It's about that time of the year! Only 2 months to go until the beginning of the season. Let's share some vacation plans, meet-ups, and new gear.
2007 - 2008 Thread
This year it's whistler (again) and several trips to Colorado (fortunately i will be working from Colorado very few weeks this winter). I'd love to hit up Europe, but that may be too long for my work schedule. I'd be open to doing an early season Vermont day/weekend trip if anyone is down. |

mountain creek most likely won't be open during thanksgiving. resorts in vermont certainly will be open, and hunter and windham will likely be operational (although they suck until mid december). |

i plan on going to lake tahoe with a club that i'm a member of. they're quoting packages to tahoe for about 800 dollars. 7 days, 6 nights, air to sac-town, transportation to tahoe, 4 days lift that can be used interchangeably at heavenly, sierra-at-tahoe, squaw, kirkwood and alpine. they're also doing vail and jackson hole but tahoe's the cheapest of the three thus far.
mmm yeah, looking forward to the season with a fully rehabbed knee! lol at my going to utah to board only 10 weeks after surgery last winter.
*edit* oh duh, lodging is included with the package also :p |

that's an amazing deal, it actually doesn't sound correct. Air alone should run about 400+. If you've never been to tahoe, the only mountains worth checking out are squaw, kirkwood, and alpine meadows. i would also take the 2 hour drive south to mammoth. |
