[Plakespear]

Well, some of us scored free passes to Stratton :fmicon:
Heres your edit: :fuckyou:

Please edit this post NOW!

How about Mad River Glen, Magic or Burke - support the small guys.

Mad River has been done already. I vote for somewhere I have a pass to.

[Laps]

How aboot Eh Peak? No matter where you have your pass, you can get a cheap ticket there....plus I hear rumors they get snow.

[Z]

Im not sure exactly why, but i enjoying posting in EC summit threads. If I was there I would go. And if I was gonna go, I would hope we were going to Stowe, Smuggs, Jay, or MRG. The summit at MRG was good fun.


P.S. If I was still around I would cock punch crashnburnd. He rides his bike to much. :p ;)

[crashnburn'd]

I'm not letting you anywhere near me.

[basom]

i vote for Le massif, or the chic chocs.

[crashnburn'd]

i vote for Le massif, or the chic chocs.

I'm coming to Tahoe for the ec mini.

[basom]

sic.......

[Plakespear]

How about Lake Placid the weekend of the Adirondack Backcountry Festival?

[Pedro]

Jay or Madriver would be good choices.

[elevens]

How about Lake Placid the weekend of the Adirondack Backcountry Festival?

That's a good suggestion

[snowsprite]

Gore :cool:

[crashnburn'd]

I vote for Sawkill, NY. That way I only have to drive 5 miles.

[gravitylover]

Gore :cool:

Blah.

No.

Bear Creek on a Thursday and Friday. $40 with lift and buffet lunch. Then Burke for the weekend.

[Baconzoo]

Jay Peak because we're all extremo dudes. Stowe would be my second choice. I had fun at Sugarbush last spring with 2650 vertical.

I can't wait to shush all you pizza pie skiing bastages.

[crashnburn'd]

I can't wait to shush all you pizza pie skiing bastages.

You'd better watch out. I'm pretty badass. My vote remains solidly for Sawkill. I could be convinced to go to Belleayre though, maybe.

[Raps]

Had fun at Stowe last year so my vote would go for maybe Jay or the Bush this year......

[Franz Klammer]

One letter:

J

[crashnburn'd]

One letter:

J

Jersey it is.

[basom]

you cant have it at jay, if you do you will tarnish the memory of the first ever ec mini sumit. no tarnishing alowed. well, only if helfire & damnation, hardrider, kush, noodles, shamrockpow, and gincogneeter all show up.

http://www.angrywhelk.com/shinjuku/moving%20files/ec.summit.mov

[train07]

I'm just here to say, crashnburn'd, you're fkn killn me... :biggrin:








basom could be onto something re: chic chocs

[L8APX]

Jay would be cool I think we should do the placid bc fest as another gathering. Plus if we had it at jay I could make a sticker of a maggot smoking a J on it. Or I could just make a cool sticker anyways.

[gravitylover]

Jay and Burke.

edit: On second thought, just Bear Creek and Burke.

[CantDog]

basom could be onto something re: chic chocs

Chic chocs are sweet and all...but they are 8 hours from Montreal, the really good shots are a hell of a skin in(patrollers wall) and its cold as balls. Plus, we'd need a quebec guide to translate, that aint no montreal french they speak out there.

awesome place though, I had a blast out there is past spring.

[Z]

Okemo...

[laseranimal]

Jay would be cool

but its a 6.5 hour drive from NYC so some people might be less apt to make the drive

Chic Chocs and Dacks eliminate anyone without touring gear but I'd definately like to get together with some maggots to do them

Sugarbush sounds pretty cool

[sequoiashan]

Smuggs or Jay if its got to be somewhere else. Smuggs has the terrain and the snow, Jay has the snow. But in my opinion Smuggs is the better choice.

[Baconzoo]

I'm down for Smuggs, my buddy lives on the backside. I was there for their closing day last spring and I dug the local vibe. Plenty of down to earth heads. Way better than K-Mart. I hate that place.

[Laps]

Snuggle her Crotch would be fun. BIRTHDAY BOWLS

[crashnburn'd]

Okemo...

Dude... You should so fly in from CO if we go there.

