How about a "nearing the end of the season" meeting at the mad bus stop. We can count the kids and enforce our own boarding rules while drinking whiskey (or in my case bourbon).
Seriously, though, we should have an apres ski meeting before it gets too late.

Perhaps, if there is some type of end of the year apres tilt. . . . . (End of the year still being way far away, of course)" Perhaps we could check with Tin Woodsman re. whether Castlerock Pub is large enough for this group??

I'm Tin Woodsman, and I approve this message.

BTW, the re-opening of the Wunderbar and the announced plans for some sort of apres venue in the GSL pretty much bear out my point on this, no?

That must be a question for Win? I personally prefer the Timbers apres-ski experience (although I do have a few suggestions for that...)

Re-opening the Wunderbar? That's the best news I've heard all year. Sugarbush without a Wunderbar is like the valley without the tooth. Oh yeah, I forgot, that's been closed too.....

All we need now the Den to re-open.

This topic kills me. I have been saying for years the valley is full of cranky old guys that feel they own the mountain.
I saw some guys bitching at ski school for taking kids through the Nastar course. The complainers didn't want to wait.
No wonder young people flee the valley and the MRV is dying. Crotchety grouches like you are the reason why.

Thank goodness for the big buses. They have been great.

So TOS...exactly who is the crotchety grouche/cranky old guy your talking about.

Nothing like a crotchety young guy complainer complaining about crotchety old guy complainers. The cycle continues.

Perhaps if you get sour grapes about SRO's post you can wash it back with a nice seasonal Wolavers. I think the end of winter seasonal is a Wolavers Crotchety Cabbage Copper Ale. Us ole timers call it the Triple C and it goes well with prunes.

You want to complain?!! I've had these shoes for two weeks and already worn a hole right through them!

FWIW-after missing the bus from slidebrook to ME on saturday, My group and about 5 others were lucky enough to get a ride on the sugar shuttle, which is much better then getting in a bus anyway.
