2005 EC Mini Thread!

[365wp]

I'm there, anywhere...Stowe would be cool, never been there...just need to start skiing after all the stoke posted from the west/Europe.

Edit: eclipse, curse reversed, my post appearing @ top, what the...

[Dromond]

I'll put in my vote for Jay sometime in January; probably late January.

Edit: Why the heck did my post show up at 2nd? Wierd.

[shmerham]

I'm in. Stowe last weekend of February. It's a plan. It SHOULD be good conditions then (as good a probability as you're going to get in New England). </unjinx>

Unless people are going to be out west or in Europe, there's no reason they shouldn't be able to make this. It's the height of ski season. I don't wanna hear any "some people have jobs" crap. You're a pushover if you can't work it out with your manager to have time to ski during the height of ski season.


On a side note, let's start getting some other ideas rolling. Anyone interested in a trip to the Eastern Townships during President's Day Weekend?

[snowsprite]

It's going to happen this year...but when and where?

I suggest last weekend in Jan b/c there is apt to be snow!

Sprite

[snowsprite]

As to location...

I know that Jay Peak is awesome, and I've never been there, and I'd like to go there. But it's a bit far off. If it is decided to go far north, I will make the trek. But would anyone consider (gulp) Killington?
:::ducking tomatoes and rotten eggs:::

There is of course the dear and unspoiled Plattekill NY. Course I'm partial b/c it's close to me.

What say youse?

Sprite

[EPSkis]

I made it to K the 2nd weekend they were open last year & tried to get there 3 more times to hook up with folks, but failed miserably.

I'm IN this year. Wherever, whenever. :fm:

[crashnburn'd]

I wouldn't do Plattekill because it's pretty much 1 day then done, so you have to hit it when it's snowing. But, I'm not from the east and won't be attending, so...

[gincognito]

Yes, it must happen. A mega mini I say. With this film project that Lane is championing, I'd say we have no excuse not to get our asses in gear and make this work.

As much as I love Jay, I'd say we all start putting money aside now and go for Stowe. Seems to me that would offer some of the best that the East can offer: glades, hikes, open areas, guides, relatively accessable etc.

As for dates, I'd go more for the end of Feb. Don't know what history shows, but end of Jan might be awkward for Jackson summiters.

Sick and ashamed and happy (and let's get this party started),
d.

[glademaster]

I second the end of January/early February, something like the 28th-2nd maybe? I personally will be able to attend at least 2 or 3 of the days during that time, and I know how much you all want to ski with me. :wink:

Who says the EC Mini has to take place at only one resort? Why not do a day at Jay, one at MRG/Bush, a Smuggs/Stowe day, and if it dumps, maybe a day at Hickory Hill outside Warrensbug, NY. There are so many possibilites within 3 or so hours of Boston/Albany.

Another idea, how about a less formal thing, agree on a time period, and just have roll calls posted for specific resorts the day or two before, so that there might be groups of maggots at different resorts every day. That seems the most feasinle given how spread out the EC crew is. Just my $0.02

[Vinman]

With my work schedule it is hard for me to travel very far for a mini. But anything in N. Vt I'd be in for. And if anyone wants to meet up at Plattekill over Christmas I'll be around visiting my parents. P-kill is my old stomping grounds hopefully they open before 05' this year.

[basom]

its going to be at stowe this year. i'm calling it.

and the different place on different days doesn't really work, or at least not last year. i don't think any of the same people were at MRG that went to kmart. If you give the flakey EC maggots too much choice they just choose whats closer/eaier. the point is to meet as manny mags as possible and ski with them, not set up three days at three hills with three totally different groups. that happens every weekend anyways.

if you all want to have a half assed ec gathering for the third year in a row go for it. i'd rather make a plan and try and stick to it. (deep down i know that most will bail by the time it goes down, as is the way of the EC summit)

I'll be checking out VT on the weekend of the 19th of November or earlier snow permitting. SugarBush or K-Rock Sat or Sun. ???
Bisically when it's on...
I'll be there.