I'd do Smuggs. :)

[Vinman]

BIRTHDAY BOWLS

Much more to do than these. I hike to ski almost everyday I am there and not once last year did I ski there. Much better stuff just a short hike away.

Smuggs would be cool. there are a couple of us that could do some good tour guiding.

[mildbill.]

Much more soulful stuff just a short hike away.


i vote for a stowe repeat

the real FSLRSBC4L1F3

[Vinman]

SOC represent

[half-fast]

maybe we should wait and see where there's snow this year!

just to throw another area into the mix-how about the eastern townships?

[crashnburn'd]

i vote for a stowe repeat

the real FSLRSBC4L1F3

You had your chance to have someone ski at Stowe with you and you blew it. Now you're trying to break up the crew too?

[mildbill.]

You had your chance to ski at stowe with me and you blew it, sucka

[crashnburn'd]

You had your chance to ski at stowe with me and you blew it, sucka

funny, considering you aren't going to ski.

[mildbill.]

hence the use of the past tense

[Baconzoo]

EC MASSIVE!

[crashnburn'd]

I would suggest we pick two. But, a couple years ago, we tried that and I was the only one who went to both places.

[crashnburn'd]

I'm going to call everytime I go skiing by myself a mini-mini-mini-mini summit. If vin comes with, I'll knock one mini off.


ps. I'm making stickers.

[CantDog]

I would suggest we pick two. But, a couple years ago, we tried that and I was the only one who went to both places.

Actually, after skiing with you the first day, everyone decided it would be best to avoid you on the second.

[Stu Gotz]

hence the use of the past tense

Oh, Snap! Bill just henced Crashnburn'd.

[crashnburn'd]

Oh, Snap! Bill just henced Crashnburn'd.

That's why I wouldn't ski with him.

[gincognito]

EC Summit threads rock.

Sick and ashamed and happy (and wish I'd stuck around for the second day of the inaugural one so that I too could be a movie star),
d.

[train07]

Okemo...

now why didn't I think of that?................oh yeah, because it sucks.




I'd be down for smuggs...Vinman knows the place inside and out...plus you're close to Stowe.

[cinnepa]

magic mountain......across the valley from stratton

[CantDog]

We should just have our mini meet at the top of the notch and go from there.

[Vinman]

We should just have our mini meet at the top of the notch and go from there.

That was a fun day..............fucking saplings.

[train07]

I got to thinkn :eek:

... Julie Brock did give us some pretty cool vouchers(did you set that up Gravity?)...Stowe was awesome due to our "tour guides" :biggrin: ...ah never been to Smuggs so can't vouch for shit there...but vinman always gives it high marks...is vinman always high? don't know.. will other ski areas give us a group deal?...do they really want maggots?
My list would be Stowe repeat..Smuggs...Jay Peak.
















by the way Z...i knew you were kidding about okemo.
i wasn't
by the way Gravity, i knew you weren't kiddn about bear creek.
the planets aligned for you that day..and the bar tender is very cute

[CantDog]

is vinman always high?

Always. Never met anyone who smokes so much.

[basom]

yeah, he's pretty much the opposite of me. he smokes like on every chair, while i'm a road biking, spandex wearing, career having in sports medicine kind of guy so i never smoke.

[Vinman]

dudes why you puttin me down for how I live? what time is it? Is it 4:20 yet, damn I need a big fat blunt to take the tension off so i can collect my thoughts.

Hey maybe if I smoke more and get the muchies all of the time I could gain some weight.

[schuss]

Why are we waiting till march to have a summit? How about a mini-mini summit in like mid Dec? There's not deep cover, but there's usually pow if you don't mind hitting some rocks, lol.


It's like a mini every day when you roll with the FSLRSBC

[laseranimal]

Hey maybe if I smoke more and get the muchies all of the time I could gain some weight.


NOPE :D


edit 8 characters suck donkey balls :rolleyes:

[Droopy]

Jay if you want to ski
Tremblant if you want to party

[skatecow45]

Somewhere in vermont. Higher mountains, better snow. I'de say Jay or Stowe.

