At the Days Inn Rutland nights of Dec 4 and Dec 5. Hope to get some skiing in before then though.

Sunday River was open don't know if they are staying open. But they aren't closer.

Frontier from Philly

Divorced

Don't know where I am staying but got plane tix. 167 rt

600 feet of vertical opening. Not worth the drive.

If I go for the K it will be driving up the 23rd and skiing and driving back the 24th. Just made plans to leave for Jamaica on the 25th.

You heard it first here

Not doing Europe now. Am talking with some folks about possibly doing it in Feb when it will be more worthwhile. If I get in any Oct turns I expect it will be Killington. No firm source on Killington but there are a lot of people chattering on Alpinezone forum about it. Sunday River is the only place that has made an announcement. Who wants to carpool to Killington the weekend of 24th to 25th if they open? Isn't there some budget ski hostel up there?

Sounds like Sunday River is opening Monday and Wildcat and Killington are also considering October openings

Ordered today still works. Thanks.

Great place to teach kids to ski. Wonderful Sunday nj ight deal and we found a great instructor there 2 years ago. Now they are past it.

Pretty good amount of vaca time, but don't know how they are about actually taking it and would rather be nose to the grindstone a bit when I start rather than coming in asking about scheduling vacation.

Ok sounds like Zermatt or stay home then. Any thoughts on what they or others in the Alps have to offer this early?

Yeah may decide it's not worth it. But speculating is entertaining and building the stoke. Picked up my kids season rentals, dropped of my skis for a tune, and ordered the Mountain sports premium membership with 2 shawnee tix for 55 this weekend.

OTOH could likely get to Denver on Frontier frequent flier miles, get a cheap lodging deal at A-B this time of year, and spend a lot less time in transit. Not yet sure what the week will be so I will see how this unfolds and check conditions and price it out then.

Going to have a week off between jobs in late October I would like to take advantage of. May see how much Zermatt would set me back. Never skied in the Alps.

So if you were looking to fly somewhere to ski in mid to late October, what would be the best bet. Seems like A-Basin is projecting mid October opening, but I am guessing somewhere in Europe would be the real deal.

I doubt it. Certainly fewer distinct top to bottom runs.

Nice plan. They want to challenge c back for "horizontal" Anyone got the full view of that plan and a bit higher res?

Are we getting that open to start the season? Or when? Any other new developments for this year?

Was up there for Peach Music Fest this weekend and did all the Waterpark attractions too. Good time.

Don't blame me, I skied more days than any previous year and gave 2 members of the next generation the bug too. Didn't pay squat for it, but at least we added to total ski visits. 21 for me 10 for one kid and 11 for the other. So I added 42 to the total count, 40 of them in PA. Also threw a birthday party that got 10 kids into snow tubes.

I have a hotel room 3 hours south of Killington for a work thing Monday, so going there would only add about 6 hours of driving which is not too crazy. Gonna see what they have open and what conditions are. I'll do some bumps but I'm not an expert in them, more someone who makes it through them without a lot of grace, so I won't ski them all day. Only when I'm talking about her in the context of the kids, otherwise it's usually "my ex"

They spend alternate weeks with their mom so it is about 50/50 whether I ski solo or with kids. If I am with kids it is usually with both, though there was one exception this year.
