Burke Gathering (3/5) Roll Call

[Greg]

The Burke Gathering is set for Saturday, March 5. Please reply to this thread if you are definitely planning to attend. We need to try to get as close to 20 people as possible to get the group rate.

It's looking like that day may not work out for me (possible family committment). I have asked thetrailboss to act as the "Burke Gathering Ambassador". His role would be to define a meeting place/time and distribute the lift tickets which need to be purchased in advance. This thread is a good place for discussing these and other items.

As far as lift tickets goes, my approach will be for members to pay me by PayPal or check by February 19. I will then order tickets for those that paid and have time to get them to thetrailboss for distribution the day of the event.

So, if you are planning to attend, please reply to this thread with the total number of people in your party and I will contact you directly via private message to make arrangements for payment.

I will be there, of course, to help out and facilitate. However, I think that we will be using our 2 complimentary passes. :wink:

Maybe ask some of your non-passholder friends to join us and get discounted tix through AZ?

Seems like we need to get more active on this. I'm still in. Like to make plans. I'm on vacation before this trip so will be hard to follow prior to trip. TheTrailboss lets see that Burke positive motivation :wink:

As stated, read all of my posts :wink:

 

[thetrailboss]

OK, I count six people needing tix. We need 14 more...bring your friends...your pets...anyone who can ski or ride! I'll get in touch with some of my friends as well!

If you can't find anyone, play it safe and go to the Burke website and get the "buy one get one 50 percent off" promo or grab the "Northeastern Ski Map" with the $10 coupon in it. :wink:

18 inches of new snow up there from the last storm!!!!

 

[Greg]

It's looking doubtful that I'm gonna make it up there. However, I'm still prepared to organize getting the lift tickets in the event we can get a few more folks on board. I will contact the mountain later this week and let them know how many are definitetly coming and whether we can get some sort of price break, if not the true group rate...

I have that coupon if a group rate does not work I'll still go if others do. Thetrailboss Pm responded to You know I'm busting Stones :wink:

 

[TeleGrrrl]

I won't be able to make it because I'll be skiing in Chamonix.

Meeting all of you sounds like fun though!

Thetrailboss nice linc that was motivating. Your old small area opened also. Can't wait for this trip to put a few names to faces.

i am planning on attending, but again am concerned about the prepayment of tickets in event i can not make it or bad weather. definitely on board for attending but i'd rather pay a little more at the door than risk loosing some cash if i can't make it.

We need more people for a group rate anyway. We should just all hook up and use the coupons if the group does not get larger.
