Advice for our Soon to Betrothed

[M@]

My advice for the wedding: Make sure your car gets a highly visible "Just Married" painted on it somehow. We drove from stowe to montreal the day after the wedding and all the cars beeping and waving all up 89 was great!

And play that "Just Married" card whenever you can. We got on a plane to France and scored 1st class for the 8hr flight both ways by telling the gate attendant we were newlyweds.

And.. uh, something about Tuckerman... ummm, oh yeah! Get sleeping bags that zip together. Makes the long cold nights a little more bareable (and increases that probability of 10pts on the Purity Test :D )

If your JUST MARRIED at Tucks - you get and "end spot" in the shelter!!!

All your Skiing guests can use their ski poles to make an archway, whether you are on dry land or not.

Weddings are as much for the families as the couple. Your Aged relatives will want to be there, Tux might be kind of hard on them...unless you can persuade the WMNF that they should give them a lift in the "cat"...then it would be just a little hard on them.

Mount Flatten...'scuse me, Stratton has a lot of facilities that might be worth looking at. The Mt Washington is a nice Hotel, Bretton Wood also has nice facilities.

Jay and the Loaf have some accessible onslope condos and a village church nearby. Stowe is also loaded with facilities.

Good luck on your brave new venture...however you make it happen!

Awe... this brings back fond memories when :chair: Kate and I :wedding: and spend our honeymoon in the Poconos... just us and my 11 foot Volkl's. We brought the 'costume' below since it was around Halloween and the resort was having a halloween contest with a grand price of a free trip back for best costume. We had to drive 8 hours to the resort in Pensylvania with the HUGE ski between us in our van... what a pain. In the end we lost the contest... the winners simply bought some white plastic garbage bags and 'dressed up' as 'white trash'... go figure.

In the past though I did win a few prizes with those skis, including a day trip to Tremblant.

Dave that costume rocks. I refuse to believe some white trash beat that costume. It was totally fixed if you did not win.

That might make a really good ride over a pond skimming contest though.

That might make a really good ride over a pond skimming contest though. Well what happened M@ was that there was only about 25 people at the contest... not too many had costumes. This other couple wasmore rowdy than us, had drunk more and met some other drunk people... thus they had there own 'support' group. The price was given based on applause. The leader singer of the band that night however came up to us and said we should have won, and the resort photographer made a point of giving us a photo of our costume at no charge. Aw well, we still had our champagne room to go back to cry in!

Dave you should have won having lugged that ski around all night...

...you ever bring that thing up to Tucks?? :eek:

[M@]

I demand a recount... it's the American thing to do.

Excellent work on the ski & ticket! Whats the ski made of, and how much does it weigh?

Elwood: The ski is unfortunately not designed to handle the high winds at Tucks... otherwise I just might!

BladeGirl: The ski is made with a wood frame... sort of made like a ladder. It is thicker in the middle however like a real ski. The front adjuster for the toe piece is bad of a Cloverleaf tuna can. Theres lots of cardboard and the skin is a thick yellow plastic. Was something like 60 hours to made it... never finished the second ski. Its basically a halloween costume project that got WAY out of control. :skis: :pumpkin:
