I plan to be there and will be bringing along TheArchitect Junior to his first Gathering.
What do you mean, "there"? This thread is only an hour old. There is no there there!

Assuming we're not holding it at Crotched or similar then I plan to be there regardless of location. It's been too long.
How many of us are also going to Aspen? I'm sure that will have an impact on dates.
Saddleback and Sugarloaf? I've never been to either so that would be fun. If not there I'd vote for Stowe and Sugarbush again.
Kevin really is slacking on this thread. As Tony said, it's already been an hour!
Kevin is having a hurricane at the moment. Give him a break.
So am I. He doesn't live too far from me. I'm still here planning the NEG.
No rush here and you're right about the restrictions. I'm trying to be positive and not worrying about Aspen or the NEG with COVID
Watching... Saddleback looked nice..and it's close to Wildcat and Sugarloaf. And we may be able to pull off a ski trip this year if Covid stays manageable.
Saddleback ain’t close to anything.
As much as I would like to check out Saddleback my vote would be Killington. We had a fairly large group planning to attend there last season. I would bet most of them would be interested for this season. I have no problem with and might attend a Saddleback micro gathering.
I'm here, I'm here!
I haven't really thought about next year's NEG yet, except it's either going to be at either Saddleback / Sugarloaf or at Killington / Pico. Saddleback to anywhere else (Sunday River, Wildcat, etc.) is a two-plus hour drive on summer roads for a destination that's already "you can't get theyah from heah".
I'm planning on the Aspen gathering. The NEG has lately been "end of March" timeframe, although a Maine-based gathering could be pushed later. As @Tony S has mentioned several times -- Spring comes late to Maine.
The covid cancelled gathering was to Killington -- the roll call for that event far exceeded the attendance at other gatherings. Based on that, I was leaning towards Killington in 2022 and Saddleback in 2023.

Sunrise comes late to Maine. 
At that time of year. In summer, it’s basically Alaska.Sunrise comes late to Maine.
