AVI 1 Field Day

[Affix Snow]

Vote.

Feb 18th is impossible for me......

[Skilasnow]

I voted, but any of them will do for me.

[elwood]

I am open to all three weekends as well...

[NtrentT]

I voted, for the 11th, but the 18th ok for me.

I cant do a mid week, cause I teach in CT so that would be impossible.

It would be really cool if there was a long weekend with a Monday off, but I dont see any comming up.

[RR]

Bummer about the 18th as it is my best option...

I ski Free at Wildcat on the 11th so I would prefer the 4th for the field day. I will hold all three open for sliding/avi1-training :cool:

[Affix Snow]

I CANNOT do the 18th....i will not be getting married if i plan the Field Day then....and i really like my fiance.

the 11th or the 4th is fine. I voted 11th but will do the 4th.

JUST NOT THE 18th!!!!!

Frankly, id rather do a Saturday but have no problem doing a sunday for skilas...

[M@]

All three are open for me right now, so I won't vote quite yet.

M@

[scottie4183]

I voted for the 11th. All work for me though.

[pulverschwein]

I voted for the 11th. All work for me though.
Me too neither. Gotta git up dere to sit in on the make up class session first, though. Dumba$$ i am.:rolleyes:

[NtrentT]

I voted for the 11th, but I should be able to make all fit.

I would rather take the class on a SAT too, but am more than willing to take it on a Sunday for Skilas.

[tig]

Which I had to reschedule to...

Not sure thats even marginally relevant but what the heck....

Hopefully we get some nice layers by then!

[astrotech]

I know I am not part of the Avi I class but this does line up with some other stuff. IME is doing an Ice-Fest (http://www.ime-usa.com/ice_festival/) the weekend of Feb 8-11. I was kinda thinking of heading up there for some ice climbing on the 9-th. Drive up to Jay Peak that evening, do the Jay Peak Rando Rally on Feb 10, and then maybe come back to Conway for more ice climbing on the 11-th. it would be a fun weekend. Just figured I would mention that as I think one or two other people here are interested in some ice climbing.

[Skilasnow]

If Saturday the 10th works for EVERYBODY, I could try to take that off. But, yeah, Saturdays in the retail world... it's tough.. I appreciate y'alls concerns.

Clearly the 18th is OUT!

[Skilasnow]

Not sure thats even marginally relevant but what the heck....

Hopefully we get some nice layers by then!

Either way, you can stay at the Bretts if you'd like.

[Affix Snow]

Saturdays would rock if it is cool with Steve's schedule......

[RR]

Feb 10 would be fine...tents in GOS Sat night or the shelters at Hermit Lake and catch some presi range skiing or ride for free @ the Kitty on the 11th.

I have a suitable person tent.

ps I can show folks the GL if the cover is good

[tig]

Either way, you can stay at the Bretts if you'd like.

Skilas Thanks!

By wanting the other part of u guys avi class that weekend i guess i am wanting my cake and Edith too, since I chickened out this last weekend....:o

would be nice....

The MRG/Sugarbush race is the previous weekend I think...anyone going for that?

[NtrentT]

YES ............... YES IT WOULD !!!

[Affix Snow]

IF we DO decide to do Saturday the 10th, Steve from EMS said either day is fine.....

[M@]

I'm not sure what the agenda is - but it'd be kewl if Steve did some back country guided tour stuff in addition to the avy learning - show us some stuff around the slides that are good for skiing etc. I'd be willing to pay a little more for something like this.

Thats a good idea !

[RR]

IF we DO decide to do Saturday the 10th, Steve from EMS said either day is fine.....Great, lets pool some cash and do as M@ suggests on Sunday!

[NtrentT]

SAT feb 10th would be better for me actually !

And how much of a pool is warrented?

[Affix Snow]

So if we goin Saturday, then should we take off a Friday or the monday after?

[M@]

I dunno if I can swing a 4day.

We should make sure the Avy stuff is on a sunday so SKilas is more likely to be able to participate.

M@

[Affix Snow]

BUMP....

Is the consensus Saturday FEB. 10TH?

[RR]

Feb 10th works for me!

[NtrentT]

Sat Feb 10 would ROCK my Socks Off !

[Skilasnow]

I'll talk to the boss about Sat the 10th

[elwood]

I'm cool with Feb 10

[M@]

Feb 10th is in my Calendar. Are we doing a full weekend? (i.e. Avy stuff on sunday?)

