Alright so i'm doing it......i talked about the possibility in a post last month but now i'm finally sacking up and going all in. Instead of paying for pricey plane tickets and worrying about snow conditions, i'm going to follow the snow and keep an open itinerary. It has been a dream of mine and since this is my last year of college it's time to make it a reality. I've calculated gas prices and it will actually be cheaper than flying. I've got a gas guzzler but it will be good in the snow and fit all our gear. I'm going to be making the trip with 2 college buddies and we've lined up places to crash along the way. The narrowist skis i'm bringing will have an 89mm waist so i'm banking on finding the deep stuff no matter what it takes. Although we might not have internet at every stop, i will be checking the board to see where the maggots will be skiing in hopes that i can meet as many maggots as possible in my travels. I have places to crash so we're set with that, but it would be nice for maggots along the way to show us the goods. In return for any good will along the way, we will reward maggots with more than a few beers on us. Also we will be bringing 3 video cameras to capture the trip. Making movies is a hobby of mine so i'm planning on shooting a lot. My two buddies are not maggots but they lurk once in a while. Anyway, here is our tentative itinerary.......
12/29 - I leave NYC and head up to our meeting point in central NY (our college) - meet up with my buddies, pack up the car and drive STRAIGHT TO COLORADO!!!! Yes we are serious - we want to get there for new years so we are gonna split up in shifts and make an all out dash from NY to CO
12/31 - Arrive in Aspen to stay with a friend and party like rock stars for new years after a long post driving nap
1/1 - 1/8 - We are going to try and follow the CO storms so we are open to any CO mountain - definately the resorts up and down I-70, maybe head up to Steamboat
1/9 - 1/13 - Head over to Utah and stay with a friend at the U of U....ski mostly LCC, maybe some BCC
1/14 - 1/15 - Head all the way back to school, just in time for the first day of classes of the semester...........
You might think we are crazy but this trip will surely produce some epic/crazy stories - hopefully we can meet up with a lot of good people and maggots and get a lot of good ski days in....we are all adventurous so once we get out there we are just gonna let it flow and enjoy our time out there, wherever we end up.....
I know this is extremely broad, but if any maggots will be around during these 2+ weeks in any areas that we might be in, let me know so we can exchange #'s etc... Also if any maggot wants to hop in the truck and join us on any part of the journey that would be sweet. Like i said, i'd love to meet up with mags, ski as much as humanly possible, shoot lots of video and party like rock stars.....
