EC MINI POLL

[Brock Landers]

Where are we going to ski/dates can also be discussed in the thread.

Can we also have a disclaimer- if it starts to really dump, can everyone just go to Jay? Also, you can vote for more than 1- I guess we can just take the place with the most votes? And I got checkbox happy- your votes are in full view.

Personally I cant go Feb 2-11 or March 9-11. If those are the dates, those are the dates...Im just sayin

[Free Range Lobster]

sb or sr

im all about the su's

In the long run, can always go into panic mode and drive like assholes straight for Jay.

[Bluebird]

I went with Killington, but with the caveat that if we get snow in So. VT we head to Magic for a day.

[dogwonder]

Old stand-by's...SB / MRG / JP...

[ECbum]

I voted for Sunday River and think the Chapman Inn would be a great place to book some beds in, in the abscence of a house to crash in.

The Dorm fits 20 with a kitchen and bunks...could be fun.

Can't make it for a week, but would drop in for a day or two whenever it is.

March is a bust, I'll be in the woods of the Kanc for 10 days and then Jackson and Alta for 10 days! :fmicon:

[Andyzee]

I'm a regular at Killington, so I chose Sugarbush and Stowe. Both good mountains with something for everyone.

[Raps]

Where is the PNW option?

:D

[dogwonder]

Where is the PNW option?

:D

That's a week in March... :wink:

[tex1230]

Voted Killington...and I'd be more likely to show in March than Feb...

[willywhit]

I'm a regular at Killington, so I chose Sugarbush and Stowe. Both good mountains with something for everyone.how about a poll for who has asc passes ? not likely gonna buy a lift ticket after only using my pass a handful of times.
andy seen this ?

kinda like, I hate steve
Brock, you voted for Nashoba, didn't you ?
where the hell is GUNSTOCK on the list ?

[Brock Landers]

I didnt vote for nashoba...who the fuck did though? weird. I forgot about Gunstack. Sorry about that. You might have to write it in. Looks like Jay Peak has a narrow lead so far....

[Core Shot]

I didnt vote for nashoba...who the fuck did though? weird.....

Damien Sanders a/k/a Highway Star :FIREdevil

Again, for the 20th time, I'm not Highway Star. I just thought it would be funny if they held it at Nashoba.

Anyway, I did happen to see that Highway Star made a special request that Killington invite the maggots for the EC Mini, and that they hook you up. But, that may be counterproductive, because I don't think Killington likes HS very much. K-Zone posting:

http://www.killingtonzone.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15034

If it's held at Stowe, Killington, or Sugarbush, I'll try to make it for at least one day.

[BeanDip4All]

I have nothing but love for you New Hampshirites & Mainiacs, but unless my coworker wants to lend me his private jet, I am going to only be able to make VT area places for a weekend mini. Therefore I vote anywhere in VT... pref Jay but not picky.

I was thinking abou this earlier- its such a hassle to get to NH/Maine from SW CT and NYC, VT might be a better option. And I would pref Jay. Not trying to swing any votes

[willywhit]

did anyone invite the Stormchaser ? A public flogging would be kinda cool.
This is retarded ! Killington is 14 °F right now and -3 °F blowing 20 mph
WTF ?

[Tuckerman]

Killington?? There is already a option for NASHOBA VALLEY. Jay or Smuggs or Gulf of Slides.

[soul_skier]

how bout a summit at tuckermans?

[MassLiberal]

Sugarloaf should probably be on the list. Tied w/ Jay and Stowe as the best terrain in the east.

[Plakespear]

If for some reason you all lose your minds and decide to go to Mt. Snow, there will be festivities at the Plakespear Mansion. Amenities include a barbecue, hot tub, and separate refridgerator for beer.

[Brock Landers]

Apparently Jay it is? New poll for dates will be up shortly.

[Woodsy]

whoa whoa hwoaoaoaoaoaoa
hold the fucking phone
there is skiing on the East coast?

[crashnburn'd]

whoa whoa hwoaoaoaoaoaoa

Yes. Ever heard of Mountain Creek? It's a ski area in New Jersey. It has a creek and it's on a mountain.

[gravitylover]

How come nobody ever thinks of Burke? I keep wanting to try it and it's not that hard to get to, easier than Jay. That and it's cheaper.

[Jay's Dip Powcher]

I vote for Jay, it is going to have some of the best snow quality and that is just how it is. If you just want to get together fuck let's go to Blue Hills or better yet Bradford and just get drunk and compare skis ;)

[Tuckerman]

Lets keep Burke on the DL.

[MassLiberal]

blue hills is closed.

Nashoba?:fmicon:

Jay Peak it is I guess, on March 3/4?

Can we get a group rate at Jay with say 20 people ?
Let's rent a airport shuttle and take it up to Saint Kate's St in Mont REAL !
throw it down , maggot style:yourock:

I have seen 2 for 1 coupons at Subway and there is this.
http://www.jaypeakresort.com/en/jay_peak/964/


sixpack@jaypeakresort.com[/email] to reserve.

*The 2 for 1 coupon is valid on full price Adult ($59) and Junior ($43) tickets only.

