Sat, Dec 14, 2024, 7:00 AM ESTLocal weekday skiing!! Who's interested?
Needs location
Hey guys n gals, this is just a general call out to see who would be into some weekday skiing in the Catskills/Berkshires resorts this season. Catamount, Belleayre, Butternut, Thunder Ridge, Berkshire East, would be the places we go to. If weekday skiing is something you can possibly do, please RSVP to this non-event. I have an SUV that can squeeze 5 peeps and 4 sets of skis so I can provide transport, and I'm near a Metro-North station 15 minutes from the Bronx. I also have great union discounts for many resorts.

If we qet a good amount of interest I will be posting weekday ski events starting early January.

See ya on the slopes!!
