NYC Mags?

Bump.
I'm taking AIRE level 1 in January via EMS school in NH. Can't wait to get back on my board.

**gmdesigner** · 10-26-2009, 02:18 PM

How you getting up there?

**BrokeSomeRibs** · 11-21-2009, 08:36 PM

Anyone going to the Warren Miller premier in NYC on Sunday night? I'm going with a whole crew... PM to meet up for drinks and talk about snow afterwards!

**ex-powderbroker** · 11-21-2009, 11:37 PM

what are the details? I could be down......

**njfreeskier** · 11-23-2009, 10:25 AM

Chiming in kind of late in the thread, but I just moved back to the east coast after spending last season in SLC, so I don't know many east coast maggots. Looking to meet new people and do some good skiing(backcountry/touring and resort). I live right outside of the city in New Jersey. Stowe and Gore are my two go to resorts. Am very familiar with both of those. Would love to ski Jay and MRG more this season, especially because their lift tickets are like half of what Stowe's cost. Anyway, I have a car, and am looking to do as much skiing as I can afford, so hit me up if you want to go.

**ex-powderbroker** · 11-23-2009, 10:35 AM

I'll be up all over MRG and the MRV, and wouldn't mind a tour of "stowe" one day....Do you ever take day trips to the catskills midweek? Having someone in the passenger's seat always helps to make sure I don't fall asleep at the wheel after skiing powder all day. Let's get this winter started already and welcome back.

skip the warren miller film, the editing was subpar and the segments were just okay.

I'm down - drop a note here when you think you'll head up and I'm ready with gas money.

Hello NYC mags

been lurking for a bit, with the weather starting to turn I'll jump in.

I'm good for trips and some midweek too. In brooklyn with AWD vehicle.

Curious about the EMS AIRE I class, too. Might sign up for a weekend in february. Let us know how it is bdawg.

Would like to try and start touring a little this winter, if anyone doesn't mind dealing with a nOOb.

Hey Rip - I'm out of town until Dec 14, but will be up for some resort and skin trips this year. If the Catskills get a big dump there's some (modest) backcountry to be found around Belleayre and Plattekille. I'm probably going to scout Highmount sometime this winter - it's a closed resort next to Belleayre. Always up for New England too, especially with NYC mags with a car..

**BrokeSomeRibs** · 12-06-2009, 12:59 PM

Have car, will travel. In NJ, about 8 mins over the GWB.

Met up with one dude from TGR last year for a weekend trip to Jay, but tore my ACL on the 3rd run of the trip trying to keep up.... dude was wicked fast.

I'm stoked for winter!

**Maker** · 12-06-2009, 02:17 PM

Man that blows! How's the knee now? It's almost time to put it to the test...

No worries, MSL - you'll love the east coast. It's a great place to catch a plane west.

tell me about it...frankly it is probably costs about the same to just hop flights out there...sister lives there so free lodging and car.

**Dudley** · 12-08-2009, 04:38 PM

In NYC with AWD and ski box... considering a Thursday Opening day mission to Windham pending conditions and work flow.

Keep me posted on trips, I'm usually down.

Will be back in 7 days - up for any and all trips. Looking at the forecast anything catskills is still sketch for a while...

**ex-powderbroker** · 12-09-2009, 12:40 AM

windham....

just kidding.

i'll be at hunter though unless plattekill opens.

**ex-powderbroker** · 12-09-2009, 11:12 AM

Little bit of spam...

I organized a full fledge euro ski lodge type dinner at a local restaurant art space just in case you can't make it to Le Trois Vallees this year.

There's a six course tasting menu ($35) while ski movies project on all four walls around the dining room. Vintage ski jumping to McConkey to Vermont filmmaker Chris Nelson.

Prizes from Sugarbush and Magic.

Check the link if you're interested:

reservations recommended.

**gmdesigner** · 12-09-2009, 08:14 PM

The menu sounds impressive, but I think I'd just be depressed when I stepped out into Williamsburg instead of the alps.

**ex-powderbroker** · 12-09-2009, 11:07 PM

hopefully the booze will help with that... just don't eat any yellow snow or anything else you might find on the street!

**Dudley** · 12-10-2009, 11:11 PM

Sick fire, I'll attend!

**ex-powderbroker** · 12-11-2009, 06:34 PM

cool man, I will see you there!

**gmdesigner** · 12-12-2009, 03:58 PM

Awright - there's finally some snow and I'm back in the states on Tuesday. I'm up for any and all dates in the next couple of weeks. If anyone is heading north in a car I'll split gas with you or else I'll take a sad sad Emilios bus trip to a sadder mountain. Up for skinning or resort as long as I can slide on it. Let's get started...

**ex-powderbroker** · 12-12-2009, 05:58 PM

spent two days in the catskills, it was kinda sad because they had a lot of snow but it rained a bit over it so there was a really shitty crust on all the terrain.

I imagine that plattekill only needs another 6-12 to be in really good shape though. Outside of some misplaced turns deep on a tour I was floating on top of everything and didn't kill my bases too bad.
