I voted "not sure." I don't have my school schedule in front of me yet...IIRC that is around the time of spring break.

Do you historically have class on Good Friday? That's normally a holiday for many places.

I don't see why I wouldn't be able to make Good Friday, but I can't really commit to it just yet. ;)

Of course, things may certainly come up between now and then. It just seemed like a logical date that a few already showed support for. This is one of the most challenging parts about setting up one of these large gatherings. Just figured I'd throw it out there and if it works for most, then great and we move on to other details.

Not my super-secular institution. Currently Fridays are open for me, but that will be filled in I imagine with my job/clinic....we'll see.

Someone already said it...what a bunch of sick bastards.

I assume I'll be skiing that weekend, maybe that Friday too. It would be great if it were at SB/MRG.

Can't tell you for sure today.

Um.....buddy....

I voted "not sure." I don't have my school schedule in front of me yet...IIRC that is around the time of spring break.

....seems like nobody told you that school classes are OPTIONAL. Stop being a pawn for THE MAN and decide where, when and if you WANT to go to classes. Oh, and another thing.....don't ever let classes get in the way of your edjukation !

Your Delta House pledge name is.....Zippy.

A bunch of us got out at the Rver on good Friday this year. Good day, cause not everyone has to take a vacation day, but still kind of midweek. I would make that. snowmonster I'll write you a note. Your cool.

That'll be a pretty long note, Bob. Let's see what we can do though. Can't miss a gathering like this. Maybe I'll ski half a day. I'm amped for this trip and, as I write this post in the office, I'm wearing my Sugarbush shirt. Gotta support those who support us!

Leadville... Timberline campus. It's the only CMC campus that offers Ski Area Operations/Management as a major.

Spoke to your dad today...got the scoop. Leadville is over 10,000ft, you'll be skiing rings around us when you come back to visit....actually, you already do that. :D When I was your age going to the Glenwood Springs campus was my fantasy college.

:D I'm pretty stoked about it. :D

Enjoy, but be prepared to be pretty well cut off from the rest of the world up there. I spent some time on rte 24 between Leadville and Vail (which I admit was even more cut off). Ski Cooper is fun and you can get to Vail Valley in less than an hour as well as Copper Mtn. Also Monarch pretty quickly to the south. You likely know all that.

If after some time you want more of a regular college exp at CMC, the alpine campus in Steamboat is more that style.