[crashnburn'd]

...and the different place on different days doesn't really work, or at least not last year. i don't think any of the same people were at MRG that went to kmart.

I did, I did!


















But apparently I don't count :(

[gravitylover]

Wherever it is I'll do my best to make it. When is the glade/chute bash at Jay? That might be a good time to be there. If it's going to be a midweek thing we don't need to plan too far out, just wait until we know where the snow will be the best at that point.

[elevens]

I'll be more than happy to host a few EC mini-summit gatherings at my place in southern VT to all house broken maggots. I can't support the entire EC maggot colony but it does sleep 10 with comfort.

I was going to suggest the weekend of Dec 18th/19th for the first of many (if snow is availalbe). My place is 10 minutes from Magic, 45 minutes to Kmart, a little over an hour to MRG and 2 1/2 to Jay.

Any non-holiday weekend works for me. All we need now is a little snow. Hey left coasters - send some of that early season stoke our way.

oops. so you liked the format then? you supporting the multi day multi mountain?

[gincognito]

That's two for Stowe and basom called it! That's settled then.

On to the dates.

I agree with this. I propose the last weekend of February (26 & 27). I'm willing to roll the dice on weather and commit and the earlier others can, the better shape we will be in.

Sick and ashamed and happy (and I thought the first EC summit was closer to 3/4 assed),

[Vinman]

I guess I can choke down a Stowe ticket for one day!!! I could probably host a couple maggots at my house. thinking 2-3.

[crashnburn'd]

oops. so you liked the format then? you supporting the multi day multi mountain?

It was okay, although I'm not sure that the days can classify as mini (maybe mini-mini's). It was the second time that I'd been to Vermont and I wanted to explore.

Neither supporting or not supporting, but like you say, it's going to be hard to get people to go to different hills especially if they're going to have to buy tickets (as opposed to having a pass at their hill). I won't be out there, so it doesn't make a difference to me.

[snowsprite]

Hey, that's nice of you to offer elevens. :)

Basom is right...we should just pick a place and go w/ it. Stowe sounds good to me. I've never been there and am anxious to check it out. End of Feb. is do-able too.

I think we will probably have some smaller gatherings throughout the season. We should make it a point to post up roll calls here.

Hopefully the one official EC "mini" can be well-attended this year. Hey, if the Sox pull off that win...we can pull off a good mini!

[EPSkis]

FWIW - You ever seen those Southwest Airlines "Wanna get away?" commercials?

I just dumped the entire contents - meaning ALL - of a steaming hot cup of coffee / hot chocolate.

You see, I was merely stirring the coffee. Then the phone rang. In what I can ONLY refer to as a Tourets-like response to the ringing telephone, I made some movement which I cannot clearly define. It was as if I was half asleep & dreamt I was about to get hit by a truck.

So I flail a now well-stirred cup of coffee into the air. It first bounces off my outstretched hands because I figure "Hey - hot coffee! Catch it!

As I'm screaming because of my newly burned hands, the cup bounces off my thigh, and dances across my entire desk in true Broadway fashion. From right to left: Digital phone, mouse, PC, monitor, keyboard, desk return. ALL of my notes for the day are now covered in a sticky brown, semi-viscous sludge. I do not know whether they can be recovered. My keyboard now has that "Fresh from the factory!" tack on all of the keys, but alas - I know the difference between "fresh from the factory" and the fact that I'm a fucking moron.

I used an entire Industrial roll of hand towels to clean everything up off the floor, 16 packs of electronics wet-naps and 10 packs of pads.

Yes, I want to get away. Right fucking now. :fuckyou:

[skiguide]

actually, i have a conference in NYC feb28 - March 3 - so i may well be able to make the southern VT area the weekend before/after... and I have a friends with a condo near k.

[half-fast]

I'd be down for stowe 2/26-27. Can't make it til the eve of the 26th, but I'd probably stay monday 2/28, too. Last year stowe was giving a 50% discount for any visiting ski patrollers-they might offer it for other area-shop staff too.

