VT,and Conn, as well as E.NY. we have a room, and can get on the hill (I'll even try to get us some gates) It would be at Bousquet (www.bousquets.com) HOw many people can we get to come.

fishrising Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 I would like to go to one of these sessions. But finding out where the CT/NYC one will be, will dictate if I go to that one or the Bousquet one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfleck Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 everything's AOK here in woo town. I'll be out at bousqet on the 9th for the race. Also just took the judges clinic with Joe, so I'll most likely be judging some events too. got any snow out that way yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banjo Bill Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Just let me know when and were if i'm not working i'll be there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncermak Posted December 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Its starting to shape up... by my count we now have 6 people intrested. And a maybe or so. we are aiming for a group size of 10, which would put the price up to $25. evening lift tickets at bousquet would tack on $15. I am thinking of trying to do it on saturday night, January 7th. For those of you who want to stay over, there is a USASA (massachusetts Series) slalom and GS at Bousquet on the 9th.... We will be doing some gate training on saturday to get our kids ready...I should be able to put you all in the gates (maybe 5 or 10 bucks to ski school)...maybe john could come early enough to get a look at our riding...give some pointers. It could almost be a MES...(mini expression session) of sorts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncermak Posted December 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 any more interest out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Gilmour Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 It will have to be soon as I go in for ACl recon. on the 20th. Jan 05. so perhaps this coming weekend might be possible. Lets see a tally of who could make it this jan 8th vs Jan 15th. ________ Vermont Marijuana Dispensaries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfleck Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 I'm still in if we can make it happen. Going out that way for the race on sunday anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncermak Posted January 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 as it stands right now: Noah Steve Buggs John O Banjo Bill Ben? thats 5 yes, one maybe. I may be able to get one or two from the snowboard school, bringing us up to 8. if thats it looks like 35$ each would meet Johns needs. Either weekend works for us (if the room at bousquet falls through, we can use the conference room at my office...in downtown pittsfield...)

John Gilmour Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 Actually because of the snow- I can't get there until next Saturday. I've got 2 wheel drive. Heavy snow blows this out for me. So the clinic is for the 15th. ________ Honda City Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp1 Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 WOW ! John, THANKS for the post !! I was on my way out the door to leave for Mass and figured I'd check my e-mail and then here. You probably saved me at least 10 hours driving !! I'm just glad it is cold enough somewhere for it 'too' snow!! Hopefully I'll be able to make it next week.

John Gilmour Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 No problem- I just finished MC'ing a great Banked slalom race at Rye Airfield. I got a ride up there in a super 4 X 4 with 35 inch tires- toyota Landcruiser snow assault vehicle. See http://www.ncdsa.com/gen_tab2.asp?CatID=21 I'm all set for next weekend- hopefully the snow will let up for the drive. Shouldn't matter much as I'm arranging for a loaner car from the dealership anyhow. ________ Buy vapir one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willywhit Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Arrrrgh! Why do I hear about the great skate contests just after they've happened. JG! Call me or email with a heads up. I would've loved to have gone saturday after 3 days of great carving. Good forecast for carving tomorrow, who's in ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
