Ride Delaware ?

But it's not, or at least the grooming isn't...

My fault... I thought that was the "bomb shelter." I guess nothing was done. I always thought the valley lodge was in worse shape and deserved an upgrade first...

That lodge definitely needed upgrades. Glad to see them. Both lodges done in two years. Now they need some summer activities to put these to good use...

Definitely not worth the drive for that... The capacity on the NRT is next to nothing... I'd wait it out a week if the jonesing allows...

Everyone should for The time you've put into getting their discount lol

Interview followed by the WFR class... Thanks!!!

Word on the street is that upper elevations in the NE could see some snow tonights as temps drop...

Sweet!!! I just got to SR... No snow, but with a low of 27 tomorrow night, they may do a test... Season is right around the corner...

Fried food is bad for you, but fried Oreos taste so good... Definitely a step in the wrong direction lol

If we have an opening up north by the first week in November I'll be excited... Does SR have Halloween in them again?

What about the playoffs in October/November? And spring snow?

I'm thinking that by the end of my class on the 25th, the leaves should be real colorful in Maine...

I'll be able to give you guys an update when I'm up there, but has anybody been north of PA lately? How's the foliage looking up there? I'm hoping there is some decent color while I am up there...

Even early season isn't that great... I went 06-07 before X-Mas, which was a warm year, but they only had 32 trails open... K-Mart had 47 or so, but Okemo's was more spread out, and that's why we went there... It was shitty everywhere lol

Agreed... That in itself gives me the chills...

It really depends on when end of December is to you... If your talking Christmas week, then everywhere will be a cluster fuck... I have been to Killington numerous times before X-Mas, and I can say from experience that they usually open a fair amount of beginner and intermediate terrain first to appease families after the holidays... That being said, there is still a great deal that is congested, although I had heard they were working on some of these problem areas this off season... Killington also has one of the most powerful snowmaking systems around... If there is cold weather, they will consistently have the most terrain... However, Okemo is an excellent beginner intermediate mountain... You'll get bored in a couple days, but they have great snowmaking and lift infrastructure... Also not busy the week before X-Mas...

Vinny, when is late December for you? I usually go to K-Mart the week before X-Mas and it's generally fairly good... I went in 08 and the whole mountain was open and they had just received 24" of pow... 09 and 10 were typical years with about 70-80 trails with some natural snowfall... I get pretty lucky with the weather during that annual trip... There is also next to no crowds and pretty decent lodging and ski packages... I usually score 5 days and nights for about $400...

If your going to be the big Steeze, then you could always get someone new lol... How many employees you have?

That's what happens to me after this year... What about your office manager? It sounded like you were her bitch already? When do the roles reverse?

I'll still be doing some work... Reviewing documents and tax prep... But all stuff I can do on the Internet...

It's just the place I wanted to go... Are there better? Yes... I'm not denying that... That's just where I wanted to go... If I'm lucky we will get a condo or something at the Bush and then I will get the goods... Going anywhere will be a win for me!!!

If I don't score a job at SR (I'm pretty sure I will and I should know within the next two weeks), then I'm aiming for like 40 days... If I score this job, I should get 80 days just from working... It would be nice if I could get to 95 or 100...

I may have to look into that next year if I am planning on hitting up Platty...

Reports of the first snowfall at a couple ski resorts are in... Winter Park and A Basin received a dusting on the upper portions of the mountain early this morning...

He is too busy in Germany picking up his new BMW to bother himself with trivial picture deletion...
