powdahbonz Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 If i have missed it, my bad, but is there a locale slated for ECES 2009 yet? I'd like to put a vote in for 2 locations.........#1 Sugarloaf--yes I know but why not again...........#2 Jay Peak-----look if we get dumped on, everyone can play on their all mountain set-ups. Loaf would be great, speaking as a Mainah's perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex1230 Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 talk to Jack, but My understanding was that they are only doing it every other year at this point - 2010 will be the next one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Right, ECES went biannual after 2004, so 2010 it is. Personally, I think this keeps it fresh for everyone (including us organizers - it's like planning a wedding!) That's not to say anyone else can't organize a different session in the off years. As for the location, we have the template now at Stowe and Sugarloaf, so it will be either of those. We have been in contact with Warren Miller people about possibly filming the event. If they will, it will be at Sugarloaf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailertrash Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 1 vote for the Loaf! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powdahbonz Posted September 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Well, what about the Maine Expression Session Sugarloaf 2009? Just curious how many riders could be gathered for a coordinated couple of days that we could convene on an area, such as Sugarloaf or Sunday River if more convenient. Doesn't have to be elaborate, ie. scheduled events, etc but groups are cheaper than individuals and if that means you can upgrade from PBR's to something richer at The Bag or The Rack, that's a bonus(personally PBR works for me). It's September and before you know it, w-ends fill w/ family, projects, so why not plan ahead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirk109 Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Maybe we should have a "Carve-off" @ Stratton this year.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex1230 Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 does this mean you're getting on a board and ditching the skis at some point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirk109 Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Yeah, This is the return of "The Sean". I mean who couldn't with all those nice Coiler's we will have..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shred Gruumer Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 I thought the terrain the mountain and off site restaurants had it all.. Even the Cage Match beat down was a huge success!! I vote Stowe... oh and its a tad bit easier to get to.. Right said Shred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Stowe definitely had better blues, but really only 2 blacks worth talking about. The grooming however.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZE Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 New Hampshire Lakes Region Expression SessionS 09 Every Thursday at Sunapee. May be a bit tame for some but the groom is #1, And very close to that state south of NH that should remain nameless. P.S. I have recently cut three trails on Mount Ensign and am formulating plans for a rope tow and how to groom with a snowmobile. EZE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Ace* Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 I am down for wherever even if it isn't going to be a Bomber sponsored event. We should plan something though. There are a lot of great mountains, you almost can't go wrong no matter what you pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tex1230 Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Mohawk expression session... Connecticut Carvers Unite! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Ace* Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 No way on Wachussett :p A Mohawk carving day might be in order, could get some discount passes. I can't wait until that new lift is up and ready for the new season. Berkshire East would be a good candidate. Its never crowded, has some decent slope, and some nice wide trails. Plus I know someone who could get us discount passes. Either way, there needs to be more than less carving days on the East Coast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingbat Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 ......... Plus I know someone who could get us discount passes. Yeah but, that guy is a Jerk.:D I'm thinking the rally will be Feb 22nd this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 ooooooh a "carve-off" at Stratton would be fun, especially knowing that you could go into the Startingate to look at all the new Coilers that will be in the shop:1luvu: See you there "Winter of The Sean"!!!!!

*Ace* Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 It looks like there is going to be a few carving days at a few mountains. I am down for anything this year.

Steph Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Dingbat - I was only on skis about 4 times last season. I don't recall the RennTiger, but I can't remember yesterday these days;) SnowRider - No Rossi VAS's. I ride Madd, Coiler, and Donek. Were either of you at Stowe last year for ECES?
