HoarfrostHubb Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Everything is AC'd down there. Even the lines at the park all have those mist devices to help cool you down. You'll get some nice aftn storms to help out as well. We went in April 5 years ago (before our daughter) and it was perfect temp/humidity-wise. Like a New England summer day. We're staying in a pretty sweet place for the time in Orlando (Wilderness Lodge for 6 nights) then at relative's in Daytona Beach. Will have to prep for the weather down there by cranking up the heat in my house and cooking pasta all day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daytona is pretty cool (not weather-wise). Water will be very warm, and you'll get good waves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Torchey Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 That area is just about the nicest part of SNE IMHO NNE has the mountains though No doubt about it, I have been lucky to do extensive traveling and see some fine fine beaches. Outside of the low country of south carolina coastal Rhode Island is my fave to go to. I love Galilee, pt judith, mis, watch hill, so many small beaches that have white sands, great waves and majestic views. Block Island is my second favorite place to be in the world, especially off season, but summers are fantastic as well, just a great small island that has every kind of beach imaginable, charm, and certainly not as stuffy as nantucket or the vineyard, its my kinda place.

Very nice beach, lots of tackiness in each direction, lol If you can..try to go to New Smyrna Beach. It's a very nice beach that's a little quieter than Daytona. It's maybe 30 minutes south I think. There are two parts...one with and without the ability to drive on the beach. The southern part of the beach is where cars aren't allowed, so that might be best. I was just there in April.

powderfreak Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 The summer office... ride ATV to summit, turn on Gondola, sit back and enjoy the view all day long. Office with a view... Awesome day for the summer solstice... crisp mountain air, views to Mount Washington in the morning... slowly fading in the afternoon as the humidity and haze increase. It won't be long till its snowing up here, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Seriously, they should not be paying you We have too much fun working at the ski resort. There's never a dull moment in mountain operations. Just a bunch of boys playing with their machines and mountain. Yesterday we had a team take an excavator down the double-black Liftline and that sounded exciting... driving a massive machine basically down a series of cliffs. Even the gondi evacuation training we did yesterday was highly entertaining... like one big ropes course, climb lift tower, shimmy down the cable and lower yourself down to the roof of the cabin 60 feet in the air, open door and coax stranded passengers out the door on belay. The chances of an evac are very low but the training is entertaining as its always fun to climb things and play with ropes. If you ever get bored of an inside job, I'd highly recommend one at a ski area. You won't get rich quickly (or ever, really) but everyday you get to have that mindset of a 5-year-old-in-a-sand-box-with-tonka-truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N. OF PIKE Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 so i went out to springfield/amherst for a friends wedding THEN went up to VT and spend a couple days playing lawn games and BBQ while staying near Randolph Center as my friends family lives at the president's house for at least the next two years. Elevation at the top of the hill in Randolph, VT to my (happiness) is a cool 1415 or so Feet. lows were in the mid 40's and temps in the 70's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
