My guess is it would be for the April Fools?
There have been a number of years it has been on Sunday, but most of those, to my knowledge, had to do with it being postponed from that Saturday.
Is this a misprint? If not why is it on a Sunday? I am bummed because I don't think any of my usuals (30+) will make it on a Sunday. Its just not the same when you have a 3 hour drive home the same day.

Two roads diverged in a wood,
and I- I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Pond Skimming and the Reggae Band are changed to Saturday so more can enjoy the festivities. Should be a blast.
Just out of curiousity does anyone know the origins of how\when pond skimming began and also when\how the event was associated with Raggae or Jimmy Buffett. Don't get me wrong. Any occassion to listen to Jimmy and down a 'rita is as good as any for me, but I was just curious. It's been around for a while and is done at most ski places.
I don't get the correlation between ski resorts and reggae music. Do ski resorts actually think this is the type of music the majority of their guests listen to?
I assume you're more inclined to listen to something like "Last Train to Clarksville". Sorry couldn't resist.

Hmmmm,
A connection between reggae music and skiing. I'll see if I can sniff out something that is common to both.

Yeah every once in a while a smell some weed riding up the chair lift. I also see a couple of people sporting dreadlocks but ski resorts are out of touch if they think that's their average guest.Originally Posted by othripper

I wasn't aware that sporting dreadlocks and/or smoking weed was a requirement for enjoying reggae??

It's more of a connection between warm spring weather, and reggae music. Many ski resorts around the country have raggae fests in the spring. The one the Loaf has every spring is legendary. BTW, raggae music is very popular here in Vermont. It' all about having a good time.
The market demographics of people who come to the resorts in the spring are very diferent than the one's that come during the peak season. I thought every gun toting chimpanze knew that.

Skiing is a dance, and the mountain always leads.
If ski resorts really believed that weed was that big of a thing for skiing, they would have designated 420 friendly gondola cars.
Now How did we get from Pond Skimming to this

Gondola cars AREN'T 420-friendly???Originally Posted by Mike_451

Reggae reflects sun, warmth, and good times, not unlike spring skiing... it's not like they're trying to cater to any particular guest demographic by playing it, it's one of those types of music that's generally socially acceptable in all settings as background music... if they were playing underground hip-hop I'd say that's a different story... but reggae... it's all good.
