Is there even enough snow? I know they opened up last week for like $20 for something like 2 runs. So sad there is not a lot of snow. I remember last year, on Thursday we were hit by a major storm.

Oh well.

I'm up for Blue or Moonstone.

[Hazy]

I' heard there was aleast some snow. The website shows the weather conditions up in collingwood. Apparently they officially opened this past Fri, Dec. 8. I know what you mean, I might plan to trip to Quebec, Tremblant.

[Chuckie]

i can't snowboard.. so i'll ski..

how much.

blue mountain hasn't replied to the e-mail yet.
They do have group rates, but I don't know the min # of people we must have.

My friend who organized the ski trip for another car club hasn't been online.

I'll keep you guys posted!

List of Potential Ski resorts:

Horseshoe Ski Resort:
Rentals: http://www.horseshoeresort.com/ski/rental_lesson.asp
Rates: http://www.horseshoeresort.com/ski/rates.asp

If we have 8 or multiples of 8 we have a good deal.
If we have more than 8 but not multiple of 8, I'll call horseshoe to arrange a deal. Group Rate is 20 or more people. They told me to call back when I have an exact # of people.

I went here for New Years Eve, its pretty good.
The runs are pretty decent but BlueMountain is more curvey.

Snow Valley:
Went here last season with Toronto Prelude Club but I was stuck on the bunny hill, I was learning snow boarding.

Rentals/Rates: http://www.skisnowvalley.com/tickets.htm

I recall TPC getting a group deal with around 15 people. I still have to call and ask.

BlueMountain:

Lift Tickets: http://www.bluemountain.ca/winter_lift_tickets.htm
Rentals: http://www.bluemountain.ca/winter_rentals.htm

They told me to call back with exactly # of people for group rate.

Edit: I can't see to start a poll. I'll start a new thread with a poll if people seeem to be split between ski resorts

[BLKOUT]

WOW, it has been a long time since I went skiing or snowboarding. When did people start skiing/snowboarding on grass in 10 degree weather? lol :P

[Skarbro]

This winter sucks ass. When it finally gets cold enough for the slopes, they will probably be crammed.

[BLKOUT]

for sure, I will be one of the people on those crammed slopes.

[Hazy]

I went to Blue last week and only two runs were opened. Both were half melting. And before that I went to Horseshoe and there were 5 runs opened and it wasn't two bad. I think right now Horseshoe is the better choice.

[majic]

lets get some snow first... ;)

[Xenon]

I'd be interested, if we got some snow.

[Fuman]

just snowed here in waterloo =).
if we go after chinese new year, I MIGHT be able to afford it.

god damn student housing, so expensive.
