New Jersey Indoor Skiing Gathering

[Winks]

Well, the 28th would have worked for me, but not earlier that week. Sorry I will miss the chance to meet you and take a few indoor laps. I don't think Big Snow is open in the morning.

Perhaps some in the thread will be interested in an October trip to Big Snow? @neonorchid when you heal up?

It is currently raining in Killington. Yesterday we dodged rain drops to take a small hike on the AT near the Clarendon Gorge.

Sorry I will miss you! When we get the chance to ski I’ll be sure to bring the Rangers out!

Reminder: we are doing the 1:15 pm session on September 24th at Big Snow, the meet up time is 1:00 pm in front of the ski shop near the Big Snow Entrance.

I have a conflict & may come later in the day / eve.

Who knew skiing indoors was so hard! Somehow, 50,000 people manage to make it to the game there on Sundays.
Anyway, can’t make it due to having to go to a funeral. I was thinking of going to the skating rink there in the am before skiing.

Good luck! Don’t all start at the same time at the top.

Since I have not met most of the attendanees, I will be the old guy with the Ski Talk Buff and Head Rally skis.

We will miss you. Maybe some other time you will make it?

We will try to take some pictures of the group that shows up and post them before we leave.

I will be wearing black leggings and grey/green base layer shirt. I am quite tall (a little over 6 feet) so easy to spot.

A lot of attendees will be closer in age to you then to me, BTW. I will probably be the youngest, and I am not that young.

That would be great! I always forget to take pictures.

We can remind each other to take photos.

Just arrived and sitting outside the ski shop waiting for the rest of the people to gather.

So we met inside at Big Snow introduced ourselves and skied several runs. I tried to rotate who I was riding the chair with. The Big Snow mascot was walking around and we stopped for a picture, I let the Big Snow employee near by have my phone, I asked him to take a few shots. Unfortunately when I got home no pictures were on the phone. He must not have take his gloves off and didn't take any pictures because his gloves did not push the button.

 

[Olesya C]

That's a bummer about the pics with the mascot. I only have a few, see below. @ADKmel has a few pics as well. @Uncle-A and @Wendy, the selfie we took is below

Since I started this thread I would like to thank all those that came to ski today. It was good to meet members face to face and enjoy some ski runs together. Thanks for joining in on this Indoor Gathering. So for me it was day one of the 22 - 23 season and for @Olesya C thanks for making the reservations for our late lunch.

I had a great time too! It was so nice to meet you, @Uncle-A ! We’ll have to ski some runs together this winter at Blue.

Very cool to ski with @ADKmel @LiquidFeet @skiki @Olesya C. and @Uncle-A ! The snow was soft but chalky, not squidgy or wet. Dinner afterward (some bratwurst and kraut, and beer, Oktoberfest style) was yummy and fun on the patio in the sunshine. Thanks to @Olesya C for arranging!

Slalom skis or other short radius skis would be the ski du jour at Big Snow. (There were some race kids there).

Day 1 of the 2022-23 season in the pocket!

 

[Olesya C]

Yes, we had a great time and it was great to reconnect and ski with everyone. It was nice to meet you @Uncle-A ! Day 2 of 2022-2023 for me!

 

[LiquidFeet]

Ditto ditto ditto to all the above. Geat adventure!

 

[ADKmel]

It was fun! Bummer the albino wookie photo with us didn't come out more training needed for his guide!

The park looks too wide? Not much in there.
