[COAS-List] SLC pre-meeting snowboard lesson

[Larry Hamel <larryh@medgrid.philips.com>]

For Salt Lake City attendees who'd like a good laugh:

I'm thinking of taking an introductory snowboarding class on Sunday, 13
Dec.  you're welcome to join me for the lesson, or just choose to watch
this live version of Funniest Home Videos...

Cost is around $60, including equipment rental and lift pass. Group lessons
(1-6 people) start around 9:30am with no reservations necessary.  Thanks to
Tom's referrals, I have information about lessons at Brighton and The
Canyons, and will wait till Saturday to determine conditions,
transportation and so forth.

If I can't sit down for long at the meeting, you'll know why :-0

located at the resort are usually booked last year or more so it would be
hard to find a room - also would be a bit pricey)
