06-07 ski season

[xalexjx]

06-07 ski season, how many people will be there on sat? i still have to get my season pass, and if its anything like last year its going to be a mad rush, is it worth going or should i wait till the ski season gets a little better, i just got my new skis and want to try them out but dont want to destroy them the first day, so if i go i guess ill be on my old atomics,,

If I still lived there I would definately use my older skis till the base gets decent.

Since I don't .... I will live vicariously here on the board till my first skiing of the year --- which will be at Gore in the Middle of January.

But I am able to bicycle and camp year round so I am not complaining. I will ski about 15 days this year.

• 6 at Gore
  5 in Utah
  4 in Tahoe

i agree, my freinds wont come with me, they're all saying its not worth it. They just don't have the passion. I don't know about you guys, but i look forward to digging my edges in again from the moment i leave the lot in the end of march.... even if it is just doing laps, its still skiing.

i have friends like that. it sucks.

Ok. I was there and waited for the gondola to open (late) took one run and left. Not groomed and grass to ski through at the bottom. Whiteface had it together yesterday. Gore took a swing and missed big time today. Why they couldn't get a groomer on it and at least cover one trail is beyond me. it was 18' last night.

Gondola opened before 8:30...so it actually opened early. Closed for about 20 minutes due to a maintenance problem...I skied all morning and it was rough but got better as it skied out. actually were some nice early season bumps in places this afternoon. According to the lifties they have had a temperature inversion all week...colder in the base than the top. They said the other day it was 20 in the base area and the top of the gondola was 37 degrees. Can't bitch about skiing in the sun and getting the carbon out of the legs ... it will get better as soon as mother nature lets winter take its hold. Lots of areas are closed including many in vermont...they even put two small park features in just to let the free skier crew have some fun...didn't seem like a bad attempt at all to me, considering the weather issues.

By my watch, which is atomic, the gondola opened later than 8:30. I was in line, were you Mr. ADKMAN. The web site says 8:30.

I noticed you didn't mention the grass you had to ski through. I'm sure it was fun for some. I just think the missed today and could have done better. Your appologies for the crew sound like marketing. The Gore crew is second to none so I've come to expect more from them.

I really don't care what ski areas in Vermont due. I don't support their economy, I support North Creek and New York skiing.

im pretty impressed they put the rainbow up. and yeah the weather has been screwing them hard just like every place else, give em a break.