M@

[scottie4183]

the 10th would be one tasty jam!

[Affix Snow]

I'll talk to the boss about Sat the 10th

Cool. let me know and ill tell steve.

The 10th would really rock.....

[Affix Snow]

Just got an Email from steve at EMS. He would prefer Saturday. Ive emailed and Pm'ed Skilas to double check.

He will have some Homework for us that i will distribute.

[Affix Snow]

Confirmed from Skilas.

Field day is Sat. Feb 10th.

Pray for snow lke you never have before.

[RR]

Okay...If its not :raining: I'll leave work Friday, drive up, ski in with pack and set up a tent in GOS. I'll be tired enough to actualy sleep...

If it's raining I'll sleep in the sube @ Pinks and skin up with the group on Saturday.

[NtrentT]

Rock on !

It better not be :raining:

Dont we have homework already.

Shouldnt we be planning the trip by "The Book" 's standards, and all that jazz?

ADDTIONAL HOMEWORK......

[PWDR8S]

You can't leave sooner? ;) :p

[scottie4183]

I hate it when teachers give more homework! I hate teachers!!!

10th sounds awesome. Can't wait!

[pulverschwein]

I'm off to Korea next monday so you guys will get snow. I promise.
Hope you're right. You gonna do any sliding there, tig? Good luck if so - make sure you take pics and give us a TR.

[tig]

Hope you're right. You gonna do any sliding there, tig? Good luck if so - make sure you take pics and give us a TR.

If I can convince my overworking overachieving co-workers and hosts to go. If so, will definitely take pics!

I also found this place, which has indoor ice climbing..I hope to give them a try:
http://www.koreaontherocks.com/climbing/areas.php?area_id=104.

There is a possible noreaster around the 20th, and the storm mon-tuesday coming out of colorado and chicago should leave 1-3 acroos northern new england. But more importantly, after friday/sat rain event, it seems the cold air is here to stay...

[Skilasnow]

I've made reservations at the Bretts for 8 for Friday and Saturday... Let me know who wants in so I can delete un-needed reservations.

Affix mentioned he would probably camp in GOS and stay at the Bretts on Saturday, so that could work for others too ...

[NtrentT]

PM sent bro.

[PWDR8S]

Wish I could join the hilarity guys but I'll be somewhere in the trees in the Rockies. :rolleyes: Dang!

[elwood]

Crap. Unfortunately fellas, I am out on the field day. :(

A bachelor party for one of my best friends just popped up, and sure enough it is next weekend. I need to try and reschedule with Steve. Hopefully I can piggy-back in with another group. But that's not going to be as much fun. :(

[Skilasnow]

Thats a shame Elwood! We'll miss you, but not as much as Affix misses your Mom.

[RR]

Sorry to hear it, bro. On the other hand the Womens Association of Backcountry Guides and Models may be taking the class the day you score :cool:

Is anybody camping in GOS?

[scottie4183]

NtrentT and i are planning on camping in GOS at least one night

sorry to hear you won't be there elwood...you will definatly be missed

[Affix Snow]

Thats a shame Elwood! We'll miss you, but not as much as Affix misses your Mom.

She is a SWEET peice of pumpkin pie. :D

As for GOS, If the weather be fine we be there on time. If the weather be bad, we be at skilas' pad. (whats with the rhyming?)


Definately the Bretts on Saturday nite...that is...with out all the rhyming.

[NtrentT]

I agree.

Scottie, Affix and I will be at GOS if its not sub 0 temps or the dreaded liquid snow.

BUt SAT its PARTY !!!

[M@]

I'm up for camping. I've got the whole weekend "earmarked" for learn/ski/hike.

M@

[NtrentT]

I'm up for camping. I've got the whole weekend "earmarked" for learn/ski/hike.

M@

Do you want to plan a meeting time at the GOS trail head?

Affix, Mainwarning, Scottie, and I are comming up in my Subi.

Leaving from CT hopfully as early as we can, maybe by 530.

Could be at trail head between 1030 to 1100pm.

This is all speculation due to the uncertainty of the weather, but if things go right, which they should, we can do a night hike up, and not have to get up as early cause we would already be in GOS, and we can relax while others catch up.

