There are more pics and updates being posted in a dedicated thread on the NYSkiBlog.
Despite what I said earlier on the ECRC about the ridiculousness of such an adventure, I am stoked that MadPat is keeping his streak going and that Matt is there to keep it real. And especially that they got there safely (I think) and are ready to ski. Their TRs will be worth waiting for.
For those that don't know, this trip is "the drive for 85." If MadPat skis in October he will have skied at least once a month for 85 consecutive months. For a guy that lives in the EC, has a family and a 5-days-a-week job, that is pretty impressive.

"... Enjoy yourselves, keep your brain in your head and your head firmly attached to your body, the body active and alive, and I promise you this much: I promise you this one sweet victory over our enemies, over those deskbound people with their hearts in a safe deposit box and their eyes hypnotized by desk calculators. I promise you this: you will outlive the bastards." – Edward Abbey

What's the word on the road conditions down there (e.g., Route 32) in the next 24 hours? Already have off tomorrow and seriously considering heading down from the Philly area, but probably looking at a day trip situation.

Checked WG site this morning, Chip says state road has 32 open and he plans to bust thru to the main road sometime this morning. Let the frenzy begin.

The snow tires are currently being mounted as I write this.

100% chance not leaving tonight, 90% chance not leaving tomorrow afternoon. Friday is the only day, if any. I could probably get outta work a few hours early though.
This just in from MC2 and MadPat

It's hard to tell me no when the choices are...
1). I go skiing and eat up the delivery time buffer I've worked to earn for the past few weeks.
2). I burn the place down and kill everyone.
Who says my negotiation skills need work?! TC, I'll be looking for your heads up on what time to meet you.
