Snowboarding/Skiing Trip

Hi Everyone,

I know I have spoken with a few people who ski/snowboard. Anyone interested in a day trip or w'end getaway - in Jan or Feb? For the day, I typically head up to Camelback, or Shawnee. I have been to Killington (VT) but I'm hesitant to go back. I still consider myself a fairly novice snowboarder, so Killington was a bit expensive for someone of my skill level.

That said, I am open to all input, ideas, suggestions and/or help in planning.

Holly

Hey Holly! Sure, I haven't been snowboarding in a couple of seasons and I am itching to get back. Let me know what the plan is! Chalk me up!

John - I like Camelback, so I would def go. And, thanks for the info re: Mt Snow - that is really nice of you to offer. Define 'couple' people : ). We can work around your schedule for that one, maybe pick a w'end that works well for you and just plan it.

Jeff - I didn't get to go last season, and only got out a handful of times the few years before that, so I'm right there with you. I will def keep you (and this post) updated.

Holly, I am excited to finally see someone post about the ski season. I am definitely in for doing any of the ny day trips or being involved in a group weekend get away. I would also recommend a day trip to Elk (in PA) or Wyndham (in NY). I would definitely like to hear more on the MT Snow trip also.

This is so funny I was just about to post myself asking for ski/snowboard buddies to hit the slopes with. I am ready to go anytime anywhere. Killington and Okemo are a lot of fun for a few day trip. I go to Camelback too, but it gets very crowded, I prefer Bellayre NY - longer drive, but hey they let you ski for free on your Birthday ;) Anyhow, count me in.

Anybody wants to go this Saturday the 18th of December?

Hi Tanya -

I've never been to Bellayre, but it's fun to check out new slopes, so I am always open to suggestions. Ironically, Saturday IS my birthday, but of course there are 100 things going on with holiday parties etc. Guess I can start planning my ski party for next year : ) Keep me updated, and we will try to get some trips going.

Hi Peter, And, I am glad to see some interest. I just wanted to get the ball rolling, but I am open to suggestions for places, and hopefully we can coordinate some fun trips.

I am glad to see some immediate interest - I'm always looking for people to hit the slopes with. I just wanted to get the ball rolling, so feel free to throw out suggestions for places, dates etc. I will try to keep everyone updated. If I haven't sent one already - feel free to send me a friend request, and I can send a quick group email out for any spur of the moment, or possible day trips. Or, if you want to propose a w'end trip - we can even start a new discussion in the forum, specific to that trip. I look forward to making you all laugh as I fall down and make snow angels to ice my back : ) PS - I've never been snowmobiling, so if any of the w'end trips have an affordable package for that - I'd like to cross if off my "list" this winter.

I am definitely up for all kinds of skiing in January and February. Like a couple others have said, I was thinking about starting one of these threads myself.

I am down for a weekend trip or just a day trip...a night ski at Mountain Creek may not be a bad idea either.

Here is a thought.. We can always piggy-back on this trip.. Go up for the day or the week-end. Camelback is not that far. Have two groups from NJYP go. As for the dates, I am pretty good to go. Nothing planned as of yet.

I could do the week-end trips the 22nd and the 29th of January. Take the lessons again and then hit it up again in Feb.

Hi Holly, I would be interested in getting group of people to Hunter Mountain or Windham Mountain both are in New York about 3 hour from the Bridgewater area or I would go to blue Mountain there is very little for people that are black Diamond skiies in PA.
