It would have to be mid march when gunny is primed. Maybe SD would offer a ticket deal..Any interest?

Don't expect too much of a deal. The CT Ski Council only gets $6 off, that's only Sunday through Thursday. I don't mean to sound ungrateful but you'd think a CT mountain would offer a better deal to a CT based organization with thousands of members. They charge $56 for a Saturday ticket when Mount Snow gives us a non-holiday Saturday ticket for $64. Hmmm...do I ride 15 trails on 625ft of vert for $56 or drive another 40 min, pay $9 more and ride 80 trails 1700ft of vert with better snow, parks and trail variety? Tough decision.

$42 is a pretty good discount if we can get 20

Can Gunny support the additional traffic? A lot of us will be there discount or not, but unless we could somehow reserve the trail, seems like the added bodies might lead to less than optimal conditions.

They put so much snow down I doubt there would be an issue.

I was thinking more about a traffic - not sure how many people ski can zipper line Gunny simultaneously before waiting time or collisions become an issue.

we hit the line old school..... meaning groups of 4-5 would follow each other, giving the skier ahead roughly a twenty yard head start.

I hope this includes synchronized daffys, twisters and spread eagles off random bumps, as well!

Not to hijack this thread, but we should do one at Platty. On end of the month tickets are 20$ on Wednesday to Friday last days of the month .

Sorry for thread hijack.

Bummer that sundown is a long drive. Maybe there could be a circuit of these, and Mountain Snow could be a stop?!
