Ah I see, I was just past there about 2 weeks ago and they did not change the sign. Ill have to check in on the Consignment sale if there is anything different.

I used to hit Hunter over T-Giving weekend..until I hit crazy traffic on the New York Thuway.
it's nice with big boulder can get open for t-day. don't have to drive as far, but skiing is not comparable....but at that time of year, skiing is skiing!
Well a new tradition is since we cant use the oven at the Lodge, I deep fry it, man is it tasty. We devoured a 18 lb turkey cooked in under an hour! Was a great first 5 days skiing, but I wanna start earlier like october or when ever the trails open in killington. Ill be up there as early as end of Sept for the beer fest for all the local breweries.
I remember hitting Boulder once November 10th in the early 2000's. I do remember as a kid, we were happy if Camelback or the other resorts were able to get open the weekend before Christmas. Thanksgiving was unheard of.

Camelback opened over T-Giving weekend in '14 I believe (maybe it was '15)- that was a nice treat but certainly not the norm...
man.....deep fried turkey is so good!
You had me at "deep fried..."
Newtown square - I grew up there - small world! Welcome @Willyum215. I ski all winter at Blue. Cheers
I pass by Wick's everyday. I had no idea it was bought out. Thanks for the info. For good or for Ill, I buy online or Craigslist anyway.
I was just off of Media Line Rd. on Mulberry Lane.
So cool! I went to MN Jr. High and would walk by that rd every day to swim at Suburban Swim Club on Gradyvilke rd. I think. I grew up by Foxcatcher. Can't remember the rd now.

Wow, hadn't heard that. Wick's will be missed. Agree their two consignment sales were as good as it gets.
You never were at the one that I did out here...killer. I will be going to one at California Ski Company this weekend, lets see how that one is.
I find it interesting they haven't changed the sign yet - at least as of a few weeks ago when I last drove by. Many people will be surprised when their usual opening comes next week with no activity.
Please keep us posted.
The new Buckmans sign is now up , covering up the old Wicks sign. I stopped by the Tent sale today , starting on Wednesday ( vs Saturday under Wicks) made for a lot lighter crowds. There seemed to be a lot less consignment gear and a lot more "closeout" new gear than under Wicks. Bad news for my pre-teen boys as I was hoping to pick up some used skis for them , good news for my daughter who was looking for used boots and got a great deal on brand new boots.
It was nice to see some familiar faces as some employees from Wicks have stayed on.
First impression, it felt more like the old Wicks than the usual Buckmans..... more mom and pop-ish. Sadly no animals roaming the store, that was always a highlight for the kids.

I know Sheila, Donna and Ken are carry overs.
