Hi Everyone!!!

Hope everyone is doing well and enjoyed this rather hot and humid summer we’ve had, along with a big wet summer also!  Now that the weather is getting a lot cooler, I figure it’s a good time to start setting up some snowboarding trips.

I will keep the post short since I know most of you will read right past this and scroll right down to the numbers.

After going back and forth, negotiating with the resort all summer, I got them to keep the prices pretty low.  They had to race prices due to all the damage that Irene caused the resorts, but it’s only a few bucks.

For the annual Killington Trip this year, it will be on the weekend of December 9-11, 2011. Killington always has the most open terrain during this time and has the most available terrain for you to ski/snowboard at this time of the year. It’s a good way to warm up the legs for bigger trips during the peak season.

Here is the info on this year Killington Trip:

This year, there will be even more snow because they plan on opening more terrain with the newest technology in snow making.

A bus will be available for this trip. Locations depend on where people are more concentrated in. Most likely, it’ll be on the corner of Lafayette and Grand St. in Manhattan, and College Point Blvd and Sanford Ave. in Flushing, Queens.

Resort options will be at Mountain Green Resort and Pinnacle .

Mt. Green: The Health Club offers: 54′ indoor pool, Jacuzzis, sauna, steam room, weight room, and cardiovascular room. Racquetball and Massage are also available for a fee. They also have a bar and restaurant all within the resort.

We will be arriving Friday night, Dec 10, and checking out Sunday morning, Dec, 12.

Here are the prices and options:

All this pricing is based on a FULL room. 1 bdrm sleeping (4), 2 bdrm sleeping (6) 3 bdrm sleeping (8) , 4 bdrm sleeping (10). Full unit occupancy requires 2 people per bedroom and the use of a pullout couch in the living room to sleep 2 people