[bcbobcat22]

I like the thought of helping out the little guys....my vote is for Burke or SADDLEBACK

[train07]

Well at least we all agree.......

[gravitylover]

Saddleback?

Maybe.
No.

Sorry too far from the rest of the world, kinda like the Gaspe.

Burke works. And if the snow is good Cannon and Bretton Woods are really close.

[crashnburn'd]

Somewhere in vermont. Higher mountains, better snow. I'de say Jay or Stowe.

ummmm.... Higher than where?

[basom]

ummmm.... Higher than where?
than, you know, minnesota.

[crashnburn'd]

Oh, well I guess that makes sense then. Thanks for clarifying.

[Laps]

Saddleback?

Maybe.
No.

If cannon has snow, it would be awesome. As long as everyone bundles up.

[CantDog]

Somewhere in vermont. Higher mountains, better snow. I'de say Jay or Stowe.

Last time I checked places like wildcat, saddleback, sugarloaf all had higher elevations than places like sugarbush, smuggs, jay and stowe(where the lift drops you off at least).

In that case, we should have our summit in maine or nh, or at Lake Placid.


And saddleback is only about another 20/30 minutes further than sugarloaf, so from boston about 4.5 hours. Compared to ~4 hours to get to stowe, and about the same to get to Jay, driving like a normal person. If we had the summit at Smuggs, you'd have to drive around the notch, so factor that in.


How about we decide where the snow looks the best, and go from there. Its still fall anyway....

but i say stowe, because it wont cost me anything.

[laseranimal]

why don't we hold our summit on Mars, since the moon summit was such a raging sucess last year why not step it up a notch

http://a52.g.akamaitech.net/f/52/827/1d/www.space.com/images/030812_2003Charitum_04.jpg

[Laps]

As long as you have a lodging hook up, I'll drive.

[Stu Gotz]

why don't we hold our summit on Mars, since the moon summit was such a raging sucess last year why not step it up a notch.

I have heard through the grapevine that there are places on Mars with 60,000 feet of vert, which would be sick.

But are the natives friendly?

But are the natives friendly?

Im leaning towards no.

[elevens]

magic mountain......across the valley from stratton

This would be my pick for a mini-mini. They need alot of snow to even make it worth a trip but with that said when it's good - it's great at Magic. It rivals any eastern mtns. No crowds, nice trees and steeps.

my 2 cents

Smuggs for the EC summit - ride the mother.

elevens

This is true, Magic is one of those places where you don't really decide to hit until the night before/morning of.

[snorkeldeep]

how about we just give up and all meet up and ski spontaneously as some of us are apt to do? or, even better - wait until it starts snowing and see where its firing and then decide?

[crashnburn'd]

how about we just give up and all meet up and ski spontaneously as some of us are apt to do? or, even better - wait until it starts snowing and see where its firing and then decide?

Why would you want to do that when you could plan, plan, plan and then get no snow?

You still in NYC? You should spontaneously come up and ski again. That day at Huntah was pretty good for Huntah and I think I still owe you a beer.

[Laps]

You and your reasoning baffle me. It is supposed to snow tomorrow night on Stowe, I say we hike and get shit done.

[Vinman]

how about we just give up and all meet up and ski spontaneously as some of us are apt to do? or, even better - wait until it starts snowing and see where its firing and then decide?

IMHO this is a bad idea. The sole reason last year's mini at Stowe was so good was because we decided to go with a specifc place. People were able to arrange work/vacation time, get lodging and we were able to get deals from Stowe and we had the most ever for an EC mini.

If we just randomly decide the week befoer the mini where we are going to go, it is almost assured that it will be a very small gathering.

Now we don't have to decide today, but we should get some shit done in the near future and quite talking about it.

[sea2ski]

Well, since there have been mini's at Jay, MRG and Stowe. Isn't part of the idea to go to someplace different, where there is enough terrain to be a challenge and enough local maggots to show others the goods. But let's debate this for another two months so we can get this thread up to at least ten pages.

[Pedro]

Its time for a poll

[crashnburn'd]

Good point... We should definately have it somewhere with strippers. I don't think that's been done yet.

