AIC Ski Trip in March?

[David Lampe]

I had so much fun skiing for the first time in about 10 years last week, that I thought I'd like to go again. Just for fun I was checking out cabin rentals in Ruidoso NM during my spring break (3/10-3/16) and if 8-10 of us were up for it, it would be rather reasonable. Ruidoso is only a 9-10 hour drive from Austin so no air fare would be required and the rates for a cabin seem to be about $40-$60 per night depending on the cabin.

I was thinking some people could stay the whole time, some might stay for a night or two to be replaced by others later in the week etc. What is certain is that if we do this I'd need to reserve a cabin asap as they are filling up. Lift tickets are about $50 a day, ski/snowboard rentals are about $25 a day, Ruidoso has two different casinos for those who'd rather gamble with their money than their lives and overall it is just a really cool town.

Post here if you'd SERIOUSLY be interested. If this thing takes off I'll set up some sort of sign up doc. for people to commit to a space and time period. At the budget cabins I'm checking out you may not be guaranteed a luxury such as a "bed" to yourself, so unless you're comfortable with sharing you might also consider bringing a sleeping bag.

I already have a work gig lined up for Spring Break, but I miss skiing so much - if you do it again next year I'd love to go!

Hmmmm. haven't skied in a few years. I might be into this - my spring break is at the same time. Let's see who else is up for this.
