- Thread starter MMcG
- Start date
I got it from Dennis (one of the DH riders) at Plattekill. He's there every race weekend, just look for him and he can hook you up (tell him I sent younarlus said:
)I would love to hit Bromont...perhaps a fall trip is in order as my summer is way over-booked with fun outings :devil:
Jozz, I will have another vacation starting July 23rd (my birthday) and running through until Monkeyfest Sunday. Most of that time will be spent with my sons. I may try and sneak up to the KT area on Thursday night or early on Friday though.Jozz said:Nice work people!!
So I guess you are all ready for Bromont now!!
So Mark, vacation end of July, could you be more specific? :
I would love to come up to Quebec and ride this season - but maybe later in the year - I don't have the busy calendar that IAB has.
Busy schmusy!!MMcG said:Jozz, I will have another vacation starting July 23rd (my birthday) and running through until Monkeyfest Sunday. Most of that time will be spent with my sons. I may try and sneak up to the KT area on Thursday night or early on Friday though.

Ok for fall then!
Well the Mt Snow lift opened at 9:00, so 9-4 isn't bad.tonyhawk said:
Thanks for the Jiminy invite, but me and the wife are heading to Florida for a week Saturday.
Jozz - the invitation is two way of course - you and Karine are always welcome down here as well.Jozz said:Busy schmusy!!

The lifts opened at 9 and we were practically the only DHers on the Mtn, so we got our fair share of runs in and then some.
I may be down with Jiminy on Sunday - weather permitting - the forecast looks crappy right now, but that can change on a dime right?
Ugh, I was up at 5:20 in the morning yesterday.tonyhawk said:
Yeah but it was easier to get up early to go DHing than it is to get up early to go into work.I Are Baboon said:Ugh, I was up at 5:20 in the morning yesterday.
hey, I just realized i have no plans for this w/e (my canoe trip is next weekend)
I could be in for Jiminy.....oh wait -- pedros is this w/e - Jiminy may be packed??
ps: How can I get into Pedros w/o buying a w/e pass?? I want to say Hi to erica at the Outdoor magazine booth!!!

my memory sucks, that was her name, correct??
anyways, I jumped out of a plane once, once was enough!
next idea !
I don't know what her name was, I wasn't the one flirting with her - that was your job to get her name straight muchambo.douglas said:

DOH! I'm pretty sure it was Erica
did you look thru that outdoor magazine? there was a tiny picture of her in it
I haven't, but I have about ten copies of the magazine at my apartment.......I think I got stuck with our team's swag bag, or maybe some other teams swag bag - and all it had left in it was the magazines and brochures and crap.douglas said:
I just emailed you seeking some advice on another topic bro.
Cheers,
MMcG
Great story,. Mark.

So, who's up for ditching work again and riding some more DH? :devil:
TreeSaw said:
ditching work??
umm, you HAVE the summer off !!
Where else is open during the week?
I think Jiminy Peak is open during the week now. :devil:douglas said:
Yeah, but I uh, have housework which always sucks!douglas said:
I think Jiminey Peak is open mid-week and Gore should be opening up soon too!!!
neaky:If I understood the lift guy correctly (50-50 chance of that) the main lift is open 12-5 on Sat\Sun and holidays. The small lift is open every day 11-9. Lift tix are $20.
Main lift takes about 6 minutes to the top and you get ~1100 feet of vertical drop on runs that are about a mile long. The small lift takes closer to 15 minutes and you get ~550 feet of vert over half-mile runs.
I'm planning to go this Sunday from 11 till I can't feel my arms and legs...