[stump832]

i bet there's a certain EC mag who would love to have the mini at Sugarloaf...bill, can you put up the signal?

[EPSkis]

Y'all call it. Lemme know when the dates are set so I can start begging for floorspace.

[Vinman]

Late Feb will work for me. I should have most of my weekends off in Feb. I'll also throw in a suggestion for a Smuggs day only because I could give a pretty good tour of the in bounds and OB stuff.

[Droopy]

Dates: I'm down for anything in late feb, because i will be recovering from the financial loss of a west coast trip in early February, and will be west in late January.

Location: Anywhere that I can get a lift from the train station, and anywhere with a hostel or a nice corner of a house. Or worst comes to worst, I'll sleep in the car (so long as I can find a place to shower every other day)

[snorkeldeep]

i vote for magic, but only if bill comes.

edit: seriously.. i cant plan anything this far in advance, but ill most likely be there. especially if there is some snow.

-j

[schuss]

I'm there, wherever there is.

[Baconzoo]

I'm there on the Nov. 19th, maybe Stowe Sat or Sunday

Here is some skiing from last years opening day Stowe.
http://www.evillelakeeffect.com/HV/categories.php?cat_id=16

[supercow]

I'm in for whenever

I'd like to see an early season get together at Kmart, possibly a BC event and definately wanna do some late season spring corn skiing on Mt Washington or in the Dacks

[EPSkis]

I'll throw this in the mix ~ I'll volunteer the drive from the D.C. / Balt. / Northern VA area.

It's only a Camry, but with 1 seat down, there's plenty of room for 2 more & all the gear you could need.

Sweet deal!
Shit ill go on a 10 hour car ride with a random 36 year old I've never met, its all in the name of skiing.

[PhishingME]

Mt. Washington sounds cool. I love Stowe but it is sooo expensive to stay up there. I think there are cheaper options in Jay.

Might as well pick a weekend and see how the snow flies.

[CUBUCK]

I'll be there. I can't pick dates ahead of time but If i can get a ride up I'll be there.

[gincognito]

As much as people don't like dates so far in advance (which I can understand), I think those are the most important to set. Particularly if we want some of the film camera action.

Any serious objections to the last weekend in February (26 & 27)? Friday and Monday options open of course. I say we nail that down and then go where the snow and/or lodging most makes sense.

SaAaH (and still leaning towards Stowe, but obviously flexible),

feb 25-28 sounds perfect. I guess the place isnt a big deal, but maybe, if I am going to take a train it might. I really dont want to drive 9 hours. Maybe I can recruit some people to come with so we can switch off

Edit:Or go with EP

Yeah, it's a bit of a trip, but I don't mind it..If nobody's hitching along, I'll prolly just fly up to Manchester - just figured I'd extend the offer. Southwest usually does BWI/Manchester for under $100 r/t.

Plenty of time to figure it all out..

[non grata]

end of february sounds o-tay. i can most likely give a ride to stranded ny'ers or split a rental.

[Droopy]

So what are the choices of dates we got going here?
In:
1.Feb 25-28
2.(Insert Date)
3.(Insert Date)
4.(Insert Date)
5.(Insert Date)
Out:
1.Feb 4-14 (JH summit)
2.(Insert Date)
3.(Insert Date)
4.(Insert Date)
5.(Insert Date)

If you are driving solo from the DC area, its cheaper to fly than it is to drive. If you roll into manchester/burlington, there wouldnt be a problem finding a ride.

[glademaster]

How about early March? March can be epic in the Northeast, and if it isnt, then we might have spring conditions. Something like the 11th-15 of March maybe? Anyone like that idea, or is it just me?

[rightcoast]

How about opening weekend at K-Mart??
give us all a chance to try out the shiny new all for one passes?

Then definately a real mini later in the season.

[gravitylover]

I like Glademasters idea on the dates. Early/Mid March is good. Jay has some good deals because they include breakfast/dinner and lifts. Ski down, take off the boots in the hotel guests only locker room and start drinking. The place just works. The price goes even lower if we rent a ski in/out house. It doesn't include meals but it's definitely less expensive.

