C-rock, let's book a flight. Right now. I'm sick of this friggin' warm weather.
On a happy note, it's a beautiful day in VT and Mansfield is quite white up top...

I'm sorely tempted. Snowbird has early season deals. $100 gets you at the mountain lodging (w/kitchen) and a ticket. From now till Christmas. It is an awesome time of year to ski there. Imagine, the snow falling at an more than 1" hour, and half empty trams.....You do the math!
Did some flight research, Southwest
MHT->SLC Dec 5 2:10pm->8:25pm
SLC->MHT Dec 13 11:25am->10:25pm
$416
Played with travelocity a bit - but the dates never seemed to work. Almost got a <$300 deal, but again - the dates didn't work.
