Ski Trip 1/21: Interest?

[usernamenumber]

(Update: Bumped to 1/21)

As I mentioned on Twitter, I recently got to ski again for the first time in a bajillion years and had a grand time of it. I would like to go again. It turns out that Nashoba Valley has (mostly artificial) snow even as we speak. Probably not perfect, but I'm willing to give it a shot if anyone else is interested in making a day trip of it (it's only about 45-60 mins drive away). Rental + lift would be about $83.

First weekend day that works for me is 1/8. Anyone want in?

I've totally failed to learn to ski, despite trying several times. =)


If I'm feeling healthier, I'd be up for failing to learn to snowboard.


Also, FYI. I have little enough experience that a lot of this is probably ignorable.
Ski Bradford is a little closer and a comparably-sized park. Wachusetts isn't much further and has significantly longer trails (900' drop, v 225'). If you're willing to go closer to 2 hours away, you get into the larger areas (Gunstock, Pat's Peak, Sunapee).

Thanks for the information! I'm quite happy to talk about alternate plans if people are interested in doing so once all are aboard who're going aboard.

I would like to suggest Wachusett since Juldea and I both get cheaper lift tickets there through work and also the reasons Marphod stated.

Sounds good. That date works for you, then?

Ah, just saw Twitter. Great!

The 21st is tentatively good for the boy and me. The thought is that this would be a day trip, then? Are you offering to drive? :P I know *I* will be zonked out after spending a day skiing.

Yeah I'll drive. Ok, looks like we're on for 1/21! :)

OK, I'll run it past the boy.
