Getting to Mount Snow

i was told to be at the bus at 2pm. At least that is what manthan said and he has a knack for giving people the wrong information about trips. i get there at 1:48 and there is no one at the Ski Shop parking lot. i then called manthan and he said he wasn't allowed to leave his school until 2:30 PM and that the kids on the trip would be let out of school at 2pm.

Rich soon showed up to to keep me company. We decided to check out the ski shop since rich needed new goggles and some ski socks. Kept us occupied until 2:30 when the bus finally showed up. Though we weren't sure if we could get on or not. Plus we didn't feel like introducing ourselves to random people not knowing who was running the trip. We ended up getting the worst seats on the bus, right behind the bus driver where there is a wall in front of the seats with the least leg room on the bus. Then someone gave up their seats across the aisle and one row back so rich and i quickly jumped on those and saved the worst seats for manthan and his friend mike.

The ride wasn't too long, just about 5 hours. One good thing about our seats were the distance from the kids. The only time i heard them was during trivia. rich won a beanie. It was orange and had a face on it. It kind of looked like a guy but could also be a girl. So we just said it was David Bowie. manthan won a hat too, some lame plaid beanie with a jolly roger on it.

Eventually we got to the resort. i've never stayed at a mountain before but its pretty nice not having to take a shuttle from your room. The only bad thing about staying at the mountain is that your tempted to stay in your room awhile taking a break and you don't get as many runs in.

After getting in the room, the first thing to come out was the Bose Sound Dock and iPod....and then everyone unpacked their booze.
Mike decided to order a shirley temple...the only manly way to drink a shirley temple is to not drink one. Plus his gay pose didn't help either.

What?! A Shirley Temple? Mike definitely needs to be stripped of his man card. That's in clear violation of the man rules.
