[snowriders] Burton Shopping night + Upcoming bus trip to Stratton

[MIT Snowriders Members]

Hello again, Snowriders!

This is your weekly update for next week's plans, which in this case 
will feature two exciting events: The annual Burton discount shopping 
night and a day trip to Stratton Mountain.

Here is the info:

1) Burton Discount Shopping night:

Come one, come all, to the annual Snowriders Burton Discount Shopping 
night!

Do you want to buy hard goods (snowboards/boots/bindings) at* 40% off 
retail prices*?
Do you want to buy outerwear and other accessories for *50% off*?
What about* 2 for $20 T-shirts* and* clearance* rack deals at a *70%* 
discount?
And how about pizza, coffee, and other goodies to keep you going strong 
throughout the event?

If your answer to these questions is "Yes", then sign up for the Burton 
College Shopping night organized by your Friendly Neighborhood MIT 
Snowriders!

We will be taking a bus (free of charge) to Wrentham, MA to shop for two 
hours. Skiiers should note that Burton does not sell skiing-related hard 
goods, although there will still be great deals on apparel and accessories.

The bus departs from Sidpac at 7pm on February 4th. Shopping will occurs 
from 8-10pm, and then we will return to Sidpac by approximately 11pm.

While this event is free, we will be requiring a safety deposit from 
everyone. This will only be charged for those who do not show. 
Reservations can be made on the Snowriders website 
<http://snowriders.mit.edu/> starting this evening, *Wednesday, January 
27th, at 8pm*,* *and ending *Monday February 1st at noon. *

If you are on the market for some new gear, don't miss this opportunity!

2) Stratton day trip

Our next big mountain destination is Stratton Mountain, VT. Stratton is 
famous for long, well-groomed runs and great snow. We have high 
expectations for the snow conditions, as they blow snow onto 95% of 
their extensive terrain using state-of-the-art technology. You can look 
forward to a nice blend of greens, blues and blacks as well as a few 
double black diamond trails. The drive up should be short-- 
approximately 3 hours, so we'll be leaving Sydney Pacific at 5:30 am.

Sign ups will begin as usual in the afternoon of Sunday, February 7th, 
and will continue through the following Wednesday or until the trip 
fills up.

We will have more info about pricing and departure times, so stay /tuned 
/(pun intended)!

We hope to see you in the shop and on the mountain!

Until next time,

Your Friendly Neighborhood MIT Snowriders
