I was in the Park yesterday (pre storm) and there was minimal coverage, especially anywhere with asphalt. That said, if you made a charge at it right now the Parks guys may not started salting.Quote:

Anyone in the NYC area reasonably competent at mounting sticks? Id rather avoid Paragon like the plague due to time constraints and pricing and would be more than happy to come to you bearing gifts of the alcoholic variety. It would be mounting Looks most likely...

aghh, thanks Gman.... I look at my apartment and realize I dont hang pictures well so drilling into skis probably shouldnt be done without adult supervision.
yea he use to run a ski shop back in the day so he still has a lot of the old equipment. I know he still has jigs for a lot of bindings so he may not need to paper mount them. He's doing a pair of looks for me and I'm sure he'd be happy to help you out. I just drop stuff off at his work so its low hassle.
PS: If you still want the seths, I can bring them up next weekend when I come up for the mag summit.
Ended up scoring a sweet pair of L-Pro to use as the daily drivers but thanks.. See you at the summit though.
Anyone want to head up tomorrow for "scraps"?
thinking about Plattekill, where you leaving from?
sorry, just realized I have an interview on friday morning so I am out (hence the deleted original post)....unless you are thinking about leaving friday afternoon for somewhere.
anyone think it will be worthwhile to head up on friday afternoon...if so, I would consider it, although I have no car...
Planning a trip to Plattekill possibly or one the surrounding resorts for tomorrow to take advantage of the leftovers and incoming pow. Let me know if you're interested.
Cats on friday am from the city anyone?
thinking Hunter cause the roads'll probably be in better shape
Always been my experience that access to Hunter is a lot tougher than Windham / Bell.
That being said, BOOM FOR SOME SNOW ON THE RIGHT COAST. Forecasts look great, hope it stays cold.
Thinking about a day trip tuesday to hunter, I've got wheels and one of those 3x passes to burn.
Hunter was the bees tits today, hitting plattekill tomorrow with bro. $15.
many mags should be there.
anyone heading up somewhere sat morning from manhattan?
driving up to the mag summit saturday afternoon.:fm:Quote:

Will be alternation runs with my GF on the greens (loving life) and my roommate. If you see me and want to be kind enough to show me/us around it would be appreciated.
basically a bunch of the regulars on the east coast are getting together at magic mtn in VT this weekend.Quote:

Can I just say how EPIC it was in the Cats this weekend. 5 feet by Friday plus another 8-10" on my deck Saturday morning. Saw lots of Lhasas, Spats, etc but didn't have time between laps to stop and meet anyone.
Let me just put it this way if you didn't make it up there - the mountain has zero gladed trails and doesn't clear any deadfall, and I skied top to bottom through the woods without hitting bottom all-day-long. Faceshots the whole way, shit-eating grin on my face... :D
The season should last until May at this rate. Just EPIC!
thinking about hunter tomorrow, whos around?
Gman, I might be on that train... possibly Bellayre, not sure.
i got some $20 off coupons left if you guys want them to hunter, deals have been aplenty though for the cats lately. there might also be a $15 day at Plattekill friday.
Crap, just paid $55 there today (Huntaaah)... that being said, it was empty and the snow was oh so soft.
any nyc mags heading north this weekend?
thinking of a possible friday tour.
Anyone?????
^^^^^^^ yeah it is pretty quiet in here huh? i'm looking at something tomorrow or sunday
Come check out the Gray Race at Windham. All proceeds benefit the Adaptive Sports Foundation and the Wounded Warrior Foundation... NASTAR course and booze topped with a great band and party Saturday night. Cant go wrong and the conditions couldnt be better. Shoot me a PM if you can join us for the festivities. And many thanks to TGR for always sending some popular auction items!
I'll be out until after the 18th. Taking a trip out to utah next week and mailed my skis.
just found out my big lift is doing a promo for a buy 1 get 2 discount tix if someone wants a 1/2 off next week.
Riding huntah next week. I've got a big lift card as well. monday? Wed?
if no one wants to tour, i'd be in for Hunter monday. Where you going from and do you have a car? My ride is on the fritz since last weeks hell trip.
Anyone want to tour this weekend? Catskills, Adirondacks, Vermont? Anyone?
Next month I'm moving to Durango. There are things I'll miss about NYC but it's time to live the dream, my friends.
Floor space available for the NYC crew.
