Johnny Law Posted August 30, 2007 Report Posted August 30, 2007 I remember watching those videos. The UVM crew charged hard. I think they all moved out there last season, but how many of them actually stayed for this season to? As far as a big trip. It's hard to organize something like that. I'd be all for it, but getting a set week in is hard between people in school and peoples jobs. It's funny that you say the EC'ers just explode when they get out there because a local i talked to in one of the Shops in teton village said the same thing. I don't know how many stayed but I still think people visit places like Jackson and then just move there. I know one is still in Teton village. I think our motivation is just totally different, you feel like I have to give 200% because this is going to end soon and I don't want to go home without having done some stuff. I remember when I moved out to UT I had to keep telling myself to slow down or I was going to kill myself in a week. I don't know about the specifics of a trip I was just saying maybe a get together would be cool, the Knob would be awsome if it was the right day. Quote
method9455 Posted September 18, 2007 Report Posted September 18, 2007 I'm putting my $0.02 on Mount Snow this year. Killington did confirm they were not opening until Nov 17th at the earliest. Worse they said they would close on April 15th. The last 5 years they closed on May 6, May 1, May 15, May 12. May 26. For opening it was Nov 23, Oct 29, Nov 9, Nov 10, Nov 6. They basically took their last season and cut it 2 weeks shorter, and that was already the shortest season in the last 5 years. Oh yea they also canceled all lifetime season passes. Fuck those guys I'm not going to K-mart this year. Quote
rgrwilco Posted September 18, 2007 Author Report Posted September 18, 2007 im putting my money on sugarloaf this year. theres no way mt snow can open before them, lower elevation and latitude. and yes killington is lame this year. ive only ever went there for early/late season or unless there was a really good reason to. a ton of resorts are going to stay open much longer than killington this year.

snowboarddude Posted October 1, 2007 Report Posted October 1, 2007 my guess is in the end of nov. beginning of december it will start snowing!!! i also think that mountains will start blowing snow when the low temps are in the mid 20's!! Quote
snowboarddude Posted October 1, 2007 Report Posted October 1, 2007 my guess would be killington will start blowing snow first Quote
rgrwilco Posted October 2, 2007 Author Report Posted October 2, 2007 my guess would be killington will start blowing snow first wanna bet money on that? Quote

Dan- Posted October 4, 2007 Report Posted October 4, 2007 Killy already announced there not opening until a certain date. So i'd bet they are out already. Im going with Sugarloaf to probably open first. Quote
snowboarddude Posted October 4, 2007 Report Posted October 4, 2007 your probly right... i hate how most big mountains do that Quote
Dan- Posted October 4, 2007 Report Posted October 4, 2007 your probly right... i hate how most big mountains do that Only reason for killly to do it now is because of new ownership. Powdr is not a fan of early/late season. Quote
Schif Posted October 4, 2007 Report Posted October 4, 2007 Killy already announced there not opening until a certain date. So i'd bet they are out already. Im going with Sugarloaf to probably open first. And what date is that? PSSC is having a trip the first weekend of December. If thats going to be the first weekend for them I might skip the trip and put the money towards one over winter break. Quote

Im not sure on the exact date, i read it alittle while ago, but it was towards the end of november. Quote
k2wwwkid Posted October 4, 2007 Report Posted October 4, 2007 i think that killington will most likely open up first Quote
rgrwilco Posted October 4, 2007 Author Report Posted October 4, 2007 killingtons season now consists of set dates due to pwdr owning the place. november 15th-april 15th i believe. give or take a few days on each date. Quote

Thats doable for me. Its just hard to justify me spending a ton of money and close to 20 hours on a bus for a few icy ribbons of death. I guess I'm just a little scared after last year when they closed a day on us. Quote
snowboarddude Posted October 5, 2007 Report Posted October 5, 2007 if we keep up the weather we have been having i don't think that anyone will win that bet anyways haha i hate global warming Quote
Dan- Posted October 5, 2007 Report Posted October 5, 2007 if we keep up the weather we have been having i don't think that anyone will win that bet anyways haha i hate global warming Winter is coming don't worry. Im not ready for it yet anyway. Gotta heal up, still get more gear and there are still trails to be ridden. Quote
rgrwilco Posted October 5, 2007 Author Report Posted October 5, 2007 if we keep up the weather we have been having i don't think that anyone will win that bet anyways haha i hate global warming last october was colder, and look at how the season started. weather is a strange thing young lad. but the lack of arctice ice in the oceans this year isnt going to make the the cold come any sooner.

Dan- Posted October 6, 2007 Report Posted October 6, 2007 WTF it takes 10 hours to get to killy from PSU. Is the guy driving 35 mph the whole way... Quote
Shadows Posted October 6, 2007 Report Posted October 6, 2007 (edited) WTF it takes 10 hours to get to killy from PSU. Is the guy driving 35 mph the whole way... im guessing round trip. Edited October 6, 2007 by KnuckleDragger Quote
Dan- Posted October 6, 2007 Report Posted October 6, 2007 He said 20 hours, so that'd be round trip. 10 each way. And i didn't edit Dan's post. I meant to click quote, but hit edit and just started typing and didn't realize i was editing his shit Quote
