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

L8APX has generously offered to hook up stickers again

I belive if you have a pass to another EC mountain you get hooked up with half price lift tickets

Jay has the deepest snow and sickest glades and is more then likely to get dumped on while we're there

Christina Ricci will be attending, how bout you?

well she might not, but just the chance of her being mentioned in the thread might coax Basom into posting in this thread, which would be sick

There is probably a 100% chance that I might be there.

Maybe....I'd love to get to ski with the FLIBISBCE...........swooon......:rolleyes:

Most people would. We are really cool.

I'd actually like to ski with almost anyone on this board, including you. But, I may on a trip elsewhere...

I'll try.

CantDog

Anytime you want to come down to k-mart, be my guest. A couple of housemates can get $40 tickets (ski patrollers).

What if our bindings only go to 14?

Steven S. Dallas

That's cool- I know some stashes off Lower Bunny Buster that should be just your speed.

CantDog

The real question will be whether or not laseranimal actual skis at this summit. I seem to remember him being at the last two, but he was only seen carrying skis both times.

Steven S. Dallas

12-14-2005, 09:03 AM

This year he'll be towing them in a little sled, but still won't ski.

Bluebird

THis may have been discussed but if there is a chance of extending the mini into Monday I would make the trip up. Weekends are a no-no for me.

No, its my poor use of grammar. I'm regarding getting lost with train and franz while randorally and myself played the bad tourguide game.

Maybe if crash didnt lug around 195 XXXs, he might be a bit faster. But those come in handy every once in a while when an AK face pops un in the middle of smugglers notch. They are around, just really hidden.

Well, if you read the posts above my mentioning it, they have to do with skiing Killington. For instance, Highway Star mentions discounted K-mart passes. So maybe you're not trying hard enough. Or maybe it's just not worth it.

Pardon my ignorance...there are a lot of different discussions going on at once, just trying to piece it together...Nothing to see here...pay no attention to this man behind the curtain.

I called Jay yesterday, they don't do half price tix for other mtn passholders anymore, just $20 off. Still not a bad deal though. Also depending on where you stay they can give you vouchers for $35 tix good any day of the week. If you do have a pass somewhere else and then buy a multi day ticket at Jay it makes it really cheap after the $20/day off.

Bluebird, I'll be there Monday - Wednesday.

I know that I'll be there on Sunday. Saturday probably at Burke. I'll be at Jay from Sunday night through Wed.

So where and when are we meeting? I'll be at the Flyer around 10:30 Sunday morning, chrome helmet with a bunch of summit stickers on it and a pair of PM Gear Arno poles ;) ;) (PM Gear spam).

I am not a salesman, but I'm gussing that Dave (the owner of Phantom) would be interested in showing off the ski to maggot tree rats, in hope of a sale or two. In return, I'd like to see the good stuff at Jay, where I have never been. OK?

Do people still want stickers. If so, I have a nice design cooking. However we will need to find a better way to fund the project. I think schuss lost the farm last year in terms of payback on investment.

gravitylover

01-29-2006, 05:47 PM

Hey Benny, a pair of Phantoms to play with for a run or two would be awesome. L8A, I'll kick down some $$ for stickers. Last year I just bought beers but this time... I still have way too much empty room on my helmet that needs to be stickered up so anybody with some extras from the other summits this year should bring them with also.

As for lodging options I changed my room at the Jay Village Inn so the 4 bedroom apartment that sleeps 10 or 12 peeps should still be available. It costs $225/nt so if you load it up that's pretty cheap.

EstoBum

01-30-2006, 12:40 PM

I do not need accomodations, I've already got that setup for myself. I will actually only be skiing friday and saturday. Gotta start the 19 hr drive back on sunday. Not sure I'll be able to ski with the maggots the whole time, but should be able to get some solid skiing in.

I would love to try a pair of the phantoms look at the construction, etc. However, I'm 99.99999% sure that I will not be buying a pair due at this time to spending most every last penny to get to jay and being a grad student.

