Mount Snow: Inside Track

[skiur]

If you had any idea how far from the truth that is right now, you'd be snarfing Duff, Duff Light, Duff Dry or Duff Dark through your nose! [emoji23][emoji23]

Tomorrow marks 60 days since I last had a beer, with 15 more to go to win a challenge that my wife put me up to! She didn't think I could make it through our kids fall sports seasons without having a beer!!! Saturday, Oct 27th can't arrive soon enough!! Lol

No beer is easy, that leaves booze and wine readily available.......what do you win after the 60 days?

Wow! Good for you Jeff! I'll raise one in your honor tonight.

Myself, and a good number of my ski friends are the type of consumers ski resorts crave. We buy our passes early, we're there if not every, than most every weekend they're open each season, we spend money on other programs for our kids, we buy plenty of food and beverage from the mountain establishments, we come up and enjoy what the mountain has to offer year round, we bring our friends with us, who spend money at the mountain, and yes, we have a few adult beverages too in what feels to us like our hometown bar. If partaking in the full range of activities that a resort offers makes those of us who do it somewhat less of a mountain enthusiast, so be it. Pretty sure that GM's across the country crave loyal customers who drive revenue on a year round basis, and value their opinion as to what does and doesn't work when it comes to the core crowd

Sounds exactly like me.

I could do no beer for 60 days easily, but no wine would be an issue for me for sure.

The bet was no booze, of any kind, and after my 75 days, there will be no comments whatsoever from my wife when she sees the VISA bill in the coming month or so for the pair of skis that I'm thinking about buying :wink:

Pound a PBR-o-witz for me! LOL!

Congrats 60/75 days off a major achievement.

I try to set small goals.. like keep it to 3 cans on a week night. Your method is admirable though!

 

[skiur]

Any other questions?

You guys planning to make any snow later this week?

 

[urungus]

Will there be any non-preferred parking at Carinthia ? How far will we have to walk now?

 

[MountSnow]

All of the parking that existed last season will be regular parking. The preferred parking will all be new spaces that we have created in the footprint of the old base lodge.

 

[MountSnow]

Game on!

Not asking for a definitive, hold you too it in a court of law, answer by any means. But might I want to call my favorite ski shop up in the Valley today to ask very kindly if all of my family's gear is ready for use this weekend just to be safe?

I'm looking for any "excuse" to get out of mass quantities of yard work this coming weekend that I can find!! [emoji6]

In the same boat, my board badly needs some work done to it so wondering if I still have time to do said work or if I should be prepping for sometime in the next several days...