Only thing that could stop us is below 0 temps (not windchill) or the liquid stuff that falls out of the sky and dosent freeze.

[M@]

I can be at the trail head around that time. You're talking about friday night right?

M@

[NtrentT]

Yup Friday Night.

I'll PM you with Phone #s and stuff, so we can let you know if there are any last min changes and vice versa

[RR]

If conditions are good I'll be hiking in when I get there...I'm old and slow...you don't want to wait for me.

I could start in at Nine and you'll prolly catch me anyway. If I find a nice sheltered multi tent site before the danger zone, I'll leave a light on...just in case you young'uns are too slow to catch me :D

Same deal with the $$?

[NtrentT]

I swear I just looked at that list, and my name wasn't on it. I post and send a PM and POOF its there.

Huh....

Anyway, the question stills goes from the post above this.

You must be hallucinating...

Nope, no deal for this weekend, $20 pppn.

Oh yeah, and I'll warn y'all before the reservation deadline if it looks like the house will be full and the weather makes y'all think about staying on Friday.

As of now there are exactly 4 reservations other than us. Only twenty for this weekend, so I doubt it'll be an issue.

[RR]

...Nope, no deal for this weekend, $20 pppn...Which is like the best gawdamned deal on the freaking planet! dollar brew on tap and dollar shots???? Krikey, what do you want from life...A baby's arm holding an apple?

[NtrentT]

Id say 20's a Good Deal !

[scottie4183]

it's a steal...thanks skilas!

[M@]

Camping: Anyone maybe wanna camp at HoJo's? I just hate carrying a tent.

There's also the whole "not everyone needs a stove" conversations. Maybe best to have them in the pack room at Pinkham.

M@

[NtrentT]

Affix and I were thinking barnes field/dolly copp if we dont do GOS.

I love night hikes though. Although I have never been to GOS before, getting there in the dark may be a little bit of a challenge, Then again I went to the Mizpah platforms at night, and hermit plats.

Is the GOS trail hard to follow?

[RR]

Affix and I were thinking barnes field/dolly copp if we dont do GOS..........Is the GOS trail hard to follow?Decent alternative that also saves carrying a ton of crap all the way in to GOS and all the way back out too.....An added benefit is that we can buy awesome brekkers at PNVC from 6AM onward; I'm sold!

Nope, the GOS trail is a cinch to follow by headlamp.

[Affix Snow]

Somthing to consider for next weekend....although they did just pick up a bit more snow as of sat am.

Jay Philbrick went up to Mount Washington to do some skiing today, here is his report:
The Tuckerman Ravine Trail is in pretty good shape for skinning now though there are still a fair number of rocks sticking out throughout its length. The Sherburne Ski Trail as of today is in excellent shape with good snow. There is just barely enough snow on it to cover all the rocks. There are a lot of weeds sticking through and the water bars are quite abrupt. But, the skiing is great and the run down is well worth the skin up.

Higher up the news is not as good. In Tuckerman Ravine it looks more like November than February. There is still very little snow to be found. The only runs even close to considering are Left Gully and The Chute. Everything else is brush, rocks, or ice. The Headwall area is still more climbing terrain than skiing terrain. Forget about skiing down to Hermit Lake. The Cutler River is open in many places and the Little Headwall is still open and the run below that is thick with brush. The Gulf of Slides Ski Trail is also a no-go.

[tig]

Somthing to consider for next weekend....although they did just pick up a bit more snow as of sat am.

In tuckermans recently. which means there enough for field day to be useful.
Mebbe a lot of wind-scouring?

From the avy report
....
Surprise, surprise! Since yesterday afternoon Hermit Lake received 6.5" (16.7 cm) of new and unexpected snow with a density of 8.1%. The Summit recorded 3.8" (9.7 cm) with a density of 12%, however, it seems that higher snowfall totals occurred at most elevations on the mountain. There is a chance for more accumulating snow in the mountains from up-slope energy, particularly this morning. The summit folks think that these will produce light accumulations while NOAA indicated that 3 to 6" (7.6 to 15 cm) of new accumulation may occur in the mountains. As the weather looks right now it seems that snow is tapering off. Winds are forecasted to be out of the WNW 65 to 85 mph (120 to 154 kph) with higher gusts. These winds will load new snow into the ravines throughout the day and, as a result, create unstable slabs. Given the amount of new snow we have received, the possibility for more today and the increasing winds throughout the day, we think natural avalanche activity is likely in most forecast areas today.
....

