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.

Damn, wonder what the crowds will be like at MC over the 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.

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.

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...
I'll ski with you this weekend Bling up in your neck of the woods.