[Brock Landers]

39 bucks if you have another season pass too

[scarlet begonias]

No Magic Mountain on the list??

In that case, my vote would be north - Jay, Sugarbush, MRG...

[willywhit]

I remember those subway coupons from last year- can't seem to find anything about them online, tho. Fuck it, flash my pass and $39 bucks ain't bad.
It would be sweet to just hit a subway on the way up and grab a coupon, tho.
Anyone gonna be at Sugarbush tomorrow $14 bucks?
Might do Mt Snow or Killington depending on how the storm rolls in.

[Tuckerman]

I can grab a bunch of coupons at the subway near me.

[willywhit]

I can grab a bunch of coupons at the subway near me.
I grabbed 4 on the way back from Killington last night.

[gravitylover]

Damn. Can't make it. Gotta work Saturday and gonna be headed for NH on Sunday eve. Anybody around North Conway/Wildcat/Bretton Woods the next few days after this?

[PappaG]

So what exactly is the verdict on the EC summit?


And 60% on some sort of Pico/Magic combo this weekend for me.

[willywhit]

i have watched the drop ins on the road up and really want to do some backside lines and work the car back around. any locals want to help out-
quoted from a snowboard website, sounds like a good idea...maybe ...???

[Brock Landers]

i have no idea what theyre talking about. whats the word on this weekend? Jay?

[Dexter Rutecki]

This is the first I've seen of this thread, my bad.

I will be at Jay for the DH this weekend. I guess I'll see some maggots??

[PappaG]

As posted in the other thread in the main forum, I vote for Killington. March 31-April 1 for the BMMC.

[danhikeski]

ya, whats up? Are a few maggots meeting at jay for the mini or... just haven't seen more than people asking that question, but no answer

[train07]

dan, no offense, but ...what the fuck are you trying to say?

[train07]

by the way...I blame the wine

[snowsprite]

This is classic EC mini right here! ;)

Sprite

[danhikeski]

dan, no offense, but ...what the fuck are you trying to say?


I'm asking the same question as dexter is, when the fuck is the mini? I haven't heard anything except this thread for location, and the other for a date but, is it this weekend or as Sprite says? Basically, I have read posts in the past that we (east coasters) can't figure out / coordinate a date to meet up. Neither of the threads gives a definate... anything

btw, no offense taken, or given, back to you.

[snowsprite]

I don't think it's happening this weekend...but we really should have one. I'd like to, anyway!

Shall we try this again? I can be persistent...

Sprite

(and I like BMMC weekend at Killington as a possibility for its party potential, but I've never been to Jay and would really like to go!)

[snowsprite]

Would next weekend (10th and 11th) work better for everyone/anyone?

I'd be up for Jay next weekend if we could get a handful of us to meet up. I'll even bake some brownies.

And if nobody shows up, they make great hockey pucks. I can mail them out to anyone who PMs me.

oh, brownies, what kind?

or

oh, brownies, what, KIND?:fmicon:

[train07]

I think we need another poll. Anyway, the EC mini already happened at Magic a couple weeks ago...or so I heard...I think I was there....I just didn't see anyone else.

[laseranimal]

next weekend would be MUCH better for me. So thats obviously the best reason for having the mini then:FIREdevil

[snowsprite]

Okay, so Laser and me and who knows--maybe even that smart-ass Train07 could do the mini next weekend.

What about everyone else? Jay Peak next weekend...or perhaps the 17th/18th?

And no more poles dammit!
:p
Sprite

[train07]

Sprite

Now Sprite, no offense, but...what the fuck are you trying to say?

[snowsprite]

Whoa, wait a minute! The Kick Cancer's Ass party is on the 10th...so it would have to be the 17th weekend instead.

Uh, I think I'm trying to say "what the fuck!"
:D
Sprite

[stuckathuntermtn]

can it be a weekday?! i work retail hours :(

[road trip]

So, ummm... I'm looking for friends the weekend of March 17th through 18th for some skiing north of Killington. Anybody? Is that a *new* mini date??

[buckethead]

oh, brownies, what kind?

or

oh, brownies, what, KIND?:fmicon:

mmmmmm. KIND!!!:biggrin:

so when is this thing? 17th??

[L8APX]

Just so you don't miss the second ec mini, it will be this weekend at Jay. I'll look for the maggots and ask change Friday - Sunday. You can find me in a baby shit green cloudveil jacket with halfast in a red one and schuss in nipple bells.

[soul_skier]

When is the EC gaper day, preferably stowe, but I can wrangle jay or the bush as well

[snowsprite]

I'd be in for the weekend of 17th-18th...who else? (L8APX can you do both?)

I have never skiied Jay and would really like to say I did before the season is out.

As for what kind of brownies...the shriveled up hockey puck kind out of the box. Only kind I know how to make. You think I'd waste anything truly worthy of being baked with the shit baking skills I have? There are better uses!
;)

EC maggots are as lame and disorgnaized as EC snowstorms

[soul_skier]

I think we shoud forego the summit and start planning a weekend of absurdness up at tucks. Something in which people hike in saturday morning, ski all day, drink all the booze they brought in that morning, crash in the shelters, ski all day sunday and bounce.

now THAT sounds like a summit:yourock:

yes, count me in...
i take it this would happen april or later?

