914World.com _ 914World Garage _ OT: knobCreek sponsored ski clinc

Posted by: Sparky Jan 18 2005, 04:28 PM

Not affiliated blah blah blah... Well not really... My mother-in-law is an instructor at BrettonWoods and she passed on the info to me so I thought I'd pass it along here as I plan on attending. This is a men's only event sponsored by KnobCreek Bourbon. Either a one day or two day clinic, your choice, with a bourbon and cigar sampling afterwards. Details are up on their http://www.brettonwoods.com. I believe cost was $80 for the one day or $150 for the 2 day plus lift tickets. Sign up is on the website, I think it would be great to ski with some of you. Well most of you, ok a couple of you. I may have a lead on some discount lodging if anyone is interested.

The dicount lodging would be thru a guy that has some cabins and is rentingout bunks, $20 a pop.

My best,

-15 come on.. According to Accuweather it's supposed to be a balmy 17 on Saturday. Perfect for skiing. Besides you ski a little, sip a little, ski a little, sip a little, slip a little, splittle, diddle, fiddle IPB Image

The last time I skied was about 3 years ago at Copper Mountain CO. It was -12 at our condo when we got up. Aside from the long lift ride, the skiing itself wasn't bad. Then again, 2' of fress Colorado powder helped. Massachusetts is supposed to get a gool helping of the white stuff Saturday, so I have to assume the same for NH mountains.

I'd love to go, but my brace is kaputs and I won't ski without it or my ACL. Sounds like a good time though.

Hmm the crowd, well bourbon drinkers and ski instructors. Hit the website for details. Sorry I don't have more but it should be a good time. I'll be the fat guy wearing a blue Spyder jacket and black bibs.

Hope to see some of you!
