    Post The Final Solution

    for Nu Yawkhuz is this: http://www.meetup.com/SeriousSkiBuddies/ as long as you're willing to ski Cannon and the White Mountains and mix in some ice and mountaineering. This ain't no meetup for losers, the socially handicapped or the "OOooooo, I've always wanted to try that!" dilettantes. Have a look at the trips and decide.

    If you climb sport this is a good group to fall in with. It's ski and ice in winter and Rumney the rest of the year.

    Anybody know of way to get discount hunter tickets for tomorrow (Dec. 18)??? I think I'll be up there, but probably not skiing hard since I have a broken finger that I'm trying to heal up. Red jacket, white pants, only using one pole and with a cheap ass mitten on the left hand.
    I wear crocs for the style, not the comfort.

    Think I'm going to stop by Potters, I'm almost as happy with a PB&J as $15 worth of ski resort food

    NYC Mags

    Hey Mommio,

    A lot of my family lives in the outer Philly area suburbs and Dad works in Philly. What most of them usually do when they come up for a visit to Manhattan unless they are visiting me in good ol Brooklyn is to drive to NJ Transit in Trenton and take the train into Manhattan. Check with the station because I think you can pay for overnight parking etc. and it will be far less than what youd pay in NYC. Also, NJ Transit will cost less than Amtrak or a flight. Its our familys tried and true method.

    As for what to do, its certainly nice to go up to the Empire State Building - expect a bit of a long queue and be sure to have photo ID and a security check. I think its nicest to go up at night - the city sparkles

    Is this your first sojourn to NYC? Id bypass the Statue of Liberty, literally, by taking a roundtrip on the Staten Island Ferry; you get it for super cheap, you get to go by the Statue - well close enough, and most cameras have a zoom lens - and a great view of New York Harbour too, on the return trip as you approach Manhattan again. Almost all of my out-of-town visitors now do this as a satisfying alternative.

    I would suggest you check out "Time Out New York" online, if they are online - if not, get one as soon as you arrive into Penn Station to find out the latest and most up to date happenings in the City.

    Theres great shopping, great museums - a lot of people overlook the Cloisters - an annex of the Metropolitan museum, which is a truly amazing representation of architecture typical of European classic sites but interesting to see on the upper West side of Manhattan The Museum of the Moving Image is a lot of fun; MOMA; Guggenheim uptown or down in SOHO.

    Wandering around Greenwich Village is fun -cool shops, cafes and strange little streets where you never know what youll find.

    As for the cruise - I dont know about the Chicago boat - so do you want something with dinner & entertainment? Or do you want something like the Circle line snacks and beverages available which will point things out to you as you circle the island. The two more luxury options would be the Spirit of New York and World Yachts; both are docked on the West Side - dont have their exact Pier numbers but a google search will bring it up.

    Theres also Chelsea Piers where there are a multitude of things to do but the most interesting that Ive discovered thus far and its free is a 20 minute enclosed kayaking venture in the Hudson River You can also whack some golf balls if anyone is so inclined, among a bunch of other things but I think the kayaking is the coolest.

    I also think its nice to spend some time up on the upper deck of the Seaport, down near Fulton Street. Just get a drink/soft drink and go outside; there are lounge chairs, and just enjoy the view - take in NY as it passes by in the water - tugs pushing barges, various other water craft, take in all three bridges: the Brooklyn, Manhattan & Williamsburg.........just for a little relax, and then after youve had a nice spell, move on. There are shops but most of them are either pricey boutiques or chain stores.

    So, theres plenty more info to give - depending upon how many days youll be with us and what are your particular interests? Shout back if you have more questions - Ill be here in Brooklyn, waiting to move, but hopefully just around the corner. I need to come down to PA to get my car inspected but Im suffering from Chronic Fatigue sydrome after getting over Whooping Cough and so I cant make the drive just yet. Luckily, the NYPD doesnt ticket me My Dads in Horsham, my sister is moving to Newtown and the other lives in King of Prussia - anywhere near you?

    Waiting here for ya in NYC

    ^^gonna have a non-mag crew at belleayre, most likely, unless something crazy happens with these snow bands today.

    keep out an eye for the red orage jacket and BRO's in the lift line if you're around there.

    anybody toured at all in the cats yet? curious about coverage as I'm finally getting skins for the latest skis this week. Word around hunter last week was pretty sketchy on the hiking trails.

    headed to hunter because I ski free there through work. Def up for hitting belleayre some other time. I think coverage in the catskills will be much better after this storm. I was up at hunter on wednesday and some areas were bone dry.

    I live in NJ, typically fly out of EWR or Philly, but it looks a whole lot cheaper to get out of JFK to SLC this march. I'm basically wondering how much of a pain in the ass it is to get there from the Upper West Side with skis (I can stay at my GFs place the day before). I'm happy to leave plenty early to get there. Is it a major pain in the ass taking the subway with skis or do you all just take a cab?

    uws to jfk?

    Subway to the E at 50th... take that to the airtrain. Another 6 bucks or something gets you in that. travel time is under an hour and under ten bucks. i wouldn't want to do it again with more than one pair in the ski bag, but not that bad.

    Yeah, its like $240-260 out of JFK roundtrip with jetblue (1st bag is free) if you're ok taking a redeye or or like 360-400 out of philly with southwest. Im thinking I'll just try the subway since it looks like we'd be avoiding rush hour.

    Yeah that's true. Lotsa peeps up in VT and beyond. NYC is such a shitty base of ops for skiing if you're not rich. Skiing in the city parks is fun as shit though. I was hoping for a bit more snow here instead of rain

    I'd be out if I didn't have a brand new job.
    Do you have a car? Why don't you let people know you're offering a ride on any pow day to points north. Someone will come skiing with you.

    There are a lot of people trying to get out of the nyc area to go skiing all the time.