[snowsprite]

Soul skier, I like your idea very much. Count me in!
:)
Sprite

[Brock Landers]

I guess i could do Jay the 16th and 17th. I just want to get back to Boston to get drunk on St Pattys day and sAturday night. Anyone want to ski Fri/Sat? Or have a place to crash Fri night?

And the Tux idea sounds great.

[laseranimal]

tucks absurdness sounds FANTASTIC

weekend of April 21st isn't too late

always wanted to spend my Birthday skiing tucks

[road trip]

Anybody know roughly how long a drive to Tucks takes from NJ?? I *need* to do this.

Just to follow-up - - - still looking for friends the weekend of 17th-18th. If I don't here of anything specific, I'll probably just see what the weather is like next week and book northern VT if it looks colder, but SoVt if it appears that it'll be a warm spring skiing weekend ('cause bumps are bumps are bumps).

Fly. Id say 5.5 hours from NYC with juts a bit of traffic figured. 1 hour to Fairfield, 2 hours to 495, 2.5 hours to P-Notch.

so is april 21/22 the date to pencil in?


also looking to hit magic saturday...anyone else gonna be there?

[uppernotmaster]

Myself, Bluebird, Bumpskier, Elevens all will be @ Magic this saturday each with there own crew.

On the hill look for neon yellow exploders or old school chubb rockers. In the lodge we'll be upstairs @ the tables by the bar. We'll be hard to miss.

I'll be dressed in black on Iggy's.

I'd be in for the weekend of 17th-18th...who else? (L8APX can you do both?)

I have never skiied Jay and would really like to say I did before the season is out.

OK, newbie chiming in here. Some of you know me, but most don't.

Sprite, I'm giving the locals' tour on the 17th to a group of my girlfriends who have never been to Jay. The plan is to introduce them to powder/off-piste/trees. I would love to have you join us if you're interested. Respond here or via PM.

We'll be up at Jay this Saturday too. I'm in a yellow Arc'Teryx jacket and green hat, my husband may or may not have his patroller jacket on (don't worry, skiing with a patroller is a lot more fun than you might think! :wink: ). I believe one of our missions this weekend is to make The D safe for all mankind... :biggrin:

Soul skier, my husband and I might be able to do the Tucks trip. Would like to hear more about this.

I can vouch for the quality of the tour you will receive.
Falldice (aka: Alfonze/Alan) myself and one another were given an excellent day's tour of Jay's excellent trees a couple of springs back. The face chutes, which were a bit firm that day, aren't to bad either...nor were the massive corn bumps on CanAm. Damn, I was thinking I wouldn't have to drive all the way uop there this season, but now i'm getting myself all stoked...by this time of year, i feel a little burnt out from all the drives to MAD:eek:

(Hi SST...I believe I met you as Attagirl on epic? And yes, your husband was fun and laid back - not your stereotypical patroller)

Hey buckethead, I was actually hoping you'd speak up! :biggrin: That was a great day, wasn't it? Fat skis, sunburns, spring conditions. Any time you're up for another trip, let me know.

However, you are a bad boy, I'm using a diff name here on purpose, but thankfully you got that other name wrong! LOL You are thinking of the right person, just the username is a bit different than what you recall. That comes with getting old, though...or having to drive so far to get to the real snow. :tongue:

Yes, one of the finest days of the season...if i was on the 105mm skis i'm on now, i would have taken a shot at the pond skim! Thanks, will do.

Whew! Glad I didn't out you then. At least i didn't call you Bonni :biggrin:
I'm only old and road weary during the work week (i also haven't been at that other board much since...i came over here)...and come 3am saturday morning i'm refreshed+rejuvenated:cool:

Hope to see you at Jay and/or Tux:)

[SheSkisTrees]

if i was on the 105mm skis i'm on now,

You'll need those if you come up here anytime soon! You should have seen it the other day: snowing like crazy, one of the patrollers takes out his Prophet 130s with telly binders, hikes up to the summit, and just as he drops into the Face, sun comes out and shines on him as he floated down...to the cheers of all the folks standing at the top of the Bonni chair. :yourock:


Hope to see you at Jay and/or Tux:)

Either would be awesome.

Now, back to our regularly scheduled program of when the heck people are coming up to Jay... :wink:

[Bluebird]

cool...i'll be on W9.1FFs or recent vintage machetes. if my stickers arrive in time, i'll have one on the maroon helmet (which has "MAD" sticker right on top).

I knew i was emailing a maggot yesterday. Nice pic dropping one of the bands on red line. yes, there will be lots of Maggots at magic this weekend. Gravitylover, elevens and plakespear will be at Magic on Friday if anyone else can break away.

Wow SST...the answer is YES! I would love to do this. I'll be PMing you next week to get details. I have to figure out what I'm doing...as I think I have a 3 hr trek to get up there I think? I may have to go up a day early and ski K on Friday then drive up and hit up Jay. Are there good/cheap places to stay in that area?

Thank you! This sounds fantastic :)