I'm doing all of chauvins course this weekend.

Cannon picked up 7", wildcat 6-8" , HoJo's 6.5". (Jay 9")

So mebbe skiing next weekend wont be optimal, but methinks field day will be much better than back in dec...

[M@]

Current forecasts showa low of 0deg on friday night, and -2 for sat.

It's looking like Brett's bunking for me.

[Affix Snow]

Im leaning Bretts as well.....so is Mainwaring.

Ntrent? Scotty?

[RR]

I'm headed for Barnes field; Leaving town around 7 and should be setting up the Mtn25 around 10PM. It sounds like my 0deg bag will be fine both nights as I sleep rather warm. Where and when does class meet?

[scottie4183]

i'm still up for the field...ntrent?

[NtrentT]

Well?

Dependant on the night's lows, I'd say if it was above 0 then sounds good, but 0 or below, I'd prefer the Brett's

[Affix Snow]

Ntrent, Scotty, Mainwaring, and I are staying at the Bretts both nites.

Party Saturday nite? I sure hope so. :)

I am in for Saturday Night at the Bretts and for Dinner!

Please make extra Tortellini for your vegetarian friends....I am not vegan...I like ice cream, Stilton (avec Sauturnes ou Barsac, svp) and scrambled eggs far too well to be vegan.

[mainwaring]

As of now I'm 50%...work situation is quickly deteriorating. I apologize for the vacillation.

But if my 50% is in, I'm in for Bretts & dinner. Thanks for offering up the Brett's, Skilas.

[Affix Snow]

Get the sand out of your Vag mainwaring. You NEED to get in the mountains....

Im in for Dinner.

[NtrentT]

Yes count me in for dinner too, and Friday and Sat night lodging too.

YOU ARE THE MAN SKILAS !!!

I sent you a PM too.

And for sandyV's I hear this works well to get the sand out.

true on both comments: i am suffering from extreme sandinvaginitis and only some mountain madeness will cure it.

Did I say de-lish? Damn. Better balance that out - nice carburetors.

Off to the ski shop this afternoon to get the fritche's mounted and prob buy some skins... but it don't sound like we'll be skinning up to GOS.

I just dropped my skiis off at the shop to get the AT bindings mounted - and picked out a set of skins - so I'll have some toys tomorrow night for ya'll to teach me how to use.

I am having some car issues... I don't know what will happen...

You all met Chris last time you were up, and he will be there this weekend, just in case I can't make it. I will call him and let him know what's going on.

I am 88.3%, with a whateverthehellIcandotomakeitI'lldo contingent.

I know RR and m@ have my number, and I think most of the rest of you do too.

I won't be up til close to midnight Fri, I work til 7, prolly l8er.

Does anyone have any plans for Sunday?

[scottie4183]

And are you not one of "you guys"?

i'm definatly in the "you guys" group....just not it's ringleader

[tig]

If you need a ride, or for that matter, if anyone wants to carpool. The Chauvin gig is at Pinkham both days, and I'll head back afterwords at 6pm or so Sunday...

edit: phone might be helpful..267-257-3027

[RR]

I have three plans for Sunday...I can go with any of them:
1) Get up early go to Pinkham Notch for breakfast (yummy PNVC brekkers @6:30AM), followed by First tracks at the Kitty (for free, 'cause it's my birthday), followed by leaving straight for home around 4:30 or 4:40.
2) yummy PNVC brekkers @6:30AM, followed by skinning into the Presis for some sliding, followed by leaving straight for home around 4:30 or 4:40
3) yummy PNVC brekkers @6:30AM, followed driving to a secret location to do some slacking/skinning to check my gnarl factor, followed by leaving straight for home as the wilderness allows (hitchhiking will be involved unless some fool with a car wants to go play even though the cover will be just a skosh over adequet.)

I will also consider alternatives that involve sliding after a breakfast that commences by 6:30-6:45 if driving of 45 minutes or more is required to reach the sliding. That is to say there is no time for hangovers to get in the way of me skiing....call me ruthless :eek: if you like....in this matter you'd be right!

[M@]

SkiLas: If you bus up to Nashua you can ride with me.

My sunday plan is up in the air - I'd "Like" to be in Boston at 2pm for a conference on Kids and Computers at the MOS - but I can miss that.

