Shift Ski Trip #1

Since i noticed some interest in my other post, i decided its only first week of january and we have plenty of time to get a few trips in. I havent ski’d in two years and am itching to go.

I have monday 1/11 and tuesday 1/12 off from work. I should also have saturday and sunday 1/16 and 1/17 off. Im looking to make a trip to a nice resort, whiteface is great since i have a place there that a few of us could stay, i also love killington, gore, and snow.

Can anyone else make those dates? And where would you like to go?

discuss

Considering that we can’t get people together for car cruises, etc, it’ll never happen.

well its worth a shot…negative comments are unnecesary, no b.s in here please, if you dont wanna go i dont really care.

skiing alone is probably one of the most boring things you can do so even if it ends up being me and sully for the day thats good enough.

i’d be down to go if i had money, but i’m broke right now so id just be a maybe

id be down to go to any mountain on any of those dates.

I cant go this short of notice or else i would be game 100%

Checking ticket prices hmmm

i might be in, depends on when i have to work.

if people want whiteface has $35 sundays. this sunday (but it doesn’t seem like anyone can go this short of notice including me), february 7th is the next one after that. i’ve never been to whiteface and i want to check it out so i’m prob gonna go there or one wendseday on their coke days.

I’m off until 1/19 or wheneverthefuck hvcc goes back so I am down for whenever.

Im in for a day… last time I was on skis was in Jackson Hole… in 1998… ummmm… so I am due. Probably not for a few weeks though.

I went skiing to Gore 2 weeks ago. Hit a jump and dislocated my shoulder on a shitty landing. I like to ski.

Probably won’t do it again though.

Your a retard if your doing anything on that dumpy ass “Boarder park” or what ever they call that shit. That place doesnt know what a real park is, and its allways a joke.

I am down to go to white face if something happens on the weekend. I cant get time off atm from work, so its gotta be a weekend.

That mini park is fun as hell.

I don’t hit anything big anymore because I can’t risk getting lumped up and being hurt. I’m not 18 anymore and my body doesn’t bounce back well from a hard fall off a 50 foot jump.

same here, I cased the SHIT out of the last 60+ foot stepdown in the Inferno Park at Mt Snow last year, take off is higher than me holding my ski pole above my head standing on the back of the jump, I pop off the lip about 15-20 feet, and the jump has to be every bit of 13-14 feet tall… so yeah I hit the knuckle/deck (about 2 feet shy of the landing) basicly fell about 28-30 feet to the deck, it felt like I jumped off the roof of my 2nd story house. Thought for sure I was going to take a heli ride out from that one in mid air… but somehow I monster trucked it and took my knees to my chest and bounced off the knuckel and landed down the landing a good bit and skiid away un harmed! Fucking worst messup I ever had skiing… so yeah I backed it off some since then! lol I totally hear you!

yeah i used to be a park rat as well, mt snow was always my favorite, i took one realllly good fall after hitting (at the time) the second to last table top in the park wayyyyy to hard and overshot the landing, broke my wrist and a couple fingers and got a concussion…drove all the way home not even realizing how bad injuries were and decided to go to the hospital later that night. so needless to say im even older now and dont feel like getting fucked up in a park…

soooo at any rate im going to try to go to killington gore snow or whiteface monday and/or tuesday 1/11 and 1/12 is ANYONE interested?

It was the worst accident I have ever had skiing. It was the last jump in the series, and I hit the big air side to do a nice 360 grab. I ended up going to slow and landed on my shoulder on the edge of the down ramp. All I remember is waking up with like 3 people pulling me off to the side. So much pain it was unreal. It is still hurting but yea.

I have it all on video, I just have to upload it.

Parks are fun for about 20 minutes, or until you fall HARD.

Whichever comes first.

fuck, i last about 5 seconds and then i fall hard. ask yetti :lol

and i have jury duty next week so i can’t go durring the week but maybe it will give me money to go next weekend/week after
