EC Mini Jay Peak March 4th-5th EC who's in?

[gincognito]

The stickers are cool, but I just don't think we have enough people to make it a worthwhile idea. Who really needs 30 stickers each? What if we did t-shirts? That would be more expensive per person, but it would provide more utility.

Hijack: Were you at Jay on Saturday? We were a bit early on the 11:30 lunch thing so I don't know if we missed you...

Sick and ashamed and happy (and I blame Mit's broken pole),

I think I might be in on this, I have been wanting to hit Jay for awhile now. I am going to wait and see how the weather shapes up. I will let you all know in 2 weeks or so.

[Steven S. Dallas]

If I'm not skiing elsewhere, I'll be there. How's that for a plan?

[Droopy]

Fuck it I am pulling the trigger and going to the W/B summit

[MassLiberal]

I wish I could go to the W/B, but I'll definately be at Jay.

Benny, I would be psyched to try out some Phantoms if you got them, I'm pretty interested in these skis.

[snorkeldeep]

might try and sneak up if i can snag a ride from near nyc.

You're always more than welcome to hop a train up to Poughkeepsie and come along with me. Not that I'm skiing much this year, but...

[TJ.Brk]

Would anybody mind if I came. I don't know if my body will be up to hitting the hard stuff by that time, but I really would like to come. I can pick any maggots up in Montreal for a ride their and back.

My problem is lodging. Don't really have the cash for it with the medical bills and all so if anybody has a hookup let me know please. I can get 2 lift tickets each day at my military rate of $25 bucks to help out.

That and I'm a wicked ass cook. Infact if somebody has a condo with a good kitchen I could whip up my blackend chicken alfredo with SW veggies for a large group if everybody chips in on food costs. Beside it would be a great meal to charge the mtn the next day. It would be a great way for all of us to get together for a good meal without having to rush all over fuck, and then rush to meet back up with fellow maggots.

It's no big deal. I just like to cook, and it would be my way of saying thank you to all the maggots for their spiritual support for me since last April.

What kind of question is that? We would be over the top thrilled to have you (make dinner for us) come.

It's so nice to see you back with us! I hope this means that you're feeling alright now, or at least better than should be expected.

edit: Unfortunately I don't have room in the hotel room to help you out with a place to crash but I'm sure someone does. Hey DBlatto, didn't you say your friends have a house up there for the winter?

I think I'll be doing a Friday night run after work, probably not that different than Poughkeepsie but there may be a few more trains on Sunday from Stamford back to the city.

Ya I'm feeling better. But I have a long way to go. I've gained back a dozen pounds. But I really want to go. I've missed it long enough. Can't wait to see Jay Peak in full bloom.

[PhishingME]

Anyone planning on skiing friday? I think it's 2 for one tix? (to lazy to read wholw thread)

[Core Shot]

4" of new snow since Sunday night.
Light snow dropping on us again as we get things in order this week. We received a smallish 2-4” over the past few days and forecasters are calling for natural snow—a few inches at a time—just about every day this week and right into the upcoming weekend.

[Falldise]

That forecast is better than any other I have heard and we are planing to hit Jay this saturday as a result.

I will not be attending this time around.

Klammer, you can borrow my car and drive up, but I'll warn you it has no speedometer, and I wont guarantee it will actually make it to the NH border.

Just remember not to tell the officer you didnt know how fast you were going because your seedometer was broken. Extra ticket.

[gincognito]

Looks like I should be around in some form. So seeing as I'm too lazy to read back, what are people doing for lodging? Anyone booked anywhere?

Mit, Kabubu and I will be there at least one day and are considering overnighting it.

I was up at Jay this weekend and the trees are in pretty good form. Most of the stuff off the face of the Tram is pretty solid water ice. but nothing prohibitive to entering the trees below.

still lots of barely covered rocks though..

[Core Shot]

Greetings 242’ers…
Over 2 feet of new snow in the past week has this place as buzzing as it is buried. We’re 100% open and forecasters are calling for natural snow to accumulate nearly every day this week and right into the weekend. Winter certainly took its time to arrive but it’s here. For sure, it is definitely here.

But for a brief window. Any day this week Tuesday through Friday. Get 5 buddies together (plus yourself) and you’ll ski or ride for just $39 AND we’ll throw in a lunch and a 2 for 1 coupon for you to come back. We have 100 spots available and they will sell out. Real quick-like. Send an e-mail here. customerservice@jaypeakresort.com

MARDI GRAS WEEK - February 27th through March 3rd.
Voted one of the top ten winter events by the Vermont Chamber of Commerce, this one is worth taking a day off for (or, if you’re lucky enough to be a student here in Vermont, you’re already on vacation…). Great food courtesy of Chef Mark Uddo (Direct from New Orleans), live music every day (including the big Crawfish Boil Blowout with silky Tammy Fletcher and the Disciples on Saturday the 3rd of March), mask making, a big parade, King Cakes and free Maple Pralines everywhere you look—make it a point to visit for at least a day next week. Great Ski, Stay and Play packages are also available. Call (800) 451-4449 to book.

I think they mean saturday the 4th.


Anyway, has anyone set up any lodging?
I would love to kick in for a house rental Friday and Saturday night.

[Franz Klammer]

Klammer, you can borrow my car and drive up, but I'll warn you it has no speedometer, and I wont guarantee it will actually make it to the NH border.

I'll take it unless someone less is driving up from Boston (please please please). I can also hop on a train to get near a ride if need be.

If no one else from boston can help you, hop on the downeaster up to Dover, NH and I can give you a ride.

[MassLiberal]

Franz, I'll be driving up from boston, but the only problem is that I'll be staying the night (friday) at Stowe. If my plans change at all (to leave on Sat Morning), I'll let you know.

[Core Shot]

Anyone have extra lodging??

Seems like the houses and townhomes (a/k/a party palaces) at Jay are uber spendy.

no, there are no deals for this weekend but we do have one 3BR luxury village townhouse available for Fri & Sat night.

rates are $690.86 per person double occupancy
$560.85 per person triple occupancy
$468.59 per person quad or more occupancy
this unit sleeps a max of 8 people and these rates include 2 1/2 days of lift tickets.

I can stay at a buddy's house near waterville friday night, but I would love to stay near Jay on Saturday and ski both days.
Cash carrying, non-moocher, relaxed, good roomate.

I guess I can always chill in a hotel room, but a house or condo would be way more fun.

As a poor grad student I have a similar problem ... but don't worry, floor space is more than enough for my tastes.

Hey All,

I was thinking about the possibility of congregating at the Jay Village Inn after skiing for pizza, beer and pool on Saturday and I was curious about how many would be interested in going. I'm gonna give the JVI a call tonight or tomorrow if I can reserve a section for us if there are enough people.

Conditionwise Jay was really nice last Sunday, lots of loose powder kicking around in the tree's. Should be nice this weekend as well.
