SteveHebert Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Shawn, Bring me a beer. Have yet to delight my taste buds with your hom brew after nearly 10 years of missed opportunities! I have 2 batches available right now. I have a Wee Heavy (Scotch ale) at about 8% in the bottle and a really good Hefe than mimicks the traditional Wienstephen bananna clove accents of all the great Deutchland Hefe's. What's your preference? I will set 2 bottles aside of whatever you choose. And no, I can't guarentee this for anyone else. Shawn How about one of each! Can't wait for the taste test Link to comment

Wanted to come in on Thur night but, as of today, could not confirm a reservation for that night. Very nice woman helping me said she would find out why the rooms are blocked prior to our event and get back to me. Link to comment

OoPEZoO Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 As an FYI for everyone.......I've had a few people ask, so I thought I would just throw it out there. The majority of people last year stayed at the Inn. We had a few (maybe one or two couples) that stayed on top of the hill. The Inn is a typical hotel that is situated at the base of the mountain. There is a village built at the top of the mountain, and the more expensive condos are placed throughout the village. Both the Inn and the Condos are very nice and we just wanted to give people the option of a "cheap" motorcycle weekend, but also the potential for maybe dragging the whole family along for an extended vacation. That being said......its hard to beat a nice room for under $70 a night W/ included breakfast Link to comment
Quinn Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I don't remember breakfast last year. Maybe they only served it in the morning. --- Link to comment
OoPEZoO Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 It was there........do you remember breakfast THIS morning? Link to comment
Quinn Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 It was there........do you remember breakfast THIS morning? Ouch! That hurts. I remember both breakfasts this morning on my way back from Tenn. About the rooms: Seems the Inn at Snowshoe is closed until Friday,June 8th. The nice girl I talked with is looking into how the group reservation salesman is going to deal with those of us arriving on Thursday the 7th. She said she'd get back to me by in two days. Maybe a better rate for a first night stay at the top of the hill. Or maybe just some storage Pods with blankets in the parking lot at the bottom of the hill. ----- Link to comment
OoPEZoO Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 Just cause I like ya Bob I would also like to know this, especially considering our contract specifically calls out the dates from June 7th - 10th. We'll investigate and hopefully have an answer shortly. Link to comment
RT_Jim Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Gentlemen - I'm on it. I'm placing a call to my contact at Showshoe in the morning to determine what is going on with the Inn. I'll get back to you as soon as I hear what is going on and the solution. Sorry for the mixup. The first beer with be on Keith because of this! Jim Link to comment

RT_Jim Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Ladies & Gentlemen - For those thinking about spending Thursday night at the Inn, the issue of the Inn not taking reservations for that evening has been resolved! please, hold all applause.... beers are much more preferred... Please wait until noon on Monday (2/27) to make your reservations. By then, the reservation staff should be informed and everyone will be ready to take our reservations for Thursday evening. One item to be aware of: you will not be able to get into the Inn until 3pm on Thursday. If this is going to present a problem, please let me know. (If you get there early, ride up to the village on top of the mountain and look around) Thank you for your patience and we all look forward to seeing you in June! Jim Link to comment

RT_Jim Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Quinn - Do you know who you talked to? I'll be on the phone with Snowshoe first thing in the morning for you. They should be talking to Erica, not Steve. As soon as I get an update, I'll post here what is going on. Thanks for the heads up.... Jim Link to comment
RT_Jim Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Thursday Night Reservations Update I called and talked to the reservation people. Everything is good for us having Thursday rooms, but the technical guy is out of the office this week and they need him to update the computer to accept Thursday reservations. They apologize and have a list of people to return calls to once the system is fixed, which they anticipate to be Tuesday (3/6). Sorry for the delay - Jim Link to comment

Well, you can see that Shawn is the cruel one of the two of us. I just tell whomever that inquires about riding that I'm doing around 400 miles and some of it may be dirt, and I don't plan to turn around. If they still want to go, at least I warned them.
