This is going to be a beautiful thing for this group if it pans out. Us dedicated souls constantly trolling for short-fuse deals and posting them immediately. I like the way it's going. Shhh! But then again they might like it, to drive customers in.

I saw the $300 for the Inn of the 6 Mountain 2 night stay deal and it seems like its just lodging. But I think its normally quite an expensive hotel. Not sure though.

Checked out the Happy Holidays lodging special....my wife and I are actually looking for a quick getaway right before x-mas and this may fit the bill nicely...$55 per person/night includes breakfast and lift ticket.
We both have Friday 12/23 off work and need to be back the night of the 24th so am thinking head up the night of the 22nd, ski Friday and half day morning on Saturday before driving home.

Anyone have any experience with the BV Inn? Seems pretty outdated but I'm sure it would be fine.

Also, if anyone comes across any other deals for this time frame (lift and lodging) post em up! I'm hoping just before x-mas time the mtns will be tossing some deals out there for pre-holiday stays.

Does it come with a time machine?

Wear your neon and you'll fit it just fine.

BTW, we gathered a posse of about 15 for the rollback day last year.. Some people split and went to Wildcat, but at days end, we did apres-ski, dinner and crashed at the Ski Wheelers club overnight:beer: I think we spent more time off slope than on slope, even though we skied opening to closing bell.. :razz:. Drop me a PM if interested. It was busy but most people were falling down on the greens, which kept the other stuff clear.

I asked if it came with a time machine because you wrote jan 7, 2011.
