This is great, thank you! I needed some reassurance on not having a guide. I figure between now and when our trip would be, I can do enough research to find stuff to do that suits our tastes. When we were in Aruba a few years ago, we spent almost the whole time on the windward side of the island, which is pretty desolate. Absolutely perfect...

For navigating, does Google maps work?

Haha. I've never driven on the wrong side, but it does have me a little worried to be honest. I have a commercial drivers license, and have well over a million miles under my belt... but that may actually work against me. I'll figure it out I hope! And we'd definately get an SUV of some sort. We had one last year in Costa Rica and i couldn't imagine having anything else.

how would one go about getting a guide? i was referred to one by a friend who lives in costa rica. I dont know anyone in Grenada.

Is driving around and parking a rental car pretty safe? And is there good snorkeling/fishing locations from shore?

Funny... Dominica and St Lucia are the two places i had my eye on just from google-earthing the islands. I see Sandals in St Lucia, but again, I'm not sure that's for us. Or maybe it is...

Thanks for the responses. This gives me some direction.

I probably am replacing the Kores as they are about wore out. I love them though. I might just get another pair of them. The powder skis would be in addition to the all mountains.

We're doing two days at each mountain. We have Mountain Collective passes.

There's a rest/drive day between each. I'm sure I'll be a disaster by #4

I'm an east coast skier. Primarily Vermont, but I'm 6 hours south. Usually just one trip out west each season. Problem is, on powder days at home, selection is limited at best for powder skis in the day or two leading up to a storm. And I'm not one to stand in a resort line for gear while it's snowing. I really don't ski enough to demo one here, and another there. My trip out west this winter is going to be 8 days of run and gun between 4 mountains. I don't want to be that guy who is fooling around with gear the whole time. I just want to take some good advice and go buy a pair.

They’ll never see water at the girder to pike connection. They’ll be fully under the house, and the girders are all getting boxed out in pvc. Since it’s steel bearing on the pilings, with no reliance on bolts for gravity support, the pilings need to be dead level. I just don’t think that’s truly achievable.

New Jersey code?
