I live near Milford, Batavia, Owensville, and I ski at PNS. I was wondering if anyone skiied at PNS that lives around me. If so, I could pay you a little money for gas to get me there and back.

I live in Wilmington...split my time between PNS and mad river...gonna check out snow trails a few times this winter.
Wilmington? I'll find out where that is, maybe we can work someting out.
So it turns out 50 goes right through Owensville, which I live 3 minutes outside of. I only got to go skiing 6 times last year, because my mom (I don't have my license yet) had to drive me out there, and she wasn't to stoked about that. How often do you go to PNS? It would be awesome if we could work something out.
Well shit ArfroMullet, didn't expect to run across anybody who hits up Mad River and Snow Trails on here. I live in C-bus, teach at MRM and ski at Snow Trails every once in while. Although, as of last season I have been spending quite a bit more time on a plane....showing up to work tuesday really, really tired :FIREdevil
Good Luck finding a lift Lineskier - do you ride with any of the guys from Freezing Point?
Uh, midwest represent! We got to MRM 3 times last winter. Hit up PNS 2 winters ago. MRM is 2 hours closer. Hey let's have a mini at MRM!! :D
HAHAHAHA PNS....
Thats where I learned to ski.
I can remember being scared of center stage.
awwwww yeeaahhhhhhQuote:

I frequent PNS because I live in Indy and PNS is closer than Paoli or MRM.
I bought my silver pass (a decent buy if you get it early) for PNS. They gave 3 extra days to pass holders because of the lack of snow for a bit last year.
How is MRM in comparison to PNS?
My opinion is that they are very similar. Nothing really stands out in memory (which is old and slow) saying while at MRM hey! PNS did/n't have this.Quote:

I've been skiing there for over 10 years now, hit up MRM a few times a season as well. I've got a full pass to PNS and usually make it out there 2-3 times/week. Only on weekdays though because the lift lines blow on the weekend (except on the all night sessions when you can watch all the drunk rednecks eat shit). :yourock:

Seeya this winter.

C'mon now, you know you rock the redneck style! Just one question....do you prefer the all brown carhartt one piece or the hunter's orange camo? :fmicon:Quote:

Hey SnowRider4Life- How do you make it there 2-3 week? I need your job. The only time I can make it is on weekends (I live in Indy). But you're right about the carhart crews. Last year, a group from Purdue was trying to get em to act like I was part of their group so they could get the group rate. Problem with that is I already had my Silver Pass.

I've got the gold pass and work my 9-5 Mon-Fri job in the Hamilton/Fairfield area so it's only like a 30 minute drive over there. I usually just head over there straight from work and get in a few hours of riding on the weekday evenings when there's no one there. It's great being able to just lap run after run without ever having to wait in a lift line, but then again it's still only Perfect North. I refuse to go there during the day on weekends. It's nothing but gaper dodging and 20-30 minute lift lines.Quote:

You're right about the gaper dodging though. :cussing: On every run too.

I learn to ski there. We were family season pass holders for about 7 years in a row.
YES! Same strategy for Sat and Sundays: In line for opening bell. Out of there at 12:30.
I walked up Center Stage occasionally and got first turns in. A guy named Bill (if I remember his name correctly) used to do it nearly every Sat or Sunday. He had bright orange technica boots. He was one of the original ski instructors at PNS when all they had was .... The MEADOWS! :eek:
Enjoy! It is a great place to get started and enjoy out-of-doors in the Winter in Southern Ohio (my bad, afterall PNS is in Indiana).
I also learned at PNS and have been skiing there for about 12 years now. I got a late start and didn't start skiing until I was 15, but learning to ski well on ice made a huge difference when I was finally able to get out west and ride on real snow. Every time I go anywhere out there I end up meeting a local who compliments my skill and asks me where I live. It's great to watch their jaws drop when I say Ohio.
As far as weekends at PNS go, if I ever go it's to one of the all-night sessions. The crowds aren't nearly as bad and I've had plenty of time to recover from Friday night's activities by then. ;)
Awww, c'mon! That's the most fun part of it. Of course, up until April '05 I could have qualified as a gaper......Quote:
