Since there was only 1 ski/snowboard meet last year in Detroit. I wanted to put together something closer to home this year. My idea is to have it at Bittersweet Ski Resort in Michigan. http://skibittersweet.com/cf/start/index_05d.cfm The prices are $29 lift ticket and $19 ski or snowboard rental. As of now any Saturday or Sunday in January were the dates I was thinking about. You would have to get there early to be sure and get good rental equipment. So I just want some responces on interest in this so hopefully we can make this event happen. And even if you dont do winter sports they got a nice bar area where you can look out and watch us fall.

 

i'm there! ... at the bar/lounge...

keep in mind that the NAIAS is also in January, so might want to check with the Detroit guys so there is no scheduling conflict.

 

make it a skateboarding one and i am there.
but screw some snow... i heard that stuff is cold.

 

Hell, I'm skating every weekend if it's dry and I'm not at a race.

It's hard for me to get motivated to snowboard around here after riding in Utah for 7 years.

 

umm, i'd be kinda interested. Never been skiing up in MI. ANy ideas how far from Cincinnati that is?

 

I agree. Once you taste virgin powder, it's hard going back to ***** ice.

 

I will only follow through with this if I can at least get 10 people to go and participate. Its no fun if only a few people go. So if your really interested in doing this start a roll call.

 

If I can get a group of 20 or more to buy a lift ticket you will save $6 on the lift ticket and $2 on ski rental. Snowboard rental stays the same and my lift ticket would be free

So with 20 or more people it would be $24 lift ticket $18 ski rental $20 snowboard


Anyone and everyone is invited and the date is still up in the air.

 

I would be up for it

 

Bump. Any word?

 

Any word on what? If its going to happen or not. Well so far there is about 6 people that showed interest in actually skiing or snowboarding and a couple that just wanted to go and hang out. I will look around for occupied dates and figure out when its going to happen. So I'll start the snowball rolling and put a few dates out there on monday and see who bites on the hook.

 

I might be up for some boarding in michigan if i have any extra money in jan.

 

If the weekend of January 28th is free I would like to have it on that saturday. If there is anything going on then let me know.

 

Delayed again, why now? V

 

Lets put it this way...I'm up for any date if everyone interested wants to aggree on a date thats cool. So I'll leave it up to those interested to decide on a date if thats ok.

 

Hey, not to make you the official planner, but I have never been to this place. Are people planning on skiing then crashing in a hotel? If so, if you've been here before can you make some rec's? Knowing I have a place to sleep aside from a long drive home would be a big help in getting me there.

Thanks ;)

 

Kalamazoo is the nearest big city to the resort I am sure there is plenty of hotel/motels there. I am not very good at planning the whole thing but I am good with ideas. If anyone wants to help out with the planning that would help out a lot.

 

The 28th is perfect. SE:Detroit's annual NAIAS event is the 14th or 15th so the 28th is great!

Ok Jan 28th it is. I'll start a roll call. Get on it as soon as possible so if we have 20 or more I can give Bittersweet at least 2 weeks notice and get us a group rate to save a few bucks.


Roll Call List:
