* Winterfest 2014 - Our 2 Biggest ski trips ever!! *

 
Winterfest 2014 - Jan 24 to 26 & Feb 21 to 23 
 
Except for a few updates, the section below is pretty much what I wrote in my last email to you 8 days ago about Winterfest 2014 . It received a good response, so I am going to leave it as is. I think it covers most of the important details of our ski trips. Also it saves me time trying to find a new way to convey the same info :) 
 
New Year's Eve 2014!
 
I know the suspense is killing you (or maybe not), but we will announce our New Year's Eve party plans very soon. When it comes to negotiating with venues in NYC, patience is a virtue. If you seem too eager, the prices go up and of course I am trying to secure the best place, value and package for all of us. 

One of my friends from out of town told me they were anxious to finalize NYE. I explained that's an "amateur move" and typically only tourists/out-of-towners really believe that a venue is going to book up in early December. No offense intended to my friends from out of the New York area :)

Since we haven't officially signed with a venue yet (as of the sending of this email), we'd appreciate any last minute thoughts, suggestions, ideas to help create the perfect party. If we take your advice, your ticket is on me!

Talk to you soon!

Your friend,
David

 Winterfest 2014

 

 
As you know from the half dozen or so prior emails, we are all going to Mount Snow on the weekends of Jan 24th and Feb 21st. We're getting closer to the ski season and the trip is booking quickly, so I'd like to get into some more specifics about it based on your questions.
 
Yes, we can match up roommates. No, you don't need to book with friends. Friends are welcome but by the end of each weekend we will all be friends.

We are co-hosting the trip with Club Getaway and combining our staff, resources and social networks to create 2 amazing ski weekend vacations!! Between us. we will have 100 to 120 guests going each weekend. Some ski. Some snowboard. Some do neither and just want to enjoy all the parties and activities we have planned!



We literally bought out all available space at the Snow Lake Lodge. The Snow Lake Lodge is a large Mount Snow owned hotel property. It's a short ride on the free Mount Snow "MOOver" shuttle route and walking distance to the Snow Barn.

You can book your own Single room, a Double, Triple or Quad. When you call me I can review the room/roommate options. Most rooms have 2 double beds and some have a king. The big advantage of a hotel over getting a house (like I used to do in past winters) is that each room is completely private with it's own bathroom. 
 
We will, of course, all share and enjoy the common areas of the hotel including it's bar/restaurant (called Walt's Pub), indoor and outdoor hot tubs, sauna and other facilities. Each room has a TV and phone, with free WiFi in the common areas.  

We also have a privately chartered 'party bus' bus leaving Fridays at 5:30pm from Midtown. Drinks and snacks make the ride go faster :) Plus you can avoid all the hassles of carpooling or the expense of renting a car. 

The bus will leave Mount Snow on Sunday after the slopes close so you have the opportunity for 2 full days of skiing, snowboarding or whatever you plan on doing with your vacation.

Weekend Itinerary:

► Friday night: Welcome reception at the Snow Lake Lodge
► Saturday morning: continental breakfast
► Saturday day: choose from skiing, snowboarding, snow shoeing, tubing or just hanging out with the group at the base lodge of Mount Snow.
► Saturday late afternoon: Live entertainment and happy hour at Cuzzins
► Saturday night: dinner, pre-party at the hotel and continue the party at the 
Snow Barn. The Snow Barn also offers live music.
► Sunday morning: continental breakfast
► Sunday day: once again, choose your activity.
► Sunday late afternoon: head back home :(

Prices are increasing as we sell out the trips. There are 5 different room options, so it's easier to discuss over the phone. All prices include 2 nights lodging, most meals, some drinks and all the parties. Plus, we locked in group rates on rentals, lift tickets and a whole bunch of other activities. Please note that we're almost sold out of Single/private rooms for 1 person.
 
We spaced the weekends out enough so you can easily join us for both. Plus, we are offering a 10% discount if you book them together!
 
Please call me at 212-579-4844 to discuss in detail or email [email protected] if you just want to review the complete price list.
