NYC Skier

[mhirsc]

Long-time lurker, figured I should pipe up and introduce myself. 29, from NYC, getting back into skiing for the season after a 4-year break. Raced (very poorly) in high school, so I follow the WC pretty closely. Excited to be here!

Welcome! Although you sound too cheerful and polite to join the NYC contingent. Where are you skiing?

Trying to figure that out! Will probably do a couple days at Hunter or Windham and then I will probably head to Vermont over my spring break.
And the cheerfulness probably comes from the fact that I just had coffee—I promise that I'm a regular old NYC grouch!

Hey, as a former New Yawker I'm not happy with that comment.

Giggle.

Being cheerful and polite are so over rated.

Not good traits for long term survival in NYC.

Welcome! I'm not from NYC, but did spend one year there during my post-doc. I was more polite and cheerful then, but so introverted no one could tell. I'm more extroverted now, but probably less cheerful. Grumpy old(er) man problems I guess.

If you come to Killington, there's a thread for that.

Its almost time to think about the upcoming ski season. I personally have upgraded to the Ikon full pass and will get 7 ski days at Kton this coming season. Here are a couple of video's I took while skiing the Superstar Glacier in late May. Last year was an very good one for New England spring...

While I've never been, I hear Hunter and Windham can get pretty crowded on weekends. Downfall of being close to NYC. But if you don't have a car, there are organized bus trips to both, which could be convenient (they used to be run out of Paragon Sports, but I don't know if that's true any longer).

Plenty of great options in Vermont, and per the post above, plenty of information around here.

Also former NY'er - have Family still upstate.

Just like in NY, not everyone here is a Grump.
Being cheerful and polite works too, and are WAY under rated
Welcome