[Pedro]

I dont know if the the Pole and Skiing mix......i mean obviously naked chicks, lap dances and skiing mix but, i was thinking some of the talent in an area home to a mountain might be a little scarey. That said there is a strip bar down the block from my house, which is a few miles from a ski hill with about 400 Feet of Vert, after going to both places you may never return to either.

With that said, Who is down with Spring Mountain Pa?

[Laps]

Doesn't a bar near Sugarloaf have strippers from Portland on Friday nights?
Lap dances and then the Snowfields. Sounds like a winning recipe to me.

[Slick Willy]

This is an excellent Idea....Stripers and Skiing.

[CantDog]

Doesn't a bar near Sugarloaf have strippers from Portland on Friday nights?


Thats news to me, if there were titties in Carrabassett Valley, I would have found them.

there was talk of building a topless donut shop in Madison, but I think the town threw a fit. There was a similar deal run by Platinum Plus down in Portland.

[PhishingME]

Strippers on the way to the Loaf?

Steppin Out :biggrin:

[laseranimal]

strippers hookers and blow?

sounds like a successful summit to me :fm:

I heard Diamond G's was going all-nude.

[vinzclortho]

sick and ballsy EC mini. I don't know how popular a time-frame this is but mid-march would be a really fun time to have a mini, sweet corn snow, sunshine, bbq, few beers...few laughs...our fuckin troubles are over dude.

http://www.madriverglen.com/thinksnow.jpg


:yourock:

[gravitylover]

So I was thinking (it hurt, not recommended for everybody), the turnout last year was good because of the half price tix right. I scored those because Stowe was the EC mtn featured in last years TGR flick. Which area is in this years movie? I'll make some calls and see what I can come up with for breaks on tix when I find out.

[CantDog]

Which area is in this years movie?

Blue Mountain and Seven Springs.

[Steven S. Dallas]

Blue Mountain
Oh hell yeah! Touch the Sky, bitches!

[biggins]

Stowe(sat)/Smuggs(sun)

or the other way around.

Though the Jay Tram already has poles in it...

[shmerham]

Though the Jay Tram already has poles in it...

Woah. Nice thinking. 3 points for you.

[CantDog]

Woah. Nice thinking. 3 points for you.


And this whole time i was thinking ski poles. That makes sense, a tram carries skiers...

I'm an idiot.

[crashnburn'd]

bump
.....

[snorkeldeep]

Good point... We should definately have it somewhere with strippers. I don't think that's been done yet.

im all for strippers.

are you back on the east coast - ill definitely be up that way doing my normal free ski promo thing at hunt-ah once in a while.

[crashnburn'd]

Yeah, back in NY. Let me know, most likely there will be weekends that I won't want to drive up to VT.

[laseranimal]

why not have the summit at Huntah? :eek:

[sea2ski]

Huntah on a weekend. No Thanks.

But Iceface or something a little farther north. If people like Smuggs, I have a friend that works there and might be able to get some kind of discount deal like we had at Stowe last year.

[Plakespear]

I'll be working at Huntah this winter. Stop by and say hello.

[Core Shot]

bro deal tickets when i'm in Delco for t-day and christmas?

[Plakespear]

I'll see what I can do, but first I must ask why would you want to ski Huntah on a holiday, especially when your family compound is 5 minutes from Plattekill?

[Vinman]

pretty likely that p-kill will do its usualy thing and not be open when i'm there

[Plakespear]

Good point. Just be sure to bring your ragecall with you.

[snowrider]

All I have to say is Click Here (http://www.uvm.edu/~dwatkins/Stowe05/Dub1.jpg) (SkiJunky in pic) to see why the summit should be in Stowe. Although I can't guarantee said snow in said picture and it will probably be all ice and cold and windy...but I have a pass there.

Hope to ski with some maggots this year as I missed out on last winter due to being in abroad.

[Benny Profane]

Yeah, the center lookn about as natural as the Huntah snowpack.

[Benny Profane]

jeez, that one on the right, mama mia......

Hey Plake, come on up to Gore sometime. I have two pair of Phantoms, one with rental bindings .......if that fucker finally ordered the bindings......
If Plattekill finally gets snow, I'll head down there.

