Flagstaff Nordic Center

We are talking Saturday the 15th, right?

My Explorer seats 4 comfortably, 5 if you know each other really well, or would like to.

How about 7 AM from the Dennys on Bell and I-17 on the 15th? I could be talked into earlier if you all feel you'd like to. The Nordic Center opens at 8. I checked the website, looks like some discounts are available on-line and more if we call ourselves a group, but none of it is very expensive. Anyone want to be treasurer?

Now the really important stuff, where do we eat afterward? Is the Junipine Inn still in business? I had a great prime rib there once but it's been a long time.

I'm in....I would really rather go sooner! This snow is AMAZING! I think it's more like down hill skiing, instead of cross country, either way.....I'm totally IN. I like a little variety in my life! Mary

Well, I'd love to go and I don't have to work....sorry Di Sad

We'll miss ya!

But it's been numerous years since I've been cross country skiing..I'm thinking 1980 or so but I loved my experience in Stowe, Vermont. I even got some downhill in there but I prefer cross country. So I guess I'd be a "newbie" all over again. Hope that's OK

As long as one of you will pull me out of a snowbank if I happen to fall in!

Count me in!

I do think he meant the Denny's at Bell and I-17.

Yes, Denny's and I-17, thanks.

Are we still planning to do this? Has anyone made reservations and/or retrieved a price list for equipment rental?

Heck, I'd have fun just sledding down a hill!

Tme to firm this up?

So far Trish, Denise, Hank, Mary, and me have expressed interest. That works for the boy-girl-boy-girl thing at dinner afterwards, but we could use some more folks. Come on you AZ snow-virgins, come up and freeze.

I'm planning to drive, PM me if you'd like a ride. You are certainly welcome. Is 7AM from Denny's at I-17 OK. Earlier? I"m coming from Ahwatukee, that's about an hour earlier start, but I can do earlier if you like.

Hank, where do you want to meet?

I suggest everyone make their own arrangements for the tickets, gear, and reservations; see the link posted earlier.

I'm out of town Sunday night to Tuesday, maybe I can get email. I'll check back asap.

Boy did I find this post too late. I would have loved to come along had I realized. I gotta sign on more often and look around more. Saturday is a no go for me but you guys have a good time. My skis are in the garage for the last 7 years. Trish I'd be like a newbie too. I'm sure a few swooshes and you'll be back.

I think I may go skiing on Monday. Too bad I can't take any pictures of teaching myself how to ski! It would be a whole lot of entertainment thats for sure.

What time do you plan on getting to Flag or the Nordic Center? I can meet you either place...
