Your MLK 2025 Ski Plans

[thetrailboss]

Figured I'd ask the question. Any big trips? Just doing the routine? We have our daughter's first volleyball tournament on Friday and Saturday. I'm doing Alta on Monday for sure, maybe Sunday too. If I can, I will sneak up to Brighton for a night session on Saturday. So staying local here. In years past we have gone to MT to see friends.

Usually try to avoid MLK weekend. But I am really hoping we get a storm this weekend so I can test the theories 1) with new quad, Magic won’t have lift lines and 2) with the time I’ve spent in the woods clearing glades, I won’t run out of pow lines.

Magic could also use a big holiday weekend business wise after last year, and all the money spent recently. Fingers crossed.

The PCMR Local Kid's clinics don't skip MLK weekend (though they bump us from Saturday to Monday), so cant really go anywhere. Was thinking about trying Cross Country skiing that Saturday, I've never dont it & neither has my little one, but my wife grew up doing it in n.VT. Could be fun I think? Or not. lol

Not sure I'd count on that. But if you can stay in n.VT and ski southern Canada (Mont Sutton, etc...) it's not a holiday there are will be like any old weekend.

My wife is doing a women's clinic up in PC at White Pine. She really likes it. She got new XC skis. She did not renew her Alta pass though. So that means a lot of solo skiing for me.

Where do they take them for that, the golf course?

Yep. I don't know if the other track is open yet. It was not last weekend.

Fingers crossed this big storm hits and maybe someplace like Magic will be in prime shape by Monday.

In a season where I'm not going to get my regular amount of days, I'm going opposite of what would normally be and heading north for MLK weekend. Most likely a day at Stratton and 1 at Killington.

Wouldn’t ski that weekend if Dr. King himself invited me.

I don't think that Dr. King was a skier.....

Sat and Sun are usually a shitshow, but I've skied on the holiday Monday several times and been surprised at how quiet it ends up being. I'm sure a lot of people don't actually have it off.

I work on Saturdays so don't have to worry about that. I'm thinking next weekend I'll be happy to watch football on Sunday and then take a day trip Monday (maybe an overnight if I have Tuesday off, sometimes tough to get at work after a holiday weekend).

Heading to Alberta and BC Friday for 10 days. Starting in Banff for the weekend. Hitting KH Monday, Revelstoke Tuesday-Friday, Friday-Sunday either back in Banff or may hit Panorama. If we feel more adventurous we will make the trek to Castle to wrap up the trip.

 

[ColdRain&Snow]

Blacked out sat/sun, planning on thurs/fri/mon.

I’m gearing up to play a semi local open mic on that Sunday.

 

[Smellytele]

Xcountry hopefully Sunday. Stay at mt Washington Sunday night. Skiing black Monday. May swap those around not sure yet.

We have skied Stowe on 4 or 5 MLK weekends, Saturday and Sundays are usually not too bad due to the blackout days, Mondays are dead. I remember skiing MRG on a Saturday over MLK weekend one year and it was surprisingly not very busy either, was actually kind of shocked.

In any event my son and I are heading up to Killington over the weekend and we my do a day trip up to Sugarbush on Sunday. The conditions this weekend are shaping up to be great. It looks like it's going to be too cold for rain to wash anything out.

Alta

 

[machski]

Up at the River, may venture off a day on Indy but given lack of terrain at the close by ones, could be SR all weekend given they will be close to 100% snowmaking terrain by then.

 

[snoseek]

I work Friday through Sunday but probably get the 815 tram at cannon of I can get my ass out of bed

 

[oldfartrider]

Last year I went to Tremblant. I’ll never make that mistake again lol. Enormous lines!
