I hope you liked theo's last year, cause it doesn't exist this year. They went bankrupt. There is a new place called The Rack there now that has bar/barbecue/dinner food. I haven't been there yet, but i have heard that it is pretty happening. Tufulio's is good but i am not sure if they could accomodate a large group if there are a lot of people going. I would like to check out The Rack if that interests some people. If people do not know, it's right at the bottom of the access road to sugarloaf.

 

[spencer]

oops! I remember there was some talk about it, but I had forgotten. well, whatever is fine with me. I carry a chip b/c I had one really lousy meal at Tufulio's once. but I'll give it another shot.

Dude, whats up with the rain this weekend? Mr. X might be 3fer.

The Rack is very good - it's Theo's with a new name. Fine with me - I was just thinking that people wouldn't have to drive so far...
I'll find out from tomorrow's ski crowd what the decision is.

I'm out of here!

 

[Mad Townie]

Just let us know where dinner will be, because the Bigelow 14 milers may be getting out of the woods just a little late (oh, and don't worry about us like you did last year!!!)

 

[MichaelJ]

Just FYI: Even if dinner is the Rack, and I'm moments away at the 'Loaf, I still plan to drive past it and head back to GO's first to set up camp while it's still light out.

King Tut - can you let us skiers know the final decision? You're likely to be the last person online...

EDIT: if we get a foot of snow Saturday night, I'm going back to Sugarloaf on Sunday, even if it's a full price ticket and long weekend crowds!

Crockers on Fryday

Probably a late start, (10:30?- driving up in AM)I'll stop in @ GO's first. Leave notes, I'll see ya on the trail if anyone else is going there...
VIVA LA CASA el-GOa!

I just got up to the valley, and the snowpack is down from the weather. Maybe 6-12 inches of snowpack or so in the woods. should be easier for people to hike in. I heard there might be some decent snow on saturday night. The rack would be good on friday night if people are interested. It would be centrally located for skiiers and bigelow hikers.

Hi to all,

I will not be able to go to the gathering but I want to wish all that are going a great weekend. As I am writing a proposal I will be thinking about all of you and what I am missing.

Happy shoeing and skiing,
Mark

Wishing you all a great weekend....
Have one or two or more for me!

 

[Pete_Hickey]

OK, so I haven't been to that many gatherings, but.....every one I've been to has had RAIN. I'm looking at the weather report, and it mentions rain on Saturday.

Can someone tell me... Are they PLANNED like this?

Ain't no matter, I'm gonna be there.

[spencer]
