Ride Delaware ? Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 Hard to believe that Killington could be open a month from now. Temperatures aren't trending that way as quickly as they should, but that can change week to week. I heard that the leaves are really popping. Peak leaf season will come early this year with all the rain and relatively chilly summer weather. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ride Delaware ? Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 Thanks for the leaf update RideDEIve really lost touch with the Leaf Peepers Association of America over the past few years, but due to my extensive field research early in my career, they offered me a lifetime membership and I still get insider info from my friends at the regional office. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) Hoping to take advantage of the fact that 5th graders ski free program in CO is not blacked out over winter break. And that I have enough Frontier miles for 2.5 round trips. Had been planning on waiting til they were more advanced for CO, but this deal could be too hard to pass up. Plus they are kind of Been There Done That on New England after making it to Snow, Bromley and Bush last year. Will have to find a sitter for one day they are out there so I can do some real skiing too Also thinking of heading there myself the weekend before turkey. May not make for my most affordable per day season ever, but I sent my last Alimony payment a few weeks ago which frees up the Ski budget a bit.

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 Congrats on being free of alimony payments. In Colorado an option would be to put your girls in ski school for some of the trip to allow you to ski independently or go with another family and take turns with the kids. Do you use a frontier credit card? I almost have enough United miles for two round trip domestic flights or one roundtrip to Europe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFskiDan Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 Leaves are falling like crazy in the Poconos. Early, it seems. Kinda odd, it was chilly over labor day, then went back to summer. Suck it summer. bring on fall. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) Yep use Frontier CC. Got 40k miles when I signed up and am now over 100k. And good idea to give them some ski school there to learn a bit about skiing those conditions.

RidgeRacer Posted October 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 I know it's utter bullshit (Utah gets pooped on as always) but its an obligatory reminder that ski season is coming.

Sadly long range for Colorado is warmer but cold enough at night for snowmaking at abasin and Loveland. Probably be a white ribbon of death at both areas by late October.
