Ski4Food Posted December 21, 2005 Report Posted December 21, 2005 Greek Peak will once again be open for FREE on Christmas Eve (December 24th) With the donation of one canned good you can enjoy the slopes from 9:30-5 and still make it home in time for midnight mass! We should have most of the mountain open and all areas of the terrain park! It'll be a great oppurtunity to come ski at Greek Peak! Let me know if you're planning on coming up! It looks to be a great day on snow! On behalf of everyone at Greek Peak "Happy Holidays" Quote

NJSkiFamily Posted December 21, 2005 Report Posted December 21, 2005 Ski4Food, What a wonderful idea. I don't know if its true up in your area but in NJ the local food books are seriously short of donations because everyone gave so generously for the hurricanes. I'm sure any donations you get will be greatly appreciated. BTW.....where is Brantling? Quote
skifreak Posted December 22, 2005 Report Posted December 22, 2005 Well its nice to see someone give out free lift tickets without making you do something stupid like wear a santa costume. Atleast here you are giving a canned food good for a good cause. Quote
Papasteeze Posted December 22, 2005 Report Posted December 22, 2005 Does anyone have a santa costume I can borrow? Sounds like some silly fun.. Quote
NJSkiFamily Posted December 22, 2005 Report Posted December 22, 2005 Papa, you're in the wrong thread...... Quote
ThinkSnow Posted December 22, 2005 Report Posted December 22, 2005 Papa, you're in the wrong thread...... Sorry, I just had to. Now back to your regularly scheduled thread. It really is a cool thing you're doing. If I wasn't going to BC, I'd be there in a second. Quote
LineSki Posted December 22, 2005 Report Posted December 22, 2005 why on earth would you go to that little mt skidude? Quote
skierboi Posted December 22, 2005 Report Posted December 22, 2005 (edited) good ussa points Edited December 22, 2005 by skierboi Quote
Ski4Food Posted December 22, 2005 Author Report Posted December 22, 2005 Someone was right when they said local charities and food pantries are hurting this season due to the hurricanes. We all supported the hurricane victims but neglected those in our own back yards. I know the ski free day conflicts for a lot of you... But (It's just a thought and I'd like some feedback) If we tried to do another day where proceeds of ticket sales went to a good cause how many of you would be interested in coming up for the day? Or perhaps another free ski day with a canned food donation. You all are a good market study, there's a little bit of everyone on here, and I know if I can get some of you to make the drive, then people in our local market will surely be on board as well. Our season is usually a few weeks longer than yours so maybe an early sping event. Let me know what you guys think! Thanks for all the great input and for adopting this NY'er into PSAR! Quote
skidude Posted December 22, 2005 Report Posted December 22, 2005 I think a lot of people on this board are a little broke. I think something where you brought in 3 or 5 cans of food (or other stuff like that) would a good idea. Mountain Creek gave free tickets to anyone who donated $25 to redcross (threw them) a free ticket. THat was another good idea. Quote
Papasteeze Posted December 22, 2005 Report Posted December 22, 2005 Definitly focus on the days after the Poconos close, There was a tremendous amount of grumbling last year when everyone closed with good or great coverage. Quote

That's true, but the broke-ness also comes into play on the longer drive to NY... I for one would go, and think you would have a good local response, but I'm not so sure you'd be able to lure a whole lot of people from this area up... Maybe like Rob said, right after our season ends. Quote
Glenn Posted December 22, 2005 Report Posted December 22, 2005 You have another canned food day in the spring and I'll be there. Quote
VTmark Posted December 23, 2005 Report Posted December 23, 2005 if you have another one in the spring i'll be their too. but it hast to be after the ponco's close. Quote
