Want to go to Steamboat in January?

So I'm running the Ski and Snowboard Club at the University of Minnesota, and this year we're taking a trip out to Steamboat Springs over winter break, from January 7th-14th. I want to make this one of the biggest trips yet, so I'm trying to spread the word to anyone who might be interested.
For $550, you get transportaion there and back, 4 out of 6 days riding, and 6 days/5 nights in kick ass slopeside condos. To go, you must be a member of the SSC at U of M, which costs $20 (gets you a shirt, deals like this, and free drinks at parties/tailgating).
You do not have to be a U of M student, or a student anywhere, to be in the club or go on the trip. The only restriction for the trip is that you must be 18+.
So if anyone on here is looking for a chance to get out west this winter, and don't have the means/$/buddies to do it on your own, this is your perfect chance to do it with 100 other like-minded people.
Just throwing this all out there. Let me know if you're interested at all. Thanks!
Mark Davidson

we take a bunch of coach busses and party there and back. food is on your own, but if you're good you can do it for less than $100.

To guarantee you a spot, a $100 deposit is due by November 8th. Final payment is due December 6th. You can sign up after the 8th, but since every bus we take has to be full, there is a slight chance we would have to turn a few people down who signed up after. But there are ways around that. so, $100 by Nov. 8th, $550 (full) by Dec. 6th.
As far as lodging, we stay in condos, not hotels. The condos available to us are The Phoenix, The Lodge, Storm Meadows, and Shadow Run. All are either slopeside or in the main 'gondola village' area = easily walk to/from mountain.
Again, this trip is open to anyone 18+. Most of the hardcore kids in the club are boarders, so it would be fun to have a stronger skier presence along. The more the merrier!

^hes right, come to a meeting, held every wednesday at 9:00pm in Moos Tower 2-530, and pay $20. that pays for pizza and soda at the meetings, t shirts, beer at parties and events, and other stuff throughout the year.
All times are Eastern (-5)
