Tell him your mom/dad/grandparent has got some big surgery this weekend and they really need you to be there for moral support/drive them there cause your other family members are going away for a wedding somewhere else.

I always used to use the "family emergency" card. Employers normally don't give a fuck if its something you're doing out of choice, which is why I'd say something like:

a) Your aunt just got in a car accident and is in the ER
b) Grammy just had a heart attack
c) You found your biological mother in Vermont

I'm not sure how old you are, but how about a college visit? I can't see an employer not giving you the day off to go check out a prospective school.

1) family member is sick in Vermont need to visit them.
2) tell them its a private matter than you don't feel like sharing but needs to be taken care of...in Vermont

i think a random relative's wedding is the best bet, as long as your employer doesnt know any of your family members well
otherwise the college thing was good, cause your boss cant say you arent allowed to have a good education or whatever

Last summer I told my supervisor that my sister is getting married in Oregon and I wouldn't be able to work a certain weekend. He then asked what city and I said "Eugene" but I was really going down to Timberline to shread and see the GF. You just gotta have some bullshit ready that sounds legit.

alright there are some good ones in here but not much that I can use.... im thinking maybe the one about my spancers needing me there, but I think she knows im not quite sponsored... I could tell her that they are not sure about sponsoring me and If I go there and do good they will put me on the team. she knows skiing is my life so this might pass
