RootDKJ Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 59 days until Black Friday. Time to get serious. Should we have a seperate pre-season training and diet thread? I'm off the the gym for 30 minutes on the dreadmill before "work". I will be back later tonight for legs strength training drills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter to me as long as I can make turns.Your best bet may be Belleayre again if they stick to a semi aggressive snowmaking strategy. They don't seem to be projecting the early November opening anymore, but they have been aiming for T-Day the past couple years. Hunter seems to have gone the way of Powdr's Killington. They haven't really pushed the past couple years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Root you're the only person I know who trains for ski season...I'm ready to ski tomorrow and get in some hyper carving. I adjust my workouts in August every year with ski season in mind. Lots more squats and lunges. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ride Delaware ? Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 First official winter storm of the season has been named. The storm is named Atlas, and the bulk of the snow will hit Wyoming. Johnny Law is usually up on this a little more than me, but does anyone know why temps have been so mild here and continue to look that way for the 10 day? Its 5 degrees or more above average for both highs and lows in the majority of the Northeast, including ski region. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet stream is riding kind of high so lots of warm air from the south west is flooding the region. Beyond that I don't know probably oscillation stuff but I haven't really been looking.

Ride Delaware ? Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 You would think that as long as the temperatures are cold, Tahoe is usually a decent bet early season since most of their resorts have decent snowmaking firepower.

Ride Delaware ? Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Northstar had about 20 runs open all covered by snowmaking when I was there XMAS of 2011..other Tahoe resorts had less terrain open. Ride have u skied in Tahoe before? No, and I doubt I ever will. I made that assumption based on stats, so I wouldn't be surprised if the reality is much different.

RidgeRacer Posted October 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Three years ago Tahoe got pounded before x mas. Of course it turned to cement by the time I got there but mostly everything was open at Squaw 2 weeks before Christmas. He won't be in PA so he'll be fine. Why wouldn't u visit Tahoe??? You're rich u should hop on a plane sometime. Maybe he's afraid to fly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicSkier Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 A friend booked a villa at the base of Heavenly's gondola. Haven't skied in the Lake Tahoe area...should be fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride Delaware ? Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Why wouldn't u visit Tahoe??? You're rich u should hop on a plane sometime.As you well know, just because you work in the family business, doesn't mean your rich. Your several years older than me, and a couple years ago you were still talking about juggling your expenses to see which trips you were going to take. Maybe things have changed for you, but I'm still in the same boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride Delaware ? Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 This girl I met asked me if I've ever been snowmobiling before....I never have been before...I think I might add it to my bucket list...maybe Park Cr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toast21602 Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 hopefully there is at least some snow there when you get out. Regardless, sounds like it will be a good time. Start training for the Monday night race league! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride Delaware ? Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Maybe I haven't been there since 2010...what about u...are u gonna ski Stowe..it ain't Sunday River or even Killington but decent for the east. Â Jeff's Dad bought him a ski simulator. It's quite expensive, but if there is a good early season day, or a discount, or a patrol day, I'll give it a shot. You've talked it up so much that I have to give it a shot at least one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride Delaware ? Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 It is the best in the east....go when everything is open.Whew... I was afraid the Steaux fandom was a thing of the past.
