I definitely can't swing the cost of ESA, but if things work out over the next few weeks I might be able to get a couple pairs of new skis made and put together a demo...

I potentially just got re-hired at my old job, so I will actually have money again!

Nice! Having a Pilote demo would be sweet. And TC, I'll be sure to bring the oreo's!

I'm possible (maybe even "likely") for Friday.  Especially if the conditions look good.

It actually snowed Thursday night, which made the drive up on Thursday somewhat... interesting.  (I only almost skidded off the road once.  New car has AWD and should have snow tires installed by that point.)

There was some pretty funky stuff on the ground on Friday morning, too.  :-)

I've cleared my work calendar for both Friday and Monday.  Planning on Friday .. possibly Monday as well.  Trying to keep lodging to 3 nights, however, so it may be 1/2 day on Friday to avoid the 0-dark-30 wakeup call followed by a 4 hour drive to make an 8:00 am chair.

I'll be there on Friday for sure.  There seems to be a ESA-Stowe history of a major storm showing up Sunday evening, so I'm hoping to get snowed in for Monday.

If this is an actual count for ESA Stowe, I'll be there w/ my other: we arrive Thursday, we'll ski Friday, I'll ski Sat - Sun, w/ him probably skiing at least 1 other day.
If this isn't a real 'count' I'm in, anyway!
What's/ where's Spruce?
Have only been @ Stowe during the Summer..

 Hi Windy,
Friday evening is the kick off for ESA Stowe, so many of us get there a day ahead of time to ski together and warm up a bit, which means we'd love to have your company, as well as your SO!

Your event receipt notification should have some information about ordering the extra lift tickets for your SO for the days you'll be in clinic and for you(and SO) for Friday and/or Monday.

We'll see you there!

Spruce is "other" mountain at Stowe, literally across the street from Mt. Mansfield.

Windy, welcome to ESA.  Are you and your "other" both participating in the ESA (Sat/Sun) or are only you actually taking the course?  Sorry, I couldn't quite tell from your post.

Thanks,

Where is the OP of this thread?  I was hoping he'd graces us with his presence after this query......

I suppose the past is now back in the future.

Hey, think I can trade in a pair of P20 SL's on a new pair of Kastle's?
(I can only pray there's a total nut job like Phil or Rossi in charge of the Kastle's)

Tog won a pair of Lady Hart's at Big Sky.
Maybe he'll trade you even up for a pair of your skis before he has them mounted.

That's "Laddie"  Hart!
In terms of esa, don't know yet. Probably will be there at least for Retro Day. (I'm an alum now of that event for god's sake!)

Lol...  Yeah, all of it.  I think I had a $12+ bowl of chowda there last year.  That said, it was some pretty damn good chowda but at that price it should have come with a happy ending.

You sound like Phil -- "my girl friend from 1982, the one who I lived with for a few years - I remember her, the one with the Dynestar Omeglass Equipe 183s with those cute little Look 57s in a bright red color... what was her name again?"

 Hey Trish,

On thursday evening, I'll trade you the poles Phil just gave me for my Friday lift tix. I suppose there's some kind of bar at Trapps' for getting together..
