    starting a ski club at school next year - suggestions

    Thanks, I found about 10-15 more bus and tour companies that I have ready to call tomorrow when I get home while it's still business hours. Once I get this all figured out, maybe I'll type up a list and post it somewhere so anyone else planning a ski club near me doesn't have to do through...

    So I'm working on getting quotes for trips. I talked to one bus company that gave me a quote for a 46 person bus on a day trip to liberty for $900. She said that a smaller bus would be more?!?. What do you guys think? What price should I be looking for on a bus, we probably need something in...

    Should i get shoulder reconstruction surgery?

    Good luck, my first chiropractor made things worse, my first physical therapist made things worse, both doctors I saw recommended surgery, and I was getting ready for back/neck surgery when I saw this really good osteopath as a last ditch attempt to avoid surgery, who recommended me to another...

    starting a ski club at school next year - suggestions

    This whole liability thing does make me a tad nervous, especially because a waiver means next to nothing once a law suit starts... The suggestions are great though! Since we have block scheduling, one idea was including a section in the waiver for weeknight trips about how they had their...

    line chronics

    I did end up getting the line chronics and they look really cool. Around here there isn't much else to do but park anyways so I probably spend 90% of my time when skiing in the mid atlantic in park. When I get to a real mountain like when I go to canada or something then I'm like 70% mountain...

    line chronics

    I'm an advanced skier. I can pretty much carve everything, and handle most slopes on the east. Well after a season of using K2 Escape 5500s (they were $80 with bindings on ebay, I don't really feel bad about only getting one season out of them). I'm thinking about getting line chronics. The...

    I was planning to go on frequent flyer miles (I have them up to wazzoooo... on usairways, maybe they'll still be good next year). Do you think its safe to make plane reservations within a few months - with frequent flyer miles you need to make them really early, and then just wait and see for...