[Plakespear]

I'm on it- but it'll have to be a midweek mission. I'm slaving to Guido and Joey on the weekends.

If there's snow, there's things to ski. If there's not it can be pretty boring.

tru dat.

P-kill rocks when they are having a good winter. We should set up a X-mas mini maybe. My parent live about 8 miles from there and it was my home mtn growing up as a kid.

Sorry, the FSSL GLBQT crew called all floorspace in central vermont long ago.

anyone wanna pick a date?

so when exactly is the summit??

[crashnburn'd]

so when exactly is the summit??

For the record, I'm going to call everytime I go skiing a summit and I'm going to post a detailed write up in the form of a non-photo TR. It's going to be a sick, sick winter.

[JMO]

I skipped pages 2-5 of this thread. Can someone give me the headlines?

For the record, Stowe (with Smuggs and Bolton Valley as side trips) - that's if I can find the time and the cash to do it.

[rightcoast]

are we actually going to do this this year?
and if it happens, will i actually show up??

[train07]

Just because.... ya know.

I'm guessing that if it doesn't happen, you'll show up anyways.

Dont call me, you little big fat skiing loser.

I vote we continue being disorganized grabastic pieces of amphibian shit since we can't just pull the trigger on a date and location:the_finge

What Would Thelonious Do?

[CantDog]

I want to change my vote to "not having a summit"

[crashnburn'd]

Yeah, if laseranimal is going to be a dick about it, let's not even have one.

[Vinman]

I'm not sure what the word "grabastic" means but it sounds bad.

But lets just freaking pick a spot already. Stowe and Jay are in the lead so lets just make the call and move on. I'm sure we could get a similar deal from Stowe. Not sure about Jay, in the past I don't think they were too willing to cut us much of a deal.

Jay will give you a discount rate if you are a pass holder from another NE area or if you have a student id. Student prices are good, not sure how much the pass holder discount is though.

[laseranimal]

Yeah, if laseranimal is going to be a dick about it, let's not even have one.

The Director of Marketing at Jay is a pretty cool dude, Last year my bro asked him to hook the guys up at K-zone with some discount tickets for our black out dates During the Christmas week. He came on and posted a pretty sweet deal, 37 bucks if we Brought our K-Mart Pass with us. If the summit is at Jay, i could probably solicit him for some cheap tickets.

[Vinman]

right I forgot about the discount for pass holders from other area. 37 is close to what we paid at Stowe last year. And with that discount I doubt that we'd even have to solicit anything. just show up with your pass from another mtn and get 1/2 price...

[crashnburn'd]

I think that's the standard deal for anyone with another pass, check my post above...

edit - vin is quick...

[Pedro]

I think that's the standard deal for anyone with another pass, check my post above...

Yeah i heard that too form others, i was just doing a search for his user name, and he came on and posted a few deals out of the blue for Members of the Kzone, 40 Tickets if you were a "Member" for a particular weekend, so somthing like that could help out the folks who don't have passes. The dude used to work at K-Mart and was the moderator for the K-Mart message board before they shut it down, so i think he has some love the people over there.

If Jay is the place to be Ill give it a shot, if not I have never been to Stowe so that would be fresh too.

[bklyn]

When are we doing this?

[shmerham]

I wanted to suggest a date, but I don't see any dates that definitely work for me.

Here are some important dates for those that want to pick one:

Jan 14 - 16 MLK weekend
Feb 5 Super Bowl
Feb 11-12 Utah Mini
Feb 18-20 President's Day Weekend / school vacations
Feb 25-26 School Vacations?
Mar 3 - 13 Summit

[shmerham]

Would anyone be interested in the quebec townships during president's day weekend? If Crash shows up it will be a mini.

[crashnburn'd]

Would anyone be interested in the quebec townships during president's day weekend?

I'm new here... Quebec as in Canada?

[shmerham]

I'm new here... Quebec as in Canada?

Yeah, the pucker factor is pretty big, for the sole reason that some of the people there speak french... also Gin and Mit are from there; another reason to be scared.

[shmerham]

I wanted to suggest a date, but I don't see any dates that definitely work for me.

