    By the way, the Grift rocked the house on Saturday. That is the most people I have seen at a Saturday night Castlerock show. The dancing was insane. Shawn and Richard had big smiles at the end of the night. The mountian needs to do some reseach, spend the cake and get some good acts in. The valley is starved for good talent. Make it happen!!!

    They should be able to get some good bookings. I know the owner of Nectars in Burlington and he once told me that they help with the Bookings at Sugarbush. So, One would think that with that resource they could get some good bookings for the mountain. Tough to get a band to play with out a cover charge though unless they are guaranteed money!

    and once again the CRP will be closed for the superbowl. Bummer. Obviously, I'll be the only one watching that game.

    I split this out b/c it's probably worth discussion outside of the original announcement thread.

    Why would the CRP be closed for the Superbowl? That makes zero sense to me.

    Thank you. Yes, it makes zero sense. They close at 5 pm on sunday and evidently see no reason to stay open for the single biggest annual event in the US. An event which it is almost obligatory to drink beer and eat bar food.

    I have been doing superbowl at SB for about 15 years. The last game I can recall seeing at the resort was the giants ravens in 2000 in the old gatehouse. Frankly, I don't understand why they don't do some kind of marketing deal for this weekend. free lodging on sunday night or ski for cheap on monday.

    I didn't realize they still played that when the Patriots don't make it

    That is kind of funny considering they are advertising $45 lift tickets for Superbowl Sunday on the front page of the SB site. You would think they would capitalize with food and drink after? No? Maybe just Timbers. The numbers may suggest that not that many people are staying up for the game.
    Who knows.

    Superbowl specials at the Smokehouse are $3 VT microbrews, $2 Narragansetts, and some food specials ( once I think of 'em :/ )

    I agree 100%. They rocked and it was a blast. Bring in good talent and the right kind of music for a ski area and the crowds will come to the mountain and to CRP (even though its a basement).

    Thanks. We have watched the game there in the past and it was a good time.

    Are you sure that CRP is going to be closed for the Superbowl? That makes no sense.

    I went in and asked and was told they close at 5. I said I can't believe they are not staying open for the game and they said it was too late.

    This strikes me as a really good idea. Provide an incentive for people to stay/ski on a normally quiet day. Add a big SB party with a $10-20 cover (for a bar food/pizza buffet) and drink specials all night long but free admittance for those who book via the special package.