Stickers, I'm up for some, but I've got no clue what was done the last couple of years. If there's only a dozen of us how expensive could it be? I'm willing to throw a few canadian pesos in if its reasonable.

And I think I was at that belfry restaurant last year, and if I was, it does kick ass.

if you can get 15 people to ski w/you at Jay this weekend, you get a season pass for the rest of this year:

The 6-pack – with a twist
The usual 6-apck is available (to and including Monday, February 6th). Groups of 6 people or more can ski or ride for just $39 (at par for Canadian guests). This rate includes a lift ticket, lunch, and a 2 for 1 coupon to visit again this season for every person in your group. Just send the following information to customerservice@jaypeakresort.com:
-The names of everyone in your group.
-When you plan on visiting (up ‘til and including Monday, February 6th)
-How you intend to pay (Canadian guests must pay in cash to get the rate at par.

The twist is that if you organize a group of 15 people or more, you (the group leader) will get a free season pass good for the rest of this season. You need to visit on or before the 6th and you have to have a minimum of 15 people – you can have more than 15 but not less. Again, e-mail customerservice@jaypeakresort.com to sign up.

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.

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. :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

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.

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. :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

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?

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

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. :biggrin:

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

02-21-2006, 01:11 PM

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

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

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..

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.

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

02-28-2006, 06:08 AM

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.

02-28-2006, 07:43 PM

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 :eek:
$560.85 per person triple occupancy :confused:
$468.59 per person quad or more occupancy :cussing:
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.

Anyone else looking for a place? Thinking about an apartment at the Jay Village Inn. It's 45/per person each night, but we could say there's 6 and squeeze a few more in.

I'm in. Since you're driving, I might be able to drink enough beer to find my pool groove. And if that happens, y'all best watch out.

Also, I have a 2-for-1 coupon that I won't be needing. I'll check for any restrictions when I get home - if it's valid, it's up for grabs for, well, two maggots.

Sick and ashamed and happy (and Mit and I will be in position to report on conditions tomorrow night),

I'll be there from Sunday trough Wednesday.

That apartment at the Jay Village Inn is actually four bedrooms with a kitchen and the grocery store is right downstairs. It should cost $250/nt so if you put ten people in... The Inn also has vouchers for $35 lift tix. I'm staying there so you'll have someone to drink with.

Franz Klammer

This sounds pretty sweet. I'm just bummed that I will most likely be working since I do every weekend. If there was a meeting place/time that would be cool to know just in case. You guys should all come party at the Snowshoe in Montgomery. Good bar with bands on the weekend. The Belfry is the best place to eat in town, followed by the J.V.I. Be sure to stop by your friendly neighborhood ski shop for all your shopping needs!;)

gravitylover

03-02-2006, 05:07 PM

Yup, they are the hotel/bar across the street but they took over (managing anyway) the apt this year. They told me they renovated it last summer too.

Speaking of local ski shops - I'll be there for four days so will definitely be in need of some bench space for waxing at least. I travel with all my own tools so I'm pretty self sufficient but a shop would be nice to have access to. Can this be worked out somehow (like for beer)?

Meeting place? I said it somewhere else but, I'll be at the bottom of the flyer around 10:30 and again at noon on Sunday looking for change.

gincognito

Mit and I will be there Saturday and will be looking for some apres activity as well. Beer, pool and pizza at the Village Inn is the loose plan.

I also just realized that the coupon I have is only valid mid-week for this time of year :cussing: .

Gonna miss the mini and go ski Pico :( Pretty bummed but with my MCL sprain plus other commitments I haven't been able to ski since late January and tomorrows gonna be the first day back on skis.

Train07 - thanks for the offer. Turns out it won't be necessary now.

The only constraint is: I have to get back to Boston by Monday 11am.

See you "crazy people from the Internet" tomorrow.
