Kinda looking to get out of the house for the entire weekend. My roommate is having a birthday party and I don't want to give him the pleasure of being graced with my presence. Anyone heading up to Jay, Stowe, the bush, or the loaf this weekend and looking to share a motel room?
and here we go with the ec weekend thread where everyone states where they ski, the same place they usually state in these threads, and no one will make any attempt to meet up or change their plan, but will be sure to let us all know what that plan is, for some strange reason.
so i'll sart.
i'll be at stowe. i expect to sleep on a floor in hanover on friday and a floor in burlington on saturday. and don't forget the cereal throw down.
Brilliant!Quote:

I'll be at home staying warm :mad: Since I seem to be short on solutions for preventing frozen feet, even at temperatures around or greater than 30 degrees...I've had custom fit boots, custom insoles, heaters, tried various socks (using smart wool now)...all with limited success. Even with heaters, it just slows the freezing process a couple of hours. I'll be attempting anti-perspirant next, and if that doesn't result in any improvement maybe seeing some type of vascular doctor :mad:
So get some turns for me, and be happy if you are fortunate enough not to deal with frozen feet (and I mean frozen as in wh ite spots, not ohhh my feet are cold). :fuckyou:
umm, dood?Quote:

With some new snow in the forcast and a little bit of luck - I'll hit up Magic and be one of the 20 people skiing there.

eh depending on the breaks I'm gonna try to get out and do some Berkshire BC on saturday and hit K-mart on Sunday
basom should be the first one to change his plans though
I have the same problem. I've just gotten used to the initial pain and subsequent numbness. A good way to prevent the excruciating post boot removal pain is to put shoes on right after. It seems to slow the blood flow to the feet, allowing for a mellow tingle rather than that hammer-to-the-toes feeling.Quote:

Basom will be the guy who's killing itQuote:

will prolly make bench laps off the gondola if coverage is the same as last weekend.
i'll be on pistols, bill will be on super nobis. wicked ugly. If it fully sucks its okay because the cereal throw down is going to be sick.
I'll be at app. sat and sun.
I'm sure I'll see lots of maggots there.
I'll be at the base of the double chair about every 4 to 5 minutes, depending if someone falls getting on or off the lift.
:biggrin:

I'm going to be at the Hahnenkamm.
black speed suit, Dynamic 225s, skills and magic.
K-mart Sunday...at the 10:00 meeting. Hopefully snowed in on Monday--I mean driving home sunday night in the dry, dry cold air with nothing falling out of the sky at all.

Well, I have a sweet bike, and I'm really good at hooking up with chicks, plus I'll be the only person there who can grow a sweet moustache.Quote:

Schuss, Bros at the K..that would be cool to see.
Hey shmerham, good meeting you out there (you too Shamrck)....it'll take a storm to get my butt out this weekend, so I'll be doing the usual, at the same place, at the usual time, and damn if I'll change plans to meet up with anybody....see ya out there...maybe.
Greylock?Quote:

I like to call it the HOT97 Love Bomb.
Possibly,Quote:

you interested?
maybe.
The lady might come up with me this weekend but if she doesn't I'd be game.
lets PM and make a plan.

Sorry, forgot to mention I also do the lunchtime boot removal - replace with warm shoe/snow boot technique. Even when doing this, it has taken my feet 45min or more on numerous occassions to thaw out, even when making a serious attempt to get circulation going. The "initial pain and subsequent numbness" do little to phase me at this point, however I dream of the day when my feet will stay warm on their own (doesn't appear to be in the near future).Quote:

the pistols are fun eh? did that day last year sell you on them?

Sick and ashamed and happy (and noting that the Jay site simply has N/A for their forecast),

surprising eh?Quote:

tomarrow is going to be the cold one at stowe at a low of -17.
-9 is so much more pleasing that -23, not too sorry i opted for the nancy stowe pass this year. i've had enough rides on the freezer in -20 degree weather to last me a really long time.
stowe is claiming 110 inches of snow so far this year with a 30-42 inch base. can that be real?
edit: especially compared to jays base depth of 12-24... and it seems jay took the "powdermeter" off their site. i cant find any info on total snowfall. maybe so many people acused them of blatant fabrication of snow totals that they just decided to stop reporting any total snow fall at all?
TRock and I will be at Cannon on Saturday for the telefest. I'm a tele virgin but looking forward to learning. I'm totally going to make an ass out of myself - and it'll be caught on film, most likely.
...we received one inch of FRRRRRRESSSSSSH POWDER overnight at jay peak!coupled with the 3 inches of FRESH POWDER from last week, there will be plenty of loose snow to kick around in the glades this weekend! JAY PEAK: MOST SNOW BEST GLADES! CONDITIONS TODAY WILL BE POWDER and hardpack, ice floes, bare patches, brambles, and loose granularQuote:

First use of huzzah? That's one of the words in the Dartmouth fight song, isn't it?
it was not too bad this a.m. at Smuggs. they got 2-3 inches, just enough to cover up the shit. But it was not tooooooo bad. I've skied worse. It was cold though. Single digits and a bit of wind.
Not sure if I am going to ski on Sat or not. I ahve to work and I'm not sure I want to freeze my ass off for two hours of no new snow.
The Powdermeter is still up there. It's on the left side of the snow report page. A total of 150 inches so far (now minus the BS factor of 30% and they probably somewhere around 100 inches).Quote:

Well I told the folks in Atlanta to give Jim Cantore a wedgie and several really bad Indian burns if we only get sub zero temps and no major snowfall. Maybe Ullr will take pity.

Figure tele will keep me warm on Sat. Same bat place...
B)
oh you slut. no poachfest on saturday? I am sorely disappointed. I might have to make it a speed groomer day if we don't get snow.
They're saying possible nor easter over the weekend.
I'm hoping it tracks far enough north, but I've heard 6-10 possible for Sat./Sun. They also said that there is a chance that the storm may stall over the NE bringing more like 12-18 :biggrin: .
The forecast I heard was for CT.
Any VT mags hear anything about this and if the storm could possibly come that way?
I'm thinking of heading up to VT for Sun./Mon....
Don't you say that! That is not true! :fuckyou:Quote:

Anyone ever been to P-Kill, or care to try for $10? It's a very nice place--you gotta check it out once if you're from the area. You'll be glad you did!
This could be a nice opportunity for an impromptu EC mini-mini. Yeah, I know...but I figured I'd post it up anyway. ;)
