Beaver Creek 2007!!

Hello all snow fans!
The time for a celebratory memorial Beaver Creek reunion is here and it starts Saturday December 1st, 2007 and will last till Saturday the 8th.

What you need to know: My family has a time share in Beaver Creek that sleeps 12 comfortably, we have, and can get much cozier with more people and it all works out quite well. There are 4 bathrooms, a washer/dryer, full kitchen, fireplace, steam room and sauna, and, and, and, a hot tub!! Oh yea, and the best skiing in Colorado. (tho I know them's are fightin' words)

Tickets from NYC right now are about $525 RT, it is usually more time efficient and less stressful to just fly into EGE, Eagle county airport. You can ride the CME, Colorado Mountain Express, which runs every hour on the hour from Denver, but that costs $75 per person each way and for $150 you can fly into Eagle, save time and be picked up yours truly. If you want to drive from Denver there will be people driving up, my friend Kendal and Mike Harmon are the first two I know of as of yet and both have offered ride services, so if you want to coordinate a ride let me know and I'll put you in touch.

Lift tickets are about $72 a day and board rentals about $30 or so.

Cost for the condo will vary on how many people come and for how long. The place itself, I offer to you for free, you have to pay nothing for a fabulously comfortable place to sleep, but group groceries, gas, booze, and 1 car rental are divided amongst the group and we try to eat most our meals at home to save $.

Children are more than welcome, but I don't have a child safe bed so we will have to make accomodations, let me know asap, I think we can rent one from the front desk. There are two private bedrooms, so peeps with kids can have these rooms. Beaver Creek mountain is great place to learn to ski/snowboard with professional instructors for all levels, as well as babysitting services and kiddie day care. There is sledding, snowshoeing and all other types of snow activities available.

Here is the link for Beaver Creek Mountain for any other details you might need, like checking the snow base. Oh yea, Beaver Creek has a snowboard park!!

Vail is right around the corner, we go into town for music, food and shopping, so if you don't like snow activities there is still plenty for you to do.

I'm sure I forgot something, don't hesitate to ask. Oh, you don't have to come all week long, just for a weekend if that works better for you. Also, I lost my cell phone, could you email me your number? Does anyone know how to get in touch with Laura and Dave?

I have my ticket already and a confirmation from Harmon and Tommy. I really hope to see many of you make it out. I know it's hard with expenses, family and time constraints, but what I do know is that travel with my friends makes me the happiest I ever am. I have truly awesome memories of the times I have spent in Beaver Creek with Jeff, Harmon, Roberts and Matt and the revolving group of people who have been smart enough to make it out over the past 15 plus years. Please come shred some snow with me as I remember and celebrate Jeff in the best way I know how.
