. :blink:

I was soaked by the time I made it back down,

Back out tomorrow, tho.

No closures due to lightning?

I smacked my first tree ever on Monday at Snowbird. Came off the end of the run and didn't realize how big the lip to the traverse was. Clipped the tree, spun me around, ski came off...ouch.

im so sore from 1/2 size volkswagon slush bumps

Actually, they did shut down the lifts for a while. Nobody saw any lightning, but they had heavy lightning forecasts and shut them down just in case. (Saw one of the top lift ops looking carefully at the horizon.)

They opened them back up within a fairly short time, but everything I was wearing was soaked.

Well, considering in the weather, no crowds, and what it could've been like, it was great!:lol:

I hit Burke today...depressing because it was their last day, and also because the place was not in good shape. They got hit hard this weekend....again for the umpteenth time this season :roll: And now that they are closed, snow is in the forecast. :x

 

[riverc0il]

Boy Riv, you've really lost your memory as of late! :wink:

Burke, on average, goes until the second weekend of April, weather permitting. They usually open early-mid December.

2005-2006 Season
December 10th until early April

well, they closed on march 31st 100% open in 2002, that i have documented, and certainly weather was permitting in that case at 100% open. second week in april, though? are you sure boss? that is longer than cannon is usually open, i'd like to see some exact dates on that as my memory definitely differs and i don't think its cause i lost it...

Hunter was awesome yesterday.. A bit sloppy but on a snowboard it was no problem.. Lots of bumps - tight and cruising.. Easly in the day - EVERYTHING was corned out.. sublime....

Ran into KingSlug and made some turns with him until he fell and separated his shoulder(again)... He popped it back in and had to quit..

Rode until the lifts stopped... Epic - sunny - day...!

I recall skiing at Burke in early April 2002. I say that because I came back home from Scotland for break and skied there.

It has been pretty consistent--first or second weekend in April. And I have their website quote there to back it up. :wink:

They used to "close" and then reopen for a "free day" before closing for good as well....
