i'm up tommorrow from 8-10ish then down to Jordan Park in Atown for an mtb ride - a twofer / cali day woot! it's a casual paced group valleymountianbikers (bikevmb.com) ride if anyone wants to join
I was up this morning - the first one scanned in at 7:57 after picking up my season pass. I don't know what all the whining about conditions is for, they were ok until right before 10 but it was raining and foggy. lower main ALWAYS seems to have the worst snow quality, not sure if its the guns there or the way it sits in that gulley that the fog gets it?!?!? i thought the top half of main was actually pretty good and was holding up well even at 10 when i left. the bumps were fun, soft and medium/small - spent most of my 12 runs there with 3 down come around - snow seemed fine on come around and midway...gotta love skiing in the november rain
after college i lived in new rochelle ny and had a little drivers license "issue". i used to take the commuter train with all my ski sh!t up to to poughkipsie or kingston where my buddy would pick me up. he lived in saugerties just before the windy road up to hunter...what a blast!
i don't, last year on thursday nights nastar glenn and i talked about it and thought that racing might be even more fun if we knew what the f*3k we were doing - i learned olds kool ankles together skiing which doesn't work very well on the gates so i figured if nothing else i'll learn how to get more carve out of my sidecut and have another night on the hill - sign up it'll be a hoot
regular family vt trip, whiteface, greek peak, a commando vt storm chase, gonna try to hit tuckerman
camelback, bb, maybe sno, mayb huntah or bellayre
no west trip this year again
last spring one run - i think it was rocket - was pretty moguled up, and the top headwall was pretty steep to boot. much more difficult than barneys at blue. the only thing about barneys is the length - i'm usually suckking wind pretty hard halfway down
aw man...wegmans was beat, just a few chubby lehigh chicks..oh well got my kashi. i hope they replay these again , i guess i gotta bump my cable package this month.
yea kinda sucks about the blackout days, the other change this year is no sat/sun nights, you used be able to use them after 4 on weekends....
still a pretty decent deal though