[trainnvain]

Not March, Febuary. Last Weekend to be exact (26/27th that area). Stowe is a good location and good snow at that time of year. For 20 or more the group price is $85 for a two day ticket.
Lodging on the cheap in the area (not easy in Stowe) you have:
Innbuck Inn , you can just about stumble here from the Matterhorn without getting lost www.innsbruckinn.com

Stowe motel and Snowdrift, these people always have group rates, a wide variety of rooms to fit different needs. They're also within a good walking distance/ short drive to everything www.stowemotel.com

Could also go in on a condo (or 2 or 3):http://www.stowecountryrentals.com/CondosB.htm

There are cheaper places, these are the better options right on the Mt. road.

[dipstik]

I'm in.

I can give a ride to 2 or maybe 3 people from manchester/ manchester airport. I would be driving straight to UVM (burlington).

Also, I'm down with brining up my vid camera.

edit: I'm with snorkel....this is still 4 months away. I don't even know what I'm doing for halloween yet.

[basom]

you guys didn't get the memo? its happening at stowe. we did jay two years ago, only me and gin and kush and hardrider and apk and noodles and shamrockpow showed up. at this time two years ago there were like 25 commited people.

you don't have to stay in the town of stowe to ski at the mountain, and take it from someone who knows, the bar at Jay is hands down the worst bar at a ski are in the entire state of vermont.

last weekend of februaury.

[Vinman]

I agree with Basom and Gin we should nail down a date and a location now so that everyone can start making plans.

I'm in for Stowe on one of those days. If anyone doesn't want to throw down for 2 days of Stowe I would be willing to lead a group over at Smuggs.

[gincognito]

I'm going to go over this thread towards the end of the day (3ish EST) and sort out the various votes for dates and places and "I'm down for anythings." From there a rough plan will materialize. I know it's hard, I know you hate to do it (I do too), but I'm sure we can make an effort to commit in order to actually make this happen.

Imagine: with enough planning we could have parties, deals, a maggot camera, tours etc. Let's try to approach this with 100% of our collective asses.

Sweet.

Sick and ashamed and happy (and surely jinxing myself into missing it),

[supercow]

Like Basom said Jay is way the hell out there for most of the maggots and given the fact that EC conditions can range anywhere from 12" of fresh snow from the nor'easter that just came up the coast or it could torentially rain or be -60 degrees.

look at the map which shows most of the mountains that are within reach of most of the maggots who tend to cluster towards the bottom of the triangle formed by Burlington, NYC, and Boston. Maine and NH are Whiteface and Gore. I doubt that any of the maggots are going to hang out at Stratton, Okemo, Bretton Woods, Ascutny or Bromley so they don't make the list. Jay has been eliminated from summit contention because of its distance(would be a good mini-mini summit). That leaves us with the following mountains availible for summit hosting duties. Killington, which is eliminated because its to crowded and for every maggot who skis there there are two that want nothing to do with it. Magic, which is eliminated because it doesn't have reliable snow. Pico is an interesting option but gets eliminated because it doesn't have enough terrain. So that pretty much takes care of the southern VT options. Moving on to the north, MRG is eliminated becuase it was the summit site last year. Sugarbush is eliminated because for whatever reason nobody wants to go there. Smugglers Notch is an interesting possiblity but I think the snow is better at other places. Which leaves us with the eventual summit location of STOWE, which is where it will be and nobody will attend because like all EC get togethers everyone will have something better to do because unless we all lock in lodging/packages theres nothing forcing us to go.


edit with an apoligy to all the maggots who unlike me DID show up to last years mini at MRG, I don't know why I typed nobody showed up

I will remember to post first, then smoke crack

[mildbill.]

Moving on to the north, MRG is eliminated becuase it was the summit site last year and nobody showed up.

yeah, nobody was there.

Snowsprite adds in another thread:

"Man, I would roll around in the snow in my underwear and a feather boa if we can get all the EC'ers to show up at one resort one weekend!"


