Thanks for the update Tim. I was at the Ski Chalet sale in Chantilly a few months back and swung by the Blue Knob booth, but you were nowhere to be found!!!! I took several BK Stickers, and am looking forward to another great year at the knob.

FYI, Laurel Hill Crazy is trying to get an Epic Ski trip your way this year.

Hi Ullr,
I worked the Dilly in Chantilly solo this year. It's a long show. I must of been at Lunch or Dinner. I'm sorry I missed you. Don't forget Toys-4-Tots at Blue Knob this Friday from 9am-5pm. Bring an unwrapped toy with a $10 value and receive a free lift ticket. This is a great event. Every kid should get a toy during the holidays. I really want to collect 500 toys this year. So tell your friends. Help get the word out. 500 toys or bust.

Tim,

Extrovert open before Feb 1 this year?????????

Tim - Although I've graduated from HS and moved on my influence on the ski club lasts. They've finally gotten the momentum and I just got an email (still on their list), it looks like you'll be seeing them over president's day weekend.

Hi Aaron,
Thanks for all your help with the group. You did a great job getting that ski club started. How's College life treating you? It must be real cool going to USC? I hope you are showing those West Coast skiers how we ski better on the east coast. Thanks again for all your help.

bktim, are there any lodging deals to be had for a bunch of DCSki and EpicSki bums? I don't know if there's a large demand but a few have expressed interest. What's your requirements for group rates? Dates are Feb 23-24 so lodging for Friday, 22 and Saturday, 23.

Hi Laurel Hill Crazie,
I will check with our owner and see what kind of deal I can give to the fine members of DCSki and EpicSki. I won't see him for about a week but I will ask him when I see him.

As I said, I can't guarantee a large crowd but a few have expressed interest in lodging. If you guys have group rates for lodging that may encourage a few more to stay over. If a bunch arrives and there are empty beds that weekend, I'm sure you could fill them with a last minute deal. I live less then 2 hours away so I'll probably commute.

I might be interested in staying there if we got a good deal. I've always wanted to check out BK.

Same with me, if I could get a good deal I'd definitely stay and enjoy the slopes.
