Fossil2k2 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I'll be at Sunday River on Thursday through Sunday this week. 05 OBP LGT w/ Yakima Racks, gray helmet, navy and white Orage jacket, white pants, and Atomic Snoop Daddy's How do you like the Lords? It was a toss up between those and the Snoop Daddy's back in 2009 when the Lords just came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTStage2 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Make your way over to Killington and ill show you the real Stash! The Loaf is sweet too though for sure, minus falling chairlifts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil2k2 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 believe it or not, my home town auto mechanic was actually on the lift when it fell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTStage2 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Thats crazy, i'd say it would end my riding career but then again the sport is just too good to give up! Are you two skiers or boarders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainelydanks Posted January 5, 2011 Author Share Posted January 5, 2011 Ahh... I will be up at the Loaf this weekend, turning 27 on sunday! Sundayriver is a good time but the snow and night life is better at Sugarloaf. the Lords are a killer ski, not quite as bombproof as my old 1080s, but i havent found and eastcoast day they havent dominated. I like Killington also... ive skied there 3-4 times, but never had good conditions although Bear mtn was nice everytime (soft snow and sun) when the real mountain was in the clouds. That lift crisis was crazy, but a fluke. the story only blew up cause there was a CNN correspondent on the lift when it happend. Poor Sugarloaf... maybe it will thin out the crowds for me?

Fossil2k2 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I've never been to the loaf. It's been on my list of places to ski for a long long time. It's just another 1.5 hours on top of an already long drive from Boston. This week is college week at Sunday River. Lift tickets are 39 bucks mid week, my college ID is about 3 years old but still works like a charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTStage2 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I am a season pass holder at killington and for the month of jan i can bring 2 buddies a day for only $49 a ticket. Let me know if anyone wants to ride, we can go through the stash, that park is insane! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually make at least 1 Vermont trip a season... i think im gonna save it up for Jay peak, i havent been there yet and it looks like just my style... pow pow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTStage2 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I got nothing against the skiers who know how to ski!! But then again I also cant stand the boarders who can't board! Jay is awesome, haven't been this year but am planing on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTTuner Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I watched "Frozen" last night. Ski Maine but not at night, LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil2k2 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I watched "Frozen" last night. Ski Maine but not at night, LOL. UGH, my girlfriend actually made me watch this horrible movie with her. :facepalm: I think it might have been the worst movie I've ever seen. I did some night skiing at Sunday River on Friday. It was only an extra 5 bucks. They only have a few trails open at night. They run the groomers through right at 4:00 to clean up the trails. They also touch up all the parks. Awesome value for 5 bucks. We walked right onto the gondola every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainelydanks Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 That does sound sweet... ive only been night skiing once in my life but never at The River. i gotta check that out some time. The concept of that movie is ridiculous. Ive only seen the preview but: why not use your clothes to make a rope? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snow05gtRI Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 whered you go this past weekend? i had a pass to sunday river a few years ago but barely broke even on it ($700+ the 3 mountain one loon, SR, loaf... and thats getting it kinda early) ... i like the mountain but got sick of it after riding it for a season. too much crossing over if you want a long run, the vertical on each peak is not much. the woods sucked that season too and thats where i have my fun. though with that pass did 1 day up at the loaf in late spring (last weekend of april i think) and it was awesome. beautiful spring conditions, riding in a t-shirt and baseball hat and sunglasses with the snowpants vents wide open. it was the day they do the passholder BBQ, i think the last weekend of the season. lapped the mid-mountain lift all day and hiked up to the peak toward the end of the day. i could only imagine the awesomeness after a big storm...

mainelydanks Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 I was at the Loaf... sat was a great day, but the powder was insane on sunday. They had most of the lifts shut down tho and their main high speed quad got struck by lightening overnight during the storm so it wasnt booted up until 11. my legs were so smoked from sat that i could only put in about half a day on Sun. i dont go to Sunday River much (even though its closer) longer runs and better terrain at Sugarloaf. However if the weather is nasty, id rather be at Sunday River because the NW canadian wind that blows over the loaf is game ender. i ski and i hate the traversing at the River... i cant imagine snowboarding it!

brilliant sleeper Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I injured my ankle a month ago. I am ready to get back to the River by the end of the month. My cousin goes to school at UNE. He has a season pass there. I am having withdrawals about not skiing. I missed a great annual ski trip at Loon, where we stay at the Loon Village. I sprained my ankle the day before:spin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
