MIT Snowriders officers will be attending the 11/11, 6 pm showing of

people what to go get pizza.  Tickets can be purchased at:

6) Season Kickoff Social

Snowriders will be hosting a Season Kickoff Party on November 30th  
from 6-8 pm at MIT's favorite watering hole, the Thirsty Ear Pub.   
It'll be a great way--for those of you 21 and older, of course--to  
meet and greet your fellow Snowriders, and the perfect forum to tell  
exaggerated extreme skiing stories.  We will have complimentary pizza  
and soft drinks for you, and the Ear's normal libations will also be  
available for purchase.  Mark your calendars...

This event is brought to you by the Graduate Student Council.

7) First Bus Trip of the Season --> Sunday River

Last but not least (and also to make sure you read to the end), MIT  
Snowriders first bus trip of the season is scheduled for Sunday,  
December 3, 2006.  The resort of choice is Sunday River, Maine.  More  
information will follow two weeks before the trip and signups will  
open the week before.

In addition, Snowriders is in the process of recruiting new bus  
monitors for our trips.  The role of the bus monitor is crucial to  
the success of each trip.  Your role as a monitor starts two weeks  
before the trip and ends as soon as everyone exits the bus safe back  
on MIT campus.  The total work load is roughly four hours, not  
including your free bus ride to the mountain.  If you are interested,  
please email sr-bus at mit.edu  Serious inquiries only, you are  
responsible for 55 passengers!

******************************************************************

Again, many thanks to everyone who purchased a season pass.  I can't  
wait for this season to begin and I hope to ski you on the slopes.
