IRC Channel: #MNFurs (irc.furnet.org) Howdy folks,
Well, December is already upon us, and the snow is here to stay. I can't speak for everyone when I say I love winter, but I know a few of you can possibly agree with me.
Just recently, I managed to nose around the thrift store in my town coming home from college classes for the day. Out of sheer dumb luck, I managed to walk out of there with a complete pair of skis, poles, and a carry bag, still in good working condition, for 30 bucks. So, naturally, I've already been plotting a weekend to hit the slopes.
Then I thought, why not invite the gang?
For those of us who live in the Minneapolis Metro area, I propose on an off-meet weekend that we have a day at the snow hills that we can all have some fun.
Right off the bat, I know three possible ski resorts, Afton Alps and Highland Hills. Or, for those willing to make the hour and a half drive from the cities, Mount Kato down in the Mankato area.
However, not everyone can ski or snowboard, or wants to ski and snowboard, so a site that has a snow tubing hill will also have to be considered.
Then there's price, time, so on, that all have to be arranged for, as well as getting rentals arranged if needed.
It would likely be an all day thing like the picnics, and there may or may not have to be some reserved space at the lodge for a party, if some people would rather play inside, as well as food break for those outside.
What are your thoughts, folks?
Cheers,
thesomething

Me and my family go to Mankato every once in a while to shop around, anyway, my mom'd probably like to see you again too :\ It's nice to be close, but...
I'm just not talented enough. D:
