I'd really like to see a picture of that. I'm thinking of the same thing.

i'd definitely be in for some skiing and winter snow driving with other crazy fools with 911s! i've been thinking about getting the ski rack for the car but it's just so much damn money that i can't justify it. last year i mostly used my girlfriend's car for ski trips and sometimes stuck my skis inside my car if i went skiing by myself. yes, you can fit a pair of 180s inside a 996! i've actually fit my cross country skis in the car and they're a lot longer than that.

any idea where to get the rack for a discount? i just spent almost $5K on mods so i'm short on dough to spend on extras for the car...

Ya, I'm in!

I'm still trying to figure out how to pull my snowmobile/trailer with the 911. {maybe that taking it a bit to far?}

pete,

I think that might be a but much, tho i've seen people pull wave runners, but then again you're in the snow...

So what mountains do you guys usually hit in Vermont? I'm usually at Stratton...(as the picture shows)

I have a share in a house at Killington, but Stratton isn't too far. Also, Okemo is in the middle..

Damn Ross...Stowe,
From NYC that's like 7 hours...ok maybe 6 hours in the p-car...

I'd totally but up for a meet at a place a little closer, Killington or Okemo would be great.

Teflon, maybe you can slum it a little and deal with some crowds of So. Vt...

So we have:

MarkC - Killington
NYC - Stratton
teflon - Sunday River
rbarna - Stowe
pete - ?

Killington seems like the middle to me, but we can discuss
