What are you doing right now?

[wa-loaf]

I work every day. And I have cookies here.

You know I was considering heading down there Tuesday to check out the Kastle Demo and put my kids in lessons, but holy crap is Sundown expensive! $79 bucks for a 1.5 hrs lesson? It's $60 (holiday/weekend pricing!) at WA for 2.5hrs.

you working at sundown this afternoon and if so will you be bringing cookies?

I'll be working tonight. Going to try to bring some cookies but it depends on how the day goes. Yesterday, the kids were little monsters.

Working all day today, no xmas bonus or gift here.

Actually xmas bonus hasn't been confirmed yet., but seeing that last year was a terrible year for us and I still got one and this year has been real good so I would really be surprised if I don't get something.

We never get one, regardless of how well things are going.

My Christmas bonus is I get to take off early today, which after taxes equals about $crap.00 ! Going to the pub at noon and drinking a cold beer...priceless

Merry Christmas everyone

It's definitely not a discount mountain. The customer base supports the pricing structure though, so you can't really blame them for charging what they can get. I don't even want to think about what a mob scene the place would be if it were cheaper.

Right now, I'm shooting cookies...

Like B said, if it were cheaper, there would probably be more people than the hill could handle. Supply and demand...

Like bvibert and severine said, the place gets plenty busy at those prices, I can't imagine the people if they lowered the price.

It's not just the price it's the time. For little kids that doesn't feel like enough time for a decent lesson, especially if there is a big group.

It's a small hill... not much ground to cover. They also try to keep them on the hill for the whole time, which is probably why lessons start at age 5.

I've had 3 group lessons at Sundown--the only place I've taken lessons, actually, and where I learned to ski. I have no complaints but then again I'm not a child.

You both suck!

Oh, and I got my bonus too!

at work, wrapping up some deals, having a Lake Placid UBU ale, waiting for my biz partner to return from NYC to head down to the local pub for some Christmas pints with friends that are in our office building..wife and kids will meet me later there for some dinner (and a ride home!!!)

All the best!