There it is folks! Commence planning!

[mildbill.]

^^^^ I agree with this guy.

how could you know? you weren't there! neither was i.

#1 what Bill said

#2 Smuggs is less than 5 miles from Stowe and gets virtaully the same snowfall, has better inbounds terrain and doesn't groom the shit out of everything. The lifts are painfully slow however.

#3 I'll be there

[Droopy]

Fuck you all, :fuckyou: I can already see that its going to be Stowe or bust. But fine whatever you want, the logic seems like it works

[supercow]

Did i type that? :eek: Sorry my bad, I don't know how that was put in there :redface: I will now go edit my post

(Supercow now kicks his own ass)

[EPSkis]

Might I opine?

Since I've bailed for 2 years in a row, I really have no place to talk, BUT:

We go through this every year. As basom said earlier, at this time last year, there was a couple/few dozen ppl who said they were in, but it ended up being a HALF dozen.

A couple thoughts:

1. Either pick a leader or someone volunteer to bring this shit together.
2. Dates - we're all talking about how far OUT it is, but we've still only got it narrowed down to a 1 month window. That "someone" needs to pick dates.
3. Once dates are selected, it's going to be a HELL of a lot easier to figure out lodging. Again, that "someone" and their little helpers can bounce a few emails about group lodging, tickets, etc.

[brit accent] It all rather falls into place after that then, dunnit? [/ba] :fmicon:

[Droopy]

This is cool, I quoted my own post (that's because it showed up at the beginning of the thread instead of the end, wtf?). How bout's we get a poll going for what weekend: last weekend of feb, first, second, or third of march. How's that sound? I can't take the lead until after christmas time because I'm busy with applying to grad school, but afterwards I'm willing to work my ass off to make this happen.

[EPSkis]

^^ so are you saying you will do it? because that would be really nice of you

I wouldn't mind helping OUT, but I figger someone who's more of a "local" *cough basom,bill cough* would have an easier go of it & would certainly know more about the "scenes" up there...I haven't lived in MA for 13yrs & my NE ski trips have consisted of day trips here & there, so I'm kinda outta the loop....

[mildbill.]

it was my impression that for this kind of thing we just show up and ski, right?

in any event i have zero time for organization other than making sure i will be there at a certain time with all of my ski equipment. but just as points of conversation, are people expecting condos, discounted group tickets, and a private apres ski party with lots of hookers and blow or what?

last year at MRG we showed up, had a really fun day of skiing, got kicked off the single lift, and then went down to a bar and chilled for a while. that worked out great.

[Vinman]

but just as points of conversation, are people expecting condos, discounted group tickets, and a private apres ski party with lots of hookers and blow or what?

I was looking forward to some strippers, and no not just basom gettting naked and showing off his scars.

[basom]

i'm not going unless we have a private party with naked girls serving drinks from an open bar and the scorpions and tesla giving us a free show.

i surely cant do much to make this happen, those who have seen my sock drawer will understand.

[CantDog]

Did you clean the vomit out of it yet?

[basom]

what is the clean you speak of? i do not understand.

[snorkeldeep]

i think that this shouldnt be a democracy anymore.

i also think that we should somehow get crazy dave AND his bus involved. yeah.. jay is far, but a percocet, thermarest, and a sleeping bag.. makes the 8 hour drive go by pretty quick. meanwhile, dave pounds redbull all night up front for some cash (and we do joke about him being crazy dave a bunch.. but hes a good guy). we could get all the ny mags on the bus, and make a few stops on the way up - either hartford or albany to pick up more people.. and there we are. he even has a house we could all crash in for a nominal fee. that said, who wants to go all the way to jay if its not getting pounded? id almost suggest we wait and see how the season turns out snow wise.. and set something a few weeks or a month in advance. its not like any of us have to buy plane tickets anyways...

[EPSkis]

Well - I wasn't suggesting it become a full-time obligation for the next 4 1/2 months, just figgered you'd have a better handle on the scene up there.

