Cannon outing Feb 11th (Northern Outing)

riverc0il · Jan 19, 2006, 5:12 PM

andy, parkers is closet and cheapest as far as i know. thayers inn in Littleton is EXCELLENT (http://www.thayersinn.com) and i think better rates than you quoted above but i don't know if they have package deals with tickets, that might make the deal you found better. i think thayers is a great inn to experience personally and that coming from someone that rarely stays overnight any where.

hey, is there post game in the peabody station for brews after skiing? that means you guys gotta start at the peabody slopes for the apres. i could drive down for some suds if you guys are gonna post game. keep me posted, i don't want to drive down if no one is going to stick around for a few drinks.

Well, price wise I guess there's not much difference:

Hampton Inn:

149 for 1 night and 2 lift ix to Cannon

Parkers:

69 for 1 night, lift tix at Cannon with Season Pass from Killington 44 a piece, total 157

Thayers Inn"

69.95 for 1 night, tix at Cannon 44 each, total 157.95

Guess it just comes down to what is closer and better. I've stayed at Hampton Inn in other locations and liked it.

BobR recommends Parkers.

riverc0il recommends Thayer and looking at their site it looks nice.

I don't think I can loose with any of these. Thanks for the suggestions guys!

I already told them in work that I will be taking 2/9 and 2/10 off, so it's Killington on the 9th and 10th, Cannon on the 11th and back to Killington on the 12th. Going to training in NYC the 13-15, so that means no work for a week, life is good

One of the reasons I like AZ...I did a little research this past weekend and came up with Parker's, Thayer's and the Hampton Inn. Since I've never been in that area, I needed some feedback on these places. Where else but here at AZ can I sign on and watch as you all do my work for me! Wow, Andyzee even made up a cost comparison sheet!

Just made reservations for Parker's 2/9-2/12.

Yes, it did not escape me. My Utah trip this season is going to be a sudden departure type of deal. Someone's going to ask where I am and suddenly everyone will notice I'm gone.

I'll be the guy braving face shots in the Wasatch.

Plan on skiing somewhere on 2/10, just not sure where. First things to come to mind, but a bit of a trip in either case is Burke or Sunday River.
