@mdf @James @surfsnowgirl @newboots @Phelmut...Any of you guys going to be back at Killington this Saturday? I'm tempted to male that 3:30am bus trip from Brooklyn, you make it sounds so good...I also need 3 more ski days to make my season goal.

I will not be there this weekend, but hope to be up the following weekend if conditions look to be decent. I owe you a beer, so hopefully you can make it up then. Plus, I need someone to push me on the mountain@mdf @James @surfsnowgirl @newboots @Phelmut...Any of you guys going to be back at Killington this Saturday?

New York State Police are looking into a local man’s claims that he spent a cold, snowy night stuck on a chairlift at Gore Mountain Ski Center over the weekend after the lift shut down for the day while he was headed up the mountain.
The skier, whose name hasn’t been released, reported that he was on the North Quad chairlift late Saturday afternoon when it stopped as he headed up for one last run down. He was not found until the lift was restarted at 8 am Sunday, and he reported he was on the lift overnight as an inch or two of snow fell and temperatures dropped into the 20s.
He was unhurt and declined medical treatment. Gore Mountain staff contacted State Police though, and a trooper from the agency had interviewed the skier on two occasions this week.
Apparently, this wasn't all true...https://poststar.com/news/local/pol...cle_15aa8bd0-f9c8-5c42-8773-e268023192c8.html
Excerpt:
"He was unhurt and declined medical treatment. The fact that he was not hypothermic or exhibiting any signs of frostbite made ski center staff and police question his account. Gore employees called State Police that morning, and Hyde gave a sworn written statement.
State Police would not say Friday if they believe Hyde fabricated the report, and noted only that troopers and an investigator with the Bureau of Criminal Investigation were able to prove that at least part of what Hyde told the agency in a sworn statement was untrue."

Surfsnowgirl, i was looking out for those orange pants to meet up, but never saw you. Plenty of people wearing that color, including myself.
Oh, @Pumba - I would love to meet you! But we don't usually ski on Saturdays (crowds and mayhem). Last week was a family arrangement. I will check out our plans, though, and get back to you.
Oh no! The Killington trip from hell! I hope the skiing was good (if you can even remember, after that nightmare).I'm sure we'll cross paths one of these days!
.....At the moment, it's not looking like I'll be up there this weekend. The 3:30am departure time and some other bad experiences I've had with this company are giving me pause....It was on one of these very Spring Killington bus trips that it took 24 hours to get there and back!!!
