Does no one worry about security, with all these itineraries out on the net? What's that? Your son-in-law the bouncer is house sitting to take care of your Rottweiler? Ah. Okay. Got it.
Ikon boy here.
Well, there are the odd day trips to Sunday River, Saddleback, the Loaf, Pleasant Mountain (name newly restored by Boyne!) and Mt. Abram. Sometimes they are very odd, depending on weather and company. Hoping to connect with
@aveski and other local buddies there. (Unfortunately they're nearly all retired now and won't ski weekends anymore, which is totally understandable but infuriating.)
Often I blow the $100 on an early season day ticket at Bretton Woods so I can burn in the groomer turns with
@LiquidFeet, and lakespapa from the Epic days. They are worth it. Hoping to do that again.
Last year I visited Vermont in December when I needed to burn some PTO days, and had a great time with
@KingGrump and
@Sandy_NYC. This year I don't think that's happening. I might or might not be going to the Caribbean
for the very first time instead.
XC at the excellent local trail network,
if there is snow. And a few more day trips to Jackson, NH, for the same. DW has a season pass there, and pushes hard. God knows I need the fitness, so I shouldn't complain.
On the books I've got ten early February days at Taos including the Gathering, maybe an afternoon at Ojo Caliente, a day at Wolf Creek with
@Jerez and
@mdf, and other undeserved luxuries. A week in Utah for the other Gathering. Long weekend in Rangeley at the end of March for the New England Gathering.
Finally there is a week in early April at Mt. Bachelor with the S.O. to check out the scene. (She is understandably entranced by the perennially late nordic season.)
