Hey NS,

WHEN: Friday Dec 12th and Saturday Dec 13th

WHERE:

Friday: Grampa Grunts Lodge - Party starts at 7pm

Saturday: NS Takes over Jay Peak (we're looking into a group rate)


WHAT: Bring an ugly xmas sweater to the party!


We will be holding a Season Kick-off Party in Montgomery, Vermont (10 miles from Jay). The party will be taking place in a huge condo we're renting at Grampa Grunts Lodge.

Saturday morning, for those still alive, we will ride and take over Jay Peak VT to CLAIM it our home mountain for the day!

Doug Bishop (Mr.Bishop), Jeff Schmuck (schmuck), Paul Stanisci (nopoles), Jason Mousseau (mousseau), Mods and myself will all be present. Come out and show your support for NS and freeskiing. We will be giving out obscene amounts of stickers and shwag, and we'll probably have some sweet contests for you guys to win stuff. This should be a night to remember!

Accommodations: The condo we are renting is 250$ a night and can sleep about 15 people, Grampa Grunts has super cheap rooms, usually about 30$ per person. However, you guys can rent giant condos that sleep 10+ people, which will make it pretty cheap per person. Ask to stay in "The Happenin", we have already booked the back condo where the party is taking place. Please don't tell him we're having a party though.

Also, don't come to the party expecting to trash the place, this guy arguably runs the best hostel on the east coast and I have a good relationship with him.

To book at Grampa Grunts call: 1-888-467-5110


Please RSVP to ns.themovie@gmail.com, we'd like to get a rough count of how many are going to attend, also, please specifiy if you will be skiing, partying, or both.


THIS WILL BE A HISTORIC PARTY, DO NOT MISS IT!!!

See you there!

Jon, you're sleeping in the basement if I see you in the park. That's like going to a strip club for good conversation.

^ should've noted I was joking w/Jon:)

For those of you headed up, all of northern VT is under a severe winter storm watch from Thursday into Friday. Snow, ice, sleet, and everything else. Most of the area approaching Jay from either side is out of cell range. Drive safely.

Saturday should be a sick nickel day though.

Seconded on the drive safe and smart. Please don't be one of those Massholes with shitty all season tires who get stuck getting up the hills on the highway and block access for the rest of us. The whole area can get some pretty sketch driving in any type of storm, be prepared

Ditto that, had this happen to me on the way out of Mt Snow a couple weeks ago, 20+ cars ended up having to stop on a hill, and at least half of them didn't make it up.

sorry, but those days were shattered the day Jay was bought and announced they were building hotels, high speed lifts, etc etc...but dont worry my friend, the majority of people go when its shitty, rainy, freezing cold, trck the weather, and you will always manage a good few pow days every 2 weeks or so

Is anyone driving up from the Waitsfield area (or somewhere relatively close by) on Saturday morning?  If so can I grab a ride?

Better yet, is anyone diving up from NYC after 2:30 (when my midterm ends)  jk, really the first one, but if the second applies to you then great, haha.

If you're headin up at one of those times then hit me up wit a PM.

jay's website says a foot of snow fell overnight with more coming throughout the day.


down here in albany is all ice, so if you're coming from the south deff leave a lot of extra time. power is out all over albany and trees/powerlines are coming the roads. i've heard that north of here and in vermont mostly got snow, and a lot of it, so again, plan accordingly. take main roads if you can too.

Oh, we should organize a time for everyone to meet!

Plus we'll need to give away the "tallest tall-T" lift ticket prize...

So if you're broke and can't afford a ticket, just cut like 3 shirts together so that you've got one that drags 3' behind you.

Bam, free lift ticket!
