who here is in NY?

[Benny Profane]

I have just moved from NH to Albany. Any reputable shops around here?

meh. I use the Gore rental / tune shop for tuning when I'm there. Cheap, good quality, and convenient. Alpine here in Saratoga is lame.

These guys: http://www.highadventuresbp.com/index.html seem pretty cool, although I've never bought anything from them - they seem to be the backcountry experts south of Lake Placid. Dalbello dealer, too.

Fahenstock. Look no further. The holy grail of steep and deep.

I'm in Albany here and I second High Adventure. They're nice guys who seem to rip (and I think they lurk around here too).

EDIT: or is it weakday?

Born and raised in VT, relocated to Poughkeepsie by the man. I usually hit the southern ski areas and meet up with fam and friends still in VT.

Summit? Huntah? Midweek? Interesting...very very interesting...

I seem to have missed the first iteration of this thread.

me! i do! me! i do! me! i do! me! i do!

at "the edge of the suburban area around new york"

cool illustration:

yellow dashed line is the NY/NJ state line. foreground is mahwah, nj. behind it is suffern, ny. behind suffern is harriman state park on the right, ramapo "mountains" (max elevation: 1164") on the left.

for where I live, follow the pink line (rt 202) up from the state line. I'm on the second street before it makes the right turn.

I live within a not-quite world record frisbee throw of the NJ state line, but I'm still in NY damnit!!

NY gangsters make the world go round.

Third the vote for High Adventure,

wow thats like 4 people who live in the Albany area, we almost have ourselves a full fledged crew, we should think up a badass name and make some stickers

how about "full fledged crew" or
the "Crows" you know the birds that no one likes.

On another note: I did some hiking around greylock today. Thunderbolt anyone?

Was it a large blue man? I live in Poughkeepsie too.

Stopped by High Adventure the other day. Nice small shop, but they had AT gear and were way into the Blizzard line. Seemed like some cool people.

I've got my eye on the T bolt as a possible dawn patrol, just because everyone at my job thinks I'm crazy waking up early to go skiing before work

what do they know

[ski_adk]

Alrighty...I'm game for a mini-summit!!! We should use our free Warren Miller coupons...looks like another year of decent schwag.

I'll probably be taking 12/18-12/22 off just so I can enjoy what will hopefully be the best conditions of the early season.
