Spring Skiing in Mammoth

April 16-18

Please plan to join us for a fun weekend of skiing/riding and carousing!  We have three condos reserved at Mammoth Estates, with beds for about 20 people.  Mammoth Estates is just a short walk to the new village and gondola.  This will save us from having to drive or take the shuttle to and from the slopes! 

We are booking our condos through Vickie Hardy's company, EZMountain Vacations. EZMountain also will be doing our grocery shopping, and will be providing us with free welcome baskets and upgraded bath sheets (guys, that means big-ass towels).  

Dinner Saturday and breakfast both mornings will be included.  The food will be ski trip simple, so don't expect a Patti and Monika gourmet feast!  :)  Breakfast will be in each of the condos, and dinner will be together in the largest of the three units.  Hopefully everyone will be game to offer a quick hand with prep or clean-up Sat. evening.

We'll have a meeting spot on the slopes for lunch both days, though joining us will be optional, as will everything else other than paying for the trip and not stealing my very fashionable (in the 1990s) one-piece ski suit.

Saturday afternoon may include an apres ski drink in the new village, and there will be time for the condo's outdoor jacuzzi (and more drinks) before dinner.  After dinner, some might opt to go out dancing, but for the serious skiers and seriously middle-aged people, we'll have games and a fire in the condo (as well as...you guessed it, more drinks!) 

The cost for the weekend is $125 per person, including the condos and the three meals.  (There may be a small refund that weekend, depending on what the exact cost turns out to be.)  Additionally, I'll be asking everyone to bring a bottle of wine, some beer or another such treat.  I'll need your check to hold your spot.  Send it payable to me and as usual, refunds are as likely as me getting lucky on the trip.  Who knows, but the trip may fill up fairly quickly.  Let me know if you have a friend to bring along...we should have room if you let me know fairly soon. 

We'll have some private rooms with queen beds, which couples are welcome to on a first-come basis, based on when I receive your checks.  The rest will be a mix of full, twin and bunk beds, with no one having to sleep on the living room sleeper sofas.  Please, no smoking or pets in any of the condos.  In case it's of interest, there's a free wi-fi broadband Internet connection available in our main condo unit.  Sunday afternoon, we have a late check-out at 3:00 for those who would like to change before the drive home. 

I hope you can join us!