I'd really like to play with my new AT setup over at Cannon and beyond.

Skilas, did you get my P.M.? I've been kind of floating around trying to figure out what would be funnest this weekend . I was thinking to head up somewhere in the morning and go somewhere else on sunday, still considering Mt. Washington

However, if you want a lift later on tonight, I can make it happen. I just need to put my things together after work, and could pick you up after you get off. Missing component is lodging, but if if Bretts still has room I'm in.

Since I have my Avi 1 completed I would do some bc splitboarding on saturday, maybe tele at a resort on sunday.

Steve

[Skilasnow]

Thanks for all the ride offers, but working til 7ish, and anyway, I can only afford to go up if I get paid for Monday and Tuesday at Black...

I am back to 99.9% with the last minute rental of a sardine-can-of-a-chevy-economy-with-crank-windows-and-not-even-a-tape-player... I need a freekin' starter for my 900T that started up just fine last week, but as soon as plates were attached all sorts of things went wrong. I just had the worst 11 hours of 2007 :( , but fortunately, I'm pretty sure it will be followed by the best 4 days :skiplow: of 2007 (so far)

Anyhoo, see you all around midnight.

I, too, have free skiing at the kitty (I am this season's Viking Lord of the Games :D ). But either of Arrgh Arrgh's other options could be good too, or, as another option, Hale Woods, but again, coverage may be exceedingly meagre.

I'm bringing my laptop (hint, hint) but was unable to find an install disc.

[Affix Snow]

Sunday will be a "wait and see" day im sure, but id like to slide in the morning and head home by afternoon.

Im very stoked. Got my new F1's and cant wait to Try em'!

Skilas, did you get my P.M.? I've been kind of floating around trying to figure out what would be funnest this weekend . I was thinking to head up somewhere in the morning and go somewhere else on sunday, still considering Mt. Washington

However, if you want a lift later on tonight, I can make it happen. I just need to put my things together after work, and could pick you up after you get off. Missing component is lodging, but if if Bretts still has room I'm in.

Since I have my Avi 1 completed I would do some bc splitboarding on saturday, maybe tele at a resort on sunday.

Steve

Just got it, just responded. Hope you make it.

With Elwood not coming, are we able to "substitute" people into the group? I'm in favor of adding Steve if we can. Shouldn't add to the cost of the trip - and shouldn't cancel Elwood's ability to do the trip with another group later.

I'd like to do some sliding on Sunday too, possibly the shurby or elsewhere.

Breakfast at the notch sounds great, depending if we get up.

I have three plans for Sunday...I can go with any of them:
1) Get up early go to Pinkham Notch for breakfast (yummy PNVC brekkers @6:30AM), followed by First tracks at the Kitty (for free, 'cause it's my birthday), followed by leaving straight for home around 4:30 or 4:40.
2) yummy PNVC brekkers @6:30AM, followed by skinning into the Presis for some sliding, followed by leaving straight for home around 4:30 or 4:40
3) yummy PNVC brekkers @6:30AM, followed driving to a secret location to do some slacking/skinning to check my gnarl factor, followed by leaving straight for home as the wilderness allows (hitchhiking will be involved unless some fool with a car wants to go play even though the cover will be just a skosh over adequet.)

I will also consider alternatives that involve sliding after a breakfast that commences by 6:30-6:45 if driving of 45 minutes or more is required to reach the sliding. That is to say there is no time for hangovers to get in the way of me skiing....call me ruthless :eek: if you like....in this matter you'd be right!


O.K., I'm in (in a fashion):
- Will be driving up to PN early tomorrow, planning on skinning with splitter up to TR to explore around and/or yo-yo Sherbie.
- Saturday night enjoy Bretts hospitality and Skilas' fine cuisine.
- Sunday *very* interested in something Gnarly, perhaps assist in car-spotting, slacking, sliding and bird-watching. Also open to working on tele turns at Wildcat. It's RR's birthday, so he's the man.

RR, Skilas, I'll be calling if this post seemed too late to catch your attentions.

Hey,
My field day is Sunday with Chauvin, so was hoping to get a tune done for Sunday. I have iron/wax/bevel file, and a rough idea but NO skillz ( I'm trying to get into it..). So could anyone recommend a tuning shop near there which would turn around in a few hours to a day?

See you guys at the lodge!
