**Looks like I'm going to shoot out to Chestnut or Alpine to catch some of the rare midwest pow. Looks like it will snow Friday afternoon through Saturday around noon.
Probably heading out real early--arrival 30 minutes before they open where ever I decide to go.
Need to tweak my boots a bit so heading up to Alpine Friday night.. probably leaving burbs around 3pm, skiing from 5:30-9:30 or so and then heading home. I would expect them to be about 80-95% open by the weekend with these cold temps.
If you're going to be up there, or want to go, let me know.
-Ben

There is a chance I will be heading up there. I would have to leave at 1:30 and head back a little earlier.

Which are you thinking, Alpine or Chestnut? Chestnut sounds great and Alpine Friday night could also be cool...

I'll be hitting Chestnut Sat for $15 lifts.  Planing on getting there around 9AM. I'll be wearing a bright green North Face jacket and riding my new stick... a black and green Custom. Sounds like there will be a few other cambr folks there as well. |

Looks like I'll be going to Chestnut tomorrow (sat) for sure. However, I'm going to keep an eye on it as I'm really hoping they can get Warpath open so there is some real black terrain. We'll see.
Looking to be on the snow by 9am. We should have a midwest 'pow' day if this storm plays out. Certainly won't be knee deep, but might add some freshness.
Bright orange pants, brown (too tight) jacket, fluorescent green boots and skis far too fat for the midwest.
$15 lift tickets can't be beat, but I'd rather pay more if it guaranteed no crowds!
