Ski Trip -- President's Day Weekend

Alright potential skier and snowboarder homies.  It’s midwinter madness time.

What: ’15 Ski Trip

Where: Near Salt Lake City, Utah!  You vote:
Brighton – best prices around $75 a ticket and 5’ snow. 66 runs on 1,750 vertical ft.
Snowbird – most runs and vertical terrain given the 5’ depth of snow.  89 runs on 3,240 vertical ft.
Park City – this is where they train for the Olympics.   Only 4’ snow, but 114 runs on 3,100 vertical ft.
They’re all close.  Maybe 1 per day?

When: 2/14 – 2/16 (President’s Day weekend… paid holiday at LEAF.)

Price:
Lift tickets about $200 (2 days), $300 if you want to ski on President’s Day as well.
Gas – only asking for $50 round trip, but it is optional (I’m going up either way, so I will pay for gas 100% if money is tight for you… because I’d rather have you there.)
Room – Lance apparently has friends up there, so possibly FREE here.  If not, probably going to be $100 per head.
Total: $300 – 400 (before food & alcohol)

Deets:
Friday we head up after lunch.  Drive is going to be around 10 hours including about 3 stops.
Check in Friday night.
Saturday and Sunday – hit the slopes.
Monday – optional hit the slopes some more before driving home.

Salespitch:
So were talking about world class resorts, some of the absolute best, most powdery snow in the world (and it’ll be snowing a fresh layer for us this week at all 3 resorts), on top of a 5’ base, and just about everything is open.

Even if you’re not a big skier, these are world class views up in the world famous Rockies… so it’s great place to bring your girl or friends and hang out.  There are few places better in the world to kick back and have a few.

Since So. Cal is having it’s 4th year in a row of terrible snow, this may be your only chance this season to get some real snow!


Anyone you want to invite is invited… please RSVP by Thursday if possible… better to reserve rooms a week in advance if we need to do that.
