    Killington Tuesday or Friday

    I'll be there for most of the day one of these two days (unless it really rains and everything gets washed away). If a maggot can make it one of those days I'll go that day, otherwise I'll try to choose based on likely weather/conditions.

    This Tuesday-Wed is the Rossi shop Demofest. If you know a ski rep, shop employee, anyone in the ski industry, you can get in. I was supposed to go with a shop person but work is too busy for me to go now. She's not a maggot though, she's from the kboard. They have a big party at the Wobbly Tuesday night.

    Although, I think it's supposed to be crappy weather at that time.

    Dammit- if it wasn't for this facking surgery I could probably get in on the Rossi Demofest. Looks like I might miss the Volkl demos at Slowkemo, too.

    Dec 3-4. It's a demo day for shop employees, not the general public, FYI. I still might go up anyway, maybe just ski the blues if the doc OK's it.

    Here's what you missed, aside from the on-snow stuff. I picked up a flyer that had the after-ski party events listed: (this is not made up)

    1. "Rossignol Fear Factor"
    -See who can handle the worst concoctions ever!

    2. Rossignol's "Killington Idol"
    -Your chance to sing on-stage in front of your friends!

    3. Rossignol's "The Bachelorette"
    -Only lucky girl and guy will end up in eternal bliss!

    4. "Miss Rossignol Contest"
    -The can only be one, see who deserves the title!


    So maybe to make up for missing that stuff, you can do something equally rewarding in the City of Brotherly Love--like go on a shooting spree, or something.

    It's supposed to rain at K for the next few days, which is going to absolutely kill a good portion of the already thin base if it happens. Today was pretty fun and springy, but they're starting to hurt for snow (it was also nearly as crowded as a weekend at times today, thanks to the demo crap).

    It's looking pretty grim for this weekend and possibly Turkey weekend. Guess it's good I'm locked into NYC this wet weekend.

    Don't know if they can keep the bottom open with the coverage they have.

    You guys didn't demo, did you?
