Good idea, will be tough for me come Feb with the baby on the way, but will try. Start a thread soon about Meet/Ski and Beer.The STM riders and skier should get together on a Monday night madness night at Shawnee peak this season, cheap and close for most. $12 bucks for 4-9pm (And gritty's "moose pond ale" at pub)ccasion14: ? Thoughts ?
Mike, if you need help using those tickets before 12/24 you know where to find me. :wave:I'm game for Monday nights. Close & cheap... just my style.
I do have 2 free tix for the Loaf or Sunday River that expire 12/24/08. Hopefully there will be snow by then.
there's no prob with the Loaf on this, it's just that your timing is terrible. go in March and you won't be whining about no snow. March is the 2nd heaviest snow month and you have a whole winter's accumulation for a base. Best thing is, the crowds have given up by then. Days are longer, liftlines shorter, sun is warmer, and the summit snowfields are like having a chairlift on top of Mt Washington.I've never actually been to the Loaf when there was snow. I went up in early december one year after there was a crapload of snow in November but it all melted by the time I got there. They had like 3 runs open. It was fun cuz the crowd was small but it would've been nice to have more choices. Need to go up in the middle of winter.

I just hope I get to use 'em before Mrs. Mikebike does! Haha!Mike, if you need help using those tickets before 12/24 you know where to find me. :wave:
I use them in the bumps... And those flat as x cuts.... Other than that, you are right. Poles are not needed...Poles are overrated... just do without. :headbang:
Near the Poconos? When I lived down there I would ski at Blue Mt just north of Allentown. It was pretty fun.(for PA) Camelback sucked, a friend and I went to do some off trail skiing and got yelled at like no ones business.. So we left and drank beer at the Brew pub...I'm down in pa for school. Its snowed the past 5 days at some points it would be a white out while driving down the road. Yet we still don't have any snow on the ground :dontknow:
