Just out of curosity, how many of my fellow dc skiers are planning on making the trek to t-line this weekend? We ought to plan a time and place to meet/greet/& if possible, libate.

I expect to be there on Sat., although it depends on a friend's plan coming together. I can be spotted by the piece of green and black plaid flying from one pole strap.

I'll probably be on alpine equipment.

Count me & mrs. in.

I'll be there as well - with wife and daughter. 10th weekend in a row for me. Daughter's easiest to spot. Jimmy knows all of us though! Think snow...

im hoping to be there sat/sun. cant get enough of the beautiful highlands Of course my "hoping to be there" will instantly change to "WILL be there" if the snow forecast for the weekend starts to gain more momentum!

Like I mentioned in a couple other threads on the topic, I am definitely going to try to make this.

Just now need to figure out how to get to T-line from Fredericksburg (will have to dig those directions out that Clay sent me a couple months back).

Hey skibum. I'm still looking for a place for you to crash on Saturday. If anyone out there knows of a place, let us know. It would save the 2 hour drive back to the nut on Saturday, especially if the weather is dicey.
I drive from Reva, which is the southern most metropolis in Culpeper County and I go through Harrisonburg on rt 33 to rt 32 in Harmon, then a short jaunt to the valley. It's 3 hours for me. I think Clay has a quicker route from the F-burg area. Probably get to rt 17 then to 66, 55, and so on.

Exactly. I go 17/66/55/33/32 from Stafford. It takes me 3 1/2 hours from door to door.

It now appears that we may get some fresh pow for saturday's luau activities. Both Capitalweather.com and inaccuweather are leaning towards snow at higher elevation come friday evening. Evidently a costal storm will form in the carolinas and do a NE trek friday/saturday. Once again, it depends on the storm track. Hope they're right. I could really get into freshies saturday.

that will be mighty sweet if they got freshies!

anyone wanna hit Blackwater Brewing Company in Davis on Sat night for some tasty microbrews?

Thats the nite your supposed to be at TL Pub cheering on the volcano erupting with a lava flow (Fireworks blasting off the top of the mtn while the torch parade winds down the mtn)...Anybody remember the ultimate luau when after a warm day about 5 inches dumped in a couple of hours starting about the same time as the fireworks & torch parade...I'll never forget that!

SkiBum, I sent you an email about a possibile place to stay Sat. evening.

Remember it well. Those were the biggest flakes I've ever seen. The entire mountain looked on fire with the reflection. Let's hope for an encore this year.

So, we're meeting at 10:30 / 2:30 Saturday at the top of thunderdraft chair? I'll be wearing a green jacket and a big .

Count me in at 10:30ish. I want to do the Hawaii thing, but it's gonna be too cold so I"ll have my burgendy karbon jacket w/grey helment. My spouse will probably be with me in a blue/white spyder jacket. Both on Red Rossi Z9s. Oh, can't forget (once you see them you won't either) my bright green boots. They're Kryptons, so watch out superman!

I should be there as well. If it's cold as predicted, I will be in all black with the Blue RX-6 skis. If it warms, the black coat usually gets replaced with a sweet gray North Face shell that I bought from Skier219.

Well, I'm off to ski in the rain for a while (in said North Face shell )

Clay

i have a few bigass hawaiian shirts from when i used to be a fatass that would probbaly fit over my and other peoples jackets. Ill try to remember to bring some (unless I end up chasing the noreaster)

oh yeah baby! the forecast for Davis gets better every time i look at it! now its 100% chance snow friday with 3-4". Which of course can mean alot more if anyone is familiar with the predictions and reality for Davis

Accu-Weather just updated the totals to 3 - 6 Friday thru Saturday...

yeeeeha! im headin out now to grab some demo's for the weekend, just in case... tired of catching pow days up there with my 68mm waisted groomer skis

I'm heading up Friday am with my son. Hopefully, the cold & snowy forecast holds.

I'll definitely be there Sat and Sun. I'll try the Ski Patrol hut at the top of Thunderdraft chair at both 1030 and 2:30. I'll have on my red/black jacket, black wind pants, blue helmet, and red ribbons flying somewhere. Skiing on K2 grey/black Apache CrossFire skis.
Looking forward to meeting up with many of you.
Aloha,
The Colonel

You guys should try to get some group photos when you all meet up! I want to hear a good report too.
