You can learn any place and no need to pay top dollar for a mountain you can't ski, so I'm with you. It's all about the instructor. I don't know much about picking an instructor (it's been way too long), but make sure they are experienced with teaching adults from scratch. A magic carpet is a big help too.

...and not a 20-something, wanna-be WC slalom specialist....

I didn't see anything on their website for $25.00 but they offer a Sunday afternoon ticket every Sunday except for holidays for $29.00. They also offer a 4 for $99.00 deal for Sunday afternoons. Both are great deals.

It was on an email from SnoCountry this morning. I copied it from their newsletter.

Just incase any one missed it Platty in the Catskills is only 20$ tomorrow. Not all the expert stuff is open. This has been a wacky snow year for them.

I'm at Wachusett now on the free Fox Boston on the slopes ticket, thanks guys. They will be at Ragged next Friday. I went online about 6:15am Monday to score this ticket so if you're up early go for it!

Your going to correct him on the day but not for calling you Cornbread? Lol

Head, bread, tomato, tomahto, just want to make sure he's got the day right. Cornbread is good, I like cornbread, little butter, yum.
