So what are we doing?? last weekend of feb or first weekend of march? If everyone can still make it, it sounds good.
This is my first post on the Teton board. I've been on the Powder board for years but i thought i'd check this one out as well. I'm down for this summit. I can stay with my buddy who lives above Pinnacle ski shop. Although still a ways off, i'm a college student so i don't really have too many commitments. I'd definately drop many things to head to Stowe for an EC summit. So yeah count me in......
Good to hear, college students unite! what was your name before, not that I would remember you. but someone mightQuote:

Nothing new really, just a few more people added and the question as to what to do about Pres. week. Hold fast or push back a week? How many people would have a change of status? I hate to make new polls but...
SaAaH (and mad webpage skills),

you do have mad skills.
i also want to say i'm pretty impressed ski beaver is planning on comming to this event. beav are you really thinking of flying in for this???
Yeah, him and hardrider threw me for a loop. Hardrider's been explained, but Ski Beaver? Perhaps he stumbled into the wrong poll...Quote:

yeah, he must have ment to show love for jackson, unless maybe he's going to be in the area anyway? i figured hardrider was kush from the begining.
speaking of kush, you best be making it up young lad, seriously missed the oportunity to throw down with you last season.

I would. The next weekend is much more doable for me.
Hey! Check me out - 100 posts!
Haha :)
Yeah i'll bring a few guys up from Hamilton where i attend. I'm Raps over on the Powder board as well. I've only got 200+ posts over there, so i'm not one of the more famous veterans over there. I'm impressed by the numbers of people on this board though. I feel like a lot of people have migrated over here.Quote:

The following weekend is better for me-
Earlier won't work. Weekend before will still touch the holiday and any earlier will interfere with the Jackson Summit. So....I think it's poll time.Quote:

I didn't make it up much last winter due to my driving partner bailing for tahoe, and mike(the dudes place I crash at) having a broken back. But I have a few new people to split gas with me this year, and mike is good to go.

you will have to come rip it up with mildbill, nhalpineturns, and myself in hanover some saturday night. thats where i'll be most weekend evenings, and if you ever have the cash or urge to come to mansfield, wheather its summit time or not, i'll make good on the head cam promise.
i also have a kmart freebee that i have to use before thanksgiving, so i might head there for a few runs before stowe opens (i'm not 'spose to ski for real untill december, so i'll just fake it).
NOTE: Due to popular demand the dates of the summit have been changed from the last week of febuary to the first week of march. If this conflicts with your schedule please post here and state your grievance, if there is enough opposition we can always change the dates back.
2004-2005 East Coast Mini Summit
Where: Stowe, VT
When: Friday March 4 - Monday March 7
Feb 4-7? You're supposed to turn the page on the calendar to get to the next month dude. :wink:Quote:

Besides, I have a good EC mini attendence record, even when it's ended up being just me and some other random maggot as the sole members of the hard core.
I guess I should go look at whatever gin made.
Don't bother. It's pretty cheesy and is in the process of being passed on to more capable hands. The list may have to be tweaked to accomadate the change of dates.Quote:

Had more going on in the last week than I could even BEGIN to describe. I've just thrown this together & now that I actually have a few minutes to dedicate to it, I should be able to do something decent with it - but for the time being......Quote:

After reading through this thread, I'm looking forward to again driving 6 hours to meet up with people only to find everyone has changed their mind and I am left to ski by myself.
This will end up just like every other attempt at an EC summit until people put there money where there mouth is. If people have put money down for lift tickets/lodging they will show, otherwise most people will have an excuse at the last minute just like all the other attempts at an EC summit. I don't mean to be negative, I've just seen how these things work.

actually i think we may have just missed him at MRG. i got lucky and found you guys inspite of my attempts to be late and disregard meeting times and locations, but that could have gone the other way.
I will note that I'll be able to pick 2 peeps up at manch airport if necessary, and transport their gear. Provided you aren't packing tons of shit. I'll be driving from NH seacoast, so I can give a ride if the airport pickups aren't needed.
a-hole.... If I would have known it was you I was meeting, I would have never gone. Since I met you, my experiences have been nothing but trouble. :cussing:Quote:

by the way, would anyone be interested in setting up a demo thing with ninth ward skis? I met the rep the other day on the mountain, seemed pretty cool.
possibly. I looked at the 1st blood in a ski shop in Waitsfield. I'd try them out.
Hey, I was wondering of anybody is gonna have their kids in tow that weekend? My twins will be six by then and we're going to take a week skiing and center it around that weekend so I'll have mine with us.

I think it is quite apparent that we started planning this way to far in advance... see you all back here in 2 months?
Gee thanks dude. What's up, afraid you can't keep up with my 6 year olds? :( :D
Gravity, I believe Sprite's gonna bring her kiddies, but not sure..If things work out as planned, I should be solo. :fmicon:Quote:
