rummy

Rummy 68, Big Al 69, and Dad 70, are heading out to MT tomorrow on our 35th annual " StagTrip". This trip will complete our list of skiing the top 30 Western Resorts in the USA and Canada. The rankings are from readers of Ski Magazine several years ago and I'm sure have changed somewhat over the years. But anyway close enough... Overnight tonight at a "park and fly" hotel, then fly out of Dulles / Minneapolis / Kalispell. Rented a VRBO in Whitefish. Walking distance to bars, restaurants, grocery store and shuttle bus to the Mountain. No car necessary as transfers from/to airport are booked as well. Conditions are real nice ( not quite JH nice) and weather is good for next week with some snow, but mostly sunshine predicted. We got a real deal on lift tickets. Dad skis Free at 70, one week's pass comes with the rental, and an old phartz 4 of 6 day pass is $207. We'll split that $207 three ways at a cost of about $13.00 per ticket. I'll keep the crew posted.....

Elk says on this morning website report, they may close early due to high winds.. Lots of lake effect too.

Doesn't one have to die first? Just sayin....

About 1" now and still snowing at Elk... Unbelievable crowds today. Overflow parking lots completely full.. Big $$$ today... Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

I didn't hear any complaints about slow lifts from the Blue Crew last at Elk. BTW did anyone keep track of how many runs you took during that half day?

Eaf. Are you a professional photographer?,, If not, you could be...

Big Al definitely deserves a Shout Out he's always a big help. We're stoked that the Blue Crew had a Great Day and I hope it doesn't take years until you come back to Deep South Vermont [emoji41][emoji41] Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

I'll be parked in the 1st lot on the right as you pull in. Red Mazda.. 41° and a shower now at TLCITW, we just pulled in for the night. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Mon thru Friday are weekdays I'm pretty sure. Everything but Lehigh, which is only open with enough natural snow. I haven't been up all week but should be Spring conditions. They blew plenty of snow and I don't expect any bare spots.

Phillycore.... Do you want some chicken?... Not eating ribs right?

As soon as you get to parking lot, look for my red Mazda and I'll show you where to park. At that time of the morning you won't be able to miss me. What are you driving?

No need to, you'll be able to gear up and ski down to ticket window after meeting up Bummer.....

This is my plan, I'll be in a red Mazda CX5 in the parking lot. What time are you planning on arriving? Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Rummy's Ribs R Rubbed.... Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

What an awesome, awesome place! Great pictures make me wish I was there. Thanks eaf..

If you leave hungry ..... You Didn't Eat Enough Ribs!! ..... And Phillycore, I can easily throw in a chicken breast if you want, since you don't like bones.. For a real Elkaholic Experience you could try Chets Place, only a couple miles away from the mountain. Cheap beer, Good Burgers (Alice Burger) and other specials, pool table, and lots of locals flavor.. www.chetsplace.com. "Home of the ultimate Buzz" Lake Wallenpaupak is pretty far out of the way it you're using the NE extension of the turnpike...

My Big Buddy and assistant cook, Al will be there too. Yes, both Binghamton and Forest City are now calling for showers to end early morning. Partial clearing afterward. Spring Skiing.... The ribs will be rubbed tonight....

I bought the ribs yesterday, and am not calling a "salty"...... But, with a 70% chance of the R word, are there any thoughts of postponing this adventure to the land of Elkaholics?

Rummy (broken shoulder 2years ago, aching knee seems like forever).... Started when I was 30 and still love it!

That's the plan for next Friday.. the Semi-Secret half-way house Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