(Are we really only talking about a 1-day get together? I was thinking more an actual Mini - like 2,3 days...Help me help you..)

Also - the issue of the filming..Gonna be a clusterfack if it's only a 1 day deal..

Committment scares you.
Skiing, chilling, it sounds good.
Why NOT hookers, blow?

[mildbill.]

just figgered you'd have a better handle on the scene up there.

i don't have a handle on shit, other than my pass and a couch 75 miles south of there.

i thought the general consensus would be a weekend affair, with folks who had travelled farther maybe taking a monday or friday as well? the way i see it i'm guessing most of us are going to be somewhere reasonably nearby (or SUGARLOAF if you're cantdog) most weekends anyway. so wouldn't it be easiest to just everyone meet somewheres and ski, with perhaps those who are travelling/don't have a place to crash on the weekends working out a place to crash together?

correct me if i'm grossly misunderstanding people's skiing arrangements for the upcoming season, as i've been microfocusing on getting my situation and gear squared away and had some blinders on.

[basom]

not to mention that you are mentaly retarded and drunk 75% of the time.

[mildbill.]

not to mention that you are mentaly retarded and drunk 75% of the time.

yeah, i have been drinking a lot lately.

[elevens]

Did someone mention hookers and blow?

[non grata]

has there been any sort of coordinator in the past mini's? in addition to all this planning someone should step up and take charge of hashing out the details and making the final tallies... e.g. buzz compiling everything into that first post and i'm guessing doing most of the legwork for the utah mini.

[EPSkis]

Did someone mention hookers and blow?

Bill offered to arrange some private apres thing featuring hookers and blow at his discount condo with all of his ski equipment.

I think he's waffling now.

[mildbill.]

I think he's waffling now.

you guys make your own breakfasts, and remember, you're not paying the hookers for sex, you're paying them to leave afterwards.

[snowsprite]

Well...I suppose we will be leaving the kid at home for this one! :eek:

FWIW...I think this year we will pull off an EC mini. Just the fact this thread is already 4 pages gives me a good feeling.

One thing that would be helpful is to get a list of lodging options in the Stowe area. I really don't know anything about Stowe, or how far surrounding towns are and such. Is it unreasonable to drive to Stowe from Killington to ski in the morning (how far a drive)?

It might help if we have a pre-mini get together. Let's see what the story is for Killington's opening day. Maybe we can duke it out at happy hour after the last chair and talk in person over a beer.

i though those going to sleep first got the bed, so the rest of you drunks could be loud in the living room. fack.

in other bad news my fucking truck needs a new fuel pump. hmm, so thats the money i just spent on a stowe pass. fack. i cant even fucking afford a new fuel pump.

so bill, would you rather get paid back for the spatulas or give me rides up to VT every weekend.

If by "large beds" you mean "pleasure-ready hips," I'm there.

Cool. But I think we're pushing it back to the first weekend in March to avoid any President's week overspill.

SaAaH (and can't wait to try to follow you guys around),

in any event i will handle all organization for everyone and can make sure i will be there at a certain time with all of my ski equipment. I will give accurate directions that will not send people in the opposite direction from the mountain they are trying to reach. I promise to provide everyone with condos, discounted group tickets, and a private apres ski party with lots of hookers and blow or else.


He's quite a guy.

Sis sent me these - I don't live in Boston anymore, but it'll always be "home".

Thought you like-minded people would like 'em! :biggrin:

[schuss]

OK, so who's organizing this, and who has the stowe connections? Just would like to get the ball rolling on this one.

[basom]

its all up to you schuss. if it doesn;t happen its your fault.

[trainnvain]

If there's no snow at the Bush next week, it's schuss' fault. Nice going schuss.

[schuss]

fuck. Ah well, everything was my fault anyway, one could even blame WWII on me, as I wasn't born yet, therefore unable to stop it. I'll be more than happy to organize this, just don't know how much time I have to devote to it, since I"m starting a job in 10 days.

[basom]

you could also just read the other thread.

[trainnvain]

Yeah, but I'm not done blaming him for things.
