RidgeRacer Posted September 5, 2016 Report Posted September 5, 2016 It's labor day. All downhill from here. What the hell are you all doing this season? Will likely take it really slow at first. Focused on getting my kids out as much as possible since my dumbass got hurt and ruined their season last year. I'd be happy with 25 to 30 days at Blue and a few days west of the Mississippi. Location TBD. You? 1 Quote
poconoceancity Posted September 5, 2016 Report Posted September 5, 2016 I'm planning an early hunter trip if they open before BB. JFBB all of dec, Jan and February. Mount snow in April if we have a real winter and they stay open. I'd like to get 50ish days in this season. Quote
Shadows Posted September 5, 2016 Report Posted September 5, 2016 Went into nestors the other day to see if they wanted pre opening windows done. Nope Quote

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted September 5, 2016 Report Posted September 5, 2016 Gonna ski a lot. 1 Quote
poconoceancity Posted September 5, 2016 Report Posted September 5, 2016 Yea ridge, I'm really looking forward to this season. Lodging is so cheap and having passes makes it totally worth it. Quote
Barb Posted September 5, 2016 Report Posted September 5, 2016 Day/weekend trips in cheapie hotels in Winter Park. Already bought tickets to the ski train for a day. Thinking Crested Butte house will be completed Februaryish. Eldora still on my pass this year so I am sure a decent number of my days will be there since its so convenient. 2 Quote
toast21602 Posted September 5, 2016 Report Posted September 5, 2016 Blue. Trip out west at some point. 1 Quote

NMSKI Posted September 5, 2016 Report Posted September 5, 2016 The regular Blue routine, get the kids out some, 4-5 days at Taos, 1 or 2 at Wolf Creek or SSF depending on conditions. Hopeful for either a VT late season thing or maybe a couple more days west in early April. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote
moe ghoul Posted September 5, 2016 Report Posted September 5, 2016 Got my pass for Smuggs, I plan to get a few Stowe day passes so I can spend a day or 2 skiing both sides up and down, Jay, Blue and storm chase if something presents itself early season. Maybe Ullrfest at Magic on the 22nd, and a trip to Magic under new ownership this season, maybe. It's tough to drive 3 hours south once I'm up north. Since last winter sucked so hard on the EC, it has to be a better season this year. 2 Quote
Ride Delaware ? Posted September 6, 2016 Report Posted September 6, 2016 I'll do the typical routine. Ski patrol at the Bush. Post 30 + days at that. Hopefully snag a VT 3 pass on Oct. 1 to hit some other mountains on the relative cheap. Plan to hit K late Oct/early Nov per usual. Also hope to go out west for a week since I missed last year. All of it is weather dependent. Had a down year last year with the weather being so bad. "Only" put in 60 days. 1 Quote
momskeeztoo Posted September 6, 2016 Report Posted September 6, 2016 Skiing Blue during the week. Taking a break from Bear this year. Need to spend more time with family. Maybe Utah. If not Vermont... or maybe both. Hopefully better on east coast than last year 1 Quote
Ride Delaware ? Posted September 6, 2016 Report Posted September 6, 2016 I'd also like to make it to the Eastern Townships, but there's always more things I'd like to do than I can actually pull off. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted September 6, 2016 Report Posted September 6, 2016 I'd also like to make it to the Eastern Townships, but there's always more things I'd like to do than I can actually pull off. Maybe Elk mountain with Afroman..what a gem Quote
Ride Delaware ? Posted September 7, 2016 Report Posted September 7, 2016 Is that considered to also be an Eastern Township? Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted September 7, 2016 Report Posted September 7, 2016 Is that considered to also be an Eastern Township? No southern Vermont Quote
VTmark Posted September 7, 2016 Report Posted September 7, 2016 Normal Blue deal, and it looks like a trip to Steamboat March 10-17th 1 Quote
