So Friday or Saturday after thanksgiving since thanksgiving is so late this year, I'm trying to head out to 7 Springs or JFBB(Jack Frost/Big Boulder); depending on which has better snow at the time. They are both round about the same time maybe a half four longer to JFBB. But I just wanted to start the talk about it so anyone interested could join in.
So I'm talking either the 28th or 29th of November for either of the two.
Yea well I don't wan't to drive 5 hours for a day of riding when I can go to somewhere that is only 2 1/2 and get more riding in. Plus I would have my brother and one of his friends with me and I don't really want to be in the car with them for quite that long.
i'll prolly go. what day? i think dave said he was down. anyone know what kind of service at&t gets or if springs has a wireless cafe like whitetail does? i'm on call so i will need cellphone service.
you kill all my jokes, dan. not that they are very funny to begin with, but once you bring seriousness into it...that's it, it's done. where's the fun in that??? :dunno:
It looks like Dan and I are heading to 7springs saturday. he has a full car so i am driving. one buddy gave me a "maybe" so i might be driving up by myself. either way if anyone wants to go i definitely have room in my car. give me a shout.
I' tryign to figure out if Jrad is comin up or not. So you might be able to ride up with him or he can ride with you or whatever, but I gotta find out if he is coming first.
liberty's cams don't look very promising for this weekend. unless you like riding the doodle over & over. same w/ whitetail. none of the expert terrain is open at either place & the greens look to be a lil too green, if you get what i'm saying!
I was thinking about hitting jf/bb or somewhere else close if conditions are worth it. I definitely want to get out again if possible. Last weekend Mount Snow was decent for early season, and want to get out again ASAP...but somewhere closer then VT.
sunday springs got rain...which covered the mountain in a thin sheet of ice. not the best conditions. friday and saturday were awesome with the exception of the large crowd
Snowshoe is opening Cupp Run this weekend as well having demo days. They have so much terrain open I have yet to find any day crowded, included the Thanksgiving holiday which is normally packed.
yeah, i guess it's a toss up between the springs & snowshoe. or rather, who's trying to go where. tj's trying for the springs, my friend that i went riding with opening weekend wants to do snowshoe. i'm thinking snowshoe will probably be the better bet...unless the sky dumps on the springs over the next few days...but their trail report does say the runs are icy, which doesn't sound too inviting.
The trail report definetly says groomed packed powder, probably becasue the blew like crazy last night. But they are calling for a rain/snow mix tommorow morning and then snow friday morning, saturday looks to be cloudy and sunday is gunna be snowy and windy as all hell. But thursday night through sunday it doesn't look to be above 28 degrees so they should be makeing snow like nobodys business.
Also you could always consider Wisp I'm not really sure what they have goin for them right at the moment though.
Yea Springs was nice for early season 14 trails open a fun little assorment of things to jib on that training area right outside the Foggy Goggle. It was all fine and dandy until I wrecked my shoulder on the the picnic table. But before that there was a bunch of fun stuff to do on the mountain. A fair share of things to session that were just there. Such as at the top of the North Face Quad there was a fun ledge that is pretty fun if you can get speed. At its highest point it was probably 6 or 7 feet tall.(Btdubbs TJ I think if we catapulted someone in next time we would be much better off, must remeber that)But also like any place there was a bunch of fun little things on the sides of trails to session.
yes wisp isnt a bad drive and western MD tends to get snow when we are getting rain. we can look into that. I would totally be down with snowshoe is there was cell service there. CRAP.
yeah, i keep trying to get people to wisp but none of my friends think it's worth it. i've only been a few times & it's never been best conditions (once it was raining, the other time it was early in the season), but i want to go back sometime when it's in full effect cuz it does look fun. i really like that blue run that goes under the train. lots of skiers there though & they just zigzag the whole way down, constantly cutting us boarders off.
Well I'm not sure if I'm gunna be riding anywhere this weekend due to my shoulder. I'd rather not risk F'n it in the A if possible. But the following weekend dependin on cash money I might make a trip up to VT and hang out at Mt. Snow for the AST Dew tour. But once again that all depends on how the shoulder feels.
i wish i had the freedom to take trips like that, but for me to go to VT i can pretty much only go for a day..drive up friday, ride saturday & come home sunday. makes for a very expensive 1 day of riding.
