NYC Mags?

**ex-powderbroker** · 02-08-2010, 09:05 PM

dudes, I don't want to miss this storm. I would really like to do Hunter or Plattekill on Friday, depending. Stupid Valentines day and work and blah blah blah is messing up the next ten days for reals. Good thing I just skied pow for three days in VT!

**ripvanwinter** · 02-10-2010, 06:18 PM

any body up for a last minute day trip tomorrow?

looks like camelback got a foot-ish, might be better than the 3" in the cats

**ex-powderbroker** · 02-10-2010, 07:33 PM

i got work, but last i looked everyone in the cats was reporting better than 3"... not as much as they're going to get in PA, but a legit powder day still.

i'm thinking about plattekill tomorrow - they are reporting 6" of fresh snow from yesterday's storm...anyone else thinking about this?

**unfunkyufo** · 02-11-2010, 10:43 AM

i definitely think too much

tix are cheap already but if we can round up a crew that makes it even nicer...

**ripvanwinter** · 02-11-2010, 05:33 PM

of course after not working for weeks the schedule tightens up when the storm comes in.

have fun up there, fellas.

A buddy of mine from college, his family has a house up in rutland, VT that we use to use for weekend trips and the occasional beer in the city. chime in and let me know who's where and what your go to mtn is on the east coast.

I could be interested in doing that, if the vermont thing doesn't work out with unfunkyufo. Are you already going to be up there, or would you be heading out from the city?

I'd prefer to go touring, but I'd be down for a hunter day trip tomorrow.

Clear out your PM box!

**monstertruckk** · 02-16-2010, 01:33 PM

if anyone needs tickets to camelback i can get you half price all day tickets, just let me know in advance and they will be waiting at customer service.

**nihiles** · 02-16-2010, 01:50 PM

i would like to make another attempt at this motherfucker.

can i assume that there is still base from the previous storm in the park? or has everything in the city melted away?

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.

njfreeskier, i am still planning to do this tomorrow, i am going to have to come back to nyc, though i will be going back up sat am (don't ask- logistical nightmare). i think the coverage will still be very good and they are expecting more tonight. i could drive but considering sat am, would be stoked to limit my driving in any way. pm me if you are in. note: i have alpine setup only at the moment.

**njfreeskier** · 02-18-2010, 10:13 PM

I'll be up at platekill tomorrow if anyone wants to shred. yellowish green shell, black pants, white helmet, orange 4frnt vcts.

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...

pm gravitylover on the boards, he paper mounted my naxos and they came out great.

**Dudley** · 02-19-2010, 12:57 PM

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.

**Gman** · 02-19-2010, 02:35 PM

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.
