Garnet Hill next week anyone?
I'll be at Garnet Hill for an extended family vacation next week, Tuesday late through Friday or maybe Saturday (Jan 13-16 or 17). Any chance of running into other rsn-ers there? Doug? John? Ken? others? Having never been there before, can anyone tell me if there are other activities nearby that might interest kids between 2 and 4 years old? I'm not expecting their attention span for skiing to last very long. Ice skating or other attractions? Our best ski outings with the 2-year-olds have been those that started right after lunch. We pile them in the pulks and start skiing and usually within a few minutes they fall asleep for their afternoon naps. We get to ski for an hour or two while they sleep, though we do have to pull them around. By now they are hopefully big enought to start taking an interest in skiing on their kiddie skis for short periods. -Mitch |

Salt Lake City next week anyone?
Sharon and I managed to get some extra days off over with the Martin Luther
King holiday, and Sharon insists that she get the chance to make some great lift-served and backcountry downhill turns already this early in the season. So I'm getting dragged away from my beloved northeastern trails of Minnewaska and Mohonk and Van Hoevenberg -- to Utah. Should I bring my soft-snow skis? Or will the tracks be pretty well packed? It would be fun to meet some of you there in Salt Lake. Send me email, and I'll send you phone numbers and places where we'll be staying so we can figure out how to connect. We'll have a rental car, so we can get to different ski centers and backcountry trailheads. I will be expected to accompany Sharon on most of her downhill and backcountry turning escapades, but there will be some other days when I'll get to enjoy some fun skating on groomed tracks. I figure it'll take me at least a couple of days to get used to the altitude, so I'm going to be looking for lower-elevation ski center at first. Like my current best guess is that I'll try skating at Mountain Dell on Monday afternoon. Sharon likes White Pine for its gentle trails, so I'll probably be skating there one day at least. Beyond that I'm pretty open. Something I'd love to try is skating some routes outside the normal ski centers -- like I sorta remember some reports by Dave Hanscom. Ken |

Garnet Hill next week anyone?
On Fri, 9 Jan 2004, John Forrest Tomlinson wrote: In terms of activities for kids I'm not sure. I remember often seeing a bunch of kids in some sort of ski-school or play group with a young teacher skiing around and playing games, but they were probably a little older than your kids. Give Garnet Hill a call and see. Thanks but after looking at the long-range forecast it probably doesn't matter. Ithaca forecast shows high temps those days between 0 and 10 F. Garnet Hill is probably colder than Ithaca. The kids might never get outside. :-( -Mitch (-14 F at home this morning, no bike to work today for me!) |
