might take next weekend off. My back has been hurting a lot, and I skied 4 out the past 7 days, with every day being a fairly full one.

I won't be skiing up north next weekend. As much as I would LOVE to ski a three-day weekend, it's just not worth it for me to pay those prices to deal with those crowds. Would rather save that money for Tahoe. Believe it or not, I'm going to hit MC and/or HV a couple of mornings. It's only a 35-40 minute drive and at HV, I can get a 1/2 day ticket.andyzee wrote:I'm one of the poor shlobs that got a Bronze Pass and won't be skiing K next week. Most likely gonna head over to Sugarbush, (but I'll still try to make HH, we had fun!) got vouchers at Hannford's for $52. Just wondering what some of you other underprivileged folks will be doing.
Damn, wonder what the crowds will be like at MC over the weekend.Skibumtress wrote:I won't be skiing up north next weekend.

Thank you AndyZee and V, I appreciate the invite.... I really do but I think I'll stay down south this weekend. Haven't hit SB this year yet and I really want to before the season ends.andyzee wrote: My feelings exactly, that's why I decided to go with the Bronze, wouldn't want to be there on those days anyway. Plus, it gives me the opportunity to check out other slopes. Bummy, your still invited
Don't know but my thinking (or stupidity) is that maybe the crowds won't be so bad 'cause that's a vacation week for the kiddies so maybe they're all headed up north??? Anyway, I'm going to go real early for first chair and at least ski the morning.andyzee wrote:Damn, wonder what the crowds will be like at MC over the weekend.Skibumtress wrote:I won't be skiing up north next weekend.

I'll ski with you this weekend Bling up in your neck of the woods.BLING! wrote:andyzee wrote:My feelings exactly, that's why I decided to go with the Bronze, wouldn't want to be there on those days anyway.

I value my carcass to highly to expose it to "rubber legged skid skiers" who are out to squeeze every last minute of their very expensive annual ski vacation out of the slopes. The idea of trying to carve a nice line on a trail littered with bodies and marauding, out of control "experts" is chilling to say the least. I will be at a quilt show (Quilting is my wife's passion which keeps her safely home and lets me ski wherever, whenever, and with whomever I want without worrying about "getting a good" room, going to a "nice" dinner, "isn't it getting too cold," or driving the long way because "there are better bathrooms" on that route.) in Hampton VA and then visiting my son's future in-laws for a couple of days in Charlotte NC. I will of course get in a couple of days at K this coming week just before the hoards arrive to wreak their worst on that poor mountain.
Andy skiing on the black out dates is a mob scene....that is the reason i also went bronze......And bummy wont ski with me...
