oh shoot, i forgot about this. how much would it be to come down for the day saturday & spend the night and then leave in the morning? i really don't know that i can afford it & can't make the call till i get my check on friday, but if i go anywhere this weekend it'd be snowshoe that i'd want to go to.

If you would like to go just Sat-Sunday it will cost you $50.00 Like always we recommend for people to bring some food to share with everyone. If you are over 21 try to bring some type of liquor :).

Every year I rent a house at snowshoe. Last weekend our group went to Seven Springs.

More information about the house:
SNOWSHOE TRIP

If you get there Friday night its going to be $100 entire weekend.
Saturday to Sunday $50.00

This year the returning group can't make it. We have a few girls that snowboard :)

what to expect? (since we don't know any of you)

like...age group, ability, craziness level, any rapists or serial killers?

oh, and what about tickets? do you guys have a hook up to get them at a better price than at the resort?
