Absolutely. Never done it before, but looking into it. How do you usually get up there? Skinning Shurburne (sp?) trail seems like a good way--I just need to get setup for AT, which I'm working on.

I've seen black diamonds! - let me know when you're thinking.
Skis - yes Sherburne

there are going to be plenty of mags hitting tux 4/25 as per the EC thread. I'll probably go twice this year.

i'm going up with some non-mags in middle april. would like to go april 25th but its not going to work out for me.

I'd have interest in doing Tuck's although it would be a first for me. Other then timefortuckerman.com, tuckerman.org, friendsoftuckerman.org, and the search function on this forum anyone have any resources for a first timer? Thanks.

that should get you started....there are some AMC books if you want to search amazon.

Those maps were sick (and I it might be the long week but I see less green and more red on the windham side)...

That being said, Windham doesnt have $hit for woods skiing whereas a great time can be had at Okemo...

Is anyone driving anywhere from NYC this weekend? Resort? Backcountry?? I'm also up for splitting a rental car. I need to ski this weekend.

hmmmmm, that is tempting. just got back from a corn fest st MRG and it was sweet.

I'm out of town myself..

heading up to Hunter Mountain tomorrow, 6:30 AM. If anyone wants to share a ride and spring day pm me.

True, no woods skiing at Windham, but if you stick to the 3 trails to the lookers right of the top (Wedel, Wolverine, and Wheelchair) and just do laps on the the Wheelchair Double chair, you can have a great day on some steep stuff there. Like a "mini" front four at Stowe It's a family mountain and very few people ski those runs and take that chair, so there are no lines and waiting.

And they did a better job with managing their snow there this year after last year's washout 2nd half of the season.

And the Hunter is closer think makes me laugh. Yeah, by 7 minutes... Just sayin'

Do you mean they actually blew some finally? Because I skied Windham about two weeks after I skied Hunter early season, and whereas the latter already had west open Windham offered us basically one crowded route down the mountain.

I won't bash it if anymore though, maybe I've just been there the wrong days (icy, crowded, limited terrain, too many children, haha) or something.

I posted a TR on the EC roll call thread describing my Hunter experience today which was seriously top notch. Have you guys ever thought about a ski the catskills season pass? That might get me to change my tune and try some other places in different conditions. if I could buy a reasonably priced blackout pass or something so I could ski with my friends who have passes or prefer other places, I'd be all for it.

Anyways.... I hear Belleayre got permission to ski really late this year, maybe the third week of April. They might even still be blowing snow, so maybe it will be hikable in May? That would kick serious ass.

Yeah, they sucked it up last year. Hopefully they'll open this weekend for the last weekend of the season as they did a better job this year keeping the snow better, longer. Keep me in mind for next season if you are heading up - I'm there most weekends and would be happy to show you the best of the worst (and I'll treat you to a beer at our place at the end of the day)

I might be. Would like to do Tucks but I don't have any experience with it.

I am. I'm in Brooklyn. Let me know what works schedule-wise.

I'd love to do Tucks next weekend. Not tomorrow, but heading up 4/17 or 4/18 from NYC. How is that for people?

This might work.

I'm in Utah or else. . .

Who is in for Tucks this weekend?

Wish I could but at a Bachelor Party down south.... looking at doing the following weekend though...

Okay... maybe this weekend sucks, but how is the following weekend?

Dudley, gm, are you in?

Bdawg, I'm still down for this weekend if you want to go. Let me know. Just mounted up some Dynafits which I'd like to try.