I'm quoting myself. Cool.

If I had to vote now I'd say Mar 18-19.

@Stowe if we can get deals again
@Jay if we can't.

[crashnburn'd]

Sounds like Typhoid Ryan is organizing. Those dates are good.

[Vinman]

Mar 4-5 11-12 or 18-19 would be cool with me any later and we run the risk of it getting too warm.

[gravitylover]

I'm in for Jay. We should look into renting one (or more) of the trailside houses there. Most of them sleep 15+ and have full kitchens. I say get in touch with them and see what they can do for tix. I'm covered, the whole family has passes this year. Somehow I just don't seem to have the same quality days at Stowe as at Jay. We should also look into ticket prices for one day at Burke.

edit: It looks like I'll be at Jay on March fifth and staying for a few days. Who's meeting me?

[gravitylover]

So, it looks like Alioops and EP are up for a few days at Jay around March 5th, maybe Schuss too. Who else?

[shmerham]

That coincides with the summit. Doubt I'll make it to Whistler, but I'm sure some will be going.

Do we want it at the same time?

[gravitylover]

Doesn't matter to me, that's when my wife can get time off from work.

jumped in a little late, however I'm in for Jay in march. I'm also down for getting a house, 15+ sleeper. Also I'll do the stickers again, however I think we should paypal one person before the order. I'm not sure schuss recovered from last year, even if he has a sticker for every day since then.

[Nate Dogg]

I may or may not be headed to Jackson in March for spring break...but if not I'd be down for sometime during Mar. 13-17th....not going to be where the snow flies the rest of the time.

3/5 at jay works for me

[peterslovo]

[Tuckerman]

After looking at that poll I was briefly disappointed but I’m over it and actually now I'm fully stoked.

[Tuckerman]

And I am the first and second one on page 5.

[crashnburn'd]

I'd be down for Jay... Think I'm going to go west at some point, but it'll probably be in late Feb.

[biggins]

I'd be down. Might be in the PNW, but if not I heart Jay.

[Core Shot]

Jay is not gay.
I would like to play.

[Plakespear]

Whenever and wherever it is, I might go.

[Raps]

I'm 50% sure that i will definately go:biggrin: No really, had a great time last year, look forward to round 2 - my vote is still Jay..........

Just not Feb 25th weekend cause i'm about to pull the trigger on straighlines camp in UT..........

[laseranimal]

I'm in as well for Jay

March 4th and 5th or just the 5th?

[bcbobcat22]

Sounds good to me....I'm there.

[train07]

I am full of whoa.

















not really, i just wanted to say that somewhere

[bcbobcat22]

So whats the official ruling? March 4-5th at Jay? Please let me know as I need to get a flight, coming from DC. Prices are cheap right now but they will go up fast.

Can anyone get stickers?

[shmerham]

I think we should let the Montreal crew weigh in on the date as they'd be excellent tour guides for Jay. I sent them PM's.

[CantDog]

If its Jay, the Rhumb Line restaurant in Manchester by the Sea, Ma has 25 dollar lift tickets. Thats purrrrty darn good.

[bcbobcat22]

I believe old college ID's would work for $30 as well

[Steven S. Dallas]

no tarnishing alowed.

Damn straight.

[biggins]

Also season passes from other mtns. gets you a half price ticket at Jay.

[L8APX]

Can anyone get stickers?

If it's gonna be Jay I'll put the stickers together and post up a selection of ideas to choose from.

[gravitylover]

Well, I've got my room booked from March 5th-8th. Staying at the Jay Village Inn, rates are really good and the lift tix come out to $35/day (less if you have a pass at another mtn). Check them out at www.stayatjay.com FWIW, the Hotel Jay is booked up already and the condos and ski in/out houses that are left are kinda pricey. I'm gonna try to be there to ski Sunday too, it's just a long drive after working in NYC all day on Saturday but...

[James Carvile]

Should be up in that area of VT. Then off West.

[skiaholik]

Has the weekend officially been set for the 4-5th? If anyone needs to get picked up from the airport or a couch to crash on for a night or so in burlington let me know.
