I went through the stuff I have and came up with two places we should look into more. I am convinced there are better places, but this is what I have.

VRBO #637 "New House, Rustic Mountain Atmosphere, All Modern Conveniences"
4 Bedrooms/4.5 Baths (Sleeps 8-12)
Extra Stuff: Fireplace, Hot tub and Jacuzzi, Pool Table, Foosball, Darts, Heated Garage, Gas BBQ Grill, In-floor Heating System (ahhh... everyone together now...)
Anyway, this place is 6 miles to the slopes which is the bad part. We could ask him more about the logistics of getting to the slopes before we decide on this one.
Cost: $350 per night plus $150 cleaning fee = $1200/9 (not counting Jake or Kruti or Craig) = 133.34
For more info: www.vrbo.com/637
Contact: Jim Hargrave 940-437-5566 or crosstimbers@direcway.com

VRBO # 4484
3 Bedrooms + Other, 2 Baths (Sleeps 12)
Extras: Ski in/Ski out, Hot tub, Gas BBQ Grill, Big ass deck
Cost: $450 per night (includes taxes) and $200 deposit (returned at end) = $1350/9 = $150
4 wheel drive is necessary for their driveway and they say 2 cars max. I don't know what (if anything) this means to us.
This one also has a lot of beds. I think if I broke it down right all the boys can get their own beds. This is with 12 people going.
Master Bedroom: 2 people (King)
Bedroom 2: 2 people (Queen)
Bedroom 3: 4 People (Queen, Double, Twin)
Bonus Room: 3 People (Queen Futon, 2 Twin)
Living Room: 1 Person (Queen Fold Out Couch)
I think the second one is better as far as convenience, but the other one seems nicer overall and cheaper (because it is further away).

I contacted the second one since its a ski in ski out. To me that shit matters. I don't want to lug shit around. I like the private hot tub. I got ahold of the people. I like the price. It's available. I think I might make the deal.

QUESTION -- I will probably need some degree of the money up front to secure the place. Where do we stand in the green department and I'm not talking weed? I don't mind putting the security deposit on a credit card, I'm sure I can get the parents to do that, but it's 450 a night. 3 nights or four? Who's driving?

Meeting at my house, with the new furniture my mom bought b/c she thought we'd never trash downstairs again, think again OCD Becky! As much info as everyone can reply with would be outstanding!

Thanks everyone, let's make this the best one yet!

YIPPEE!!!

Good work...

I have no money and neither does Chisa, but I get paid next week, so I might have some to contribute by Thanksgiving.

I don't really care about the number of nights, but if we stay 3 it might be easier for people to take two days to drive out instead of Paul and Matt's marathon driving.

I don't want to drive mostly because I don't want to responsible for a car, but if someone else would like to pretend they belong to my parents and promise to take care of their car, I am sure they would let us take it. Or, I will have my car, which would kind of be better for us to take since it gets better gas mileage.

We could spend three nights there, but ski four nights. B/c hotels cost like 70 a night. We could drive out real close one day, hotel in Georgetown like last year, go skiing the next day and have the place that day and night. And on our fourth day of skiing would be our check out day, so we'd have to load up the cars, but we could stay at a hotel a few hours outside breck, then drive back the following day instead of through the night.

Do y'all like that plan?
So thinking that way everyone would have to pay $1350 divided by how many people come, plus thirty bucks or so, for two nights in hotels.

The second place is owned by Brian Wilson. That's a good enough reason for me. The reincarnated spirit of the genius that brought us the Beach Boys.

Rick, I got bored today in class and decided to buy a bar in Columbia. How many bars do y'all have? What's the best drink deal? How much do most students drop? Give me some logistics.

The second one looks nice but as Martin Lawerence would say "DAMN JENNA!". $450 a night is steep and I think it would suck to spend all that time driving just for three nights skiing. As for the security deposit, I might be able to help a little, depending on if my moron boss will ever figure out how to electronically transfer money into my bank account. Thank god for technology! And for the driving situation, I can't take my truck becasue it's a gas hog and splitting the cost between two people would probably melt my credit card. But, i'm more than willing to pretend like i'm responsible enough to not destroy your parents vehicle Sarah.

Anyways, hope to see you guys real soon. Tell Becky i've been waiting to spill beer all over her knew furniture and i'm not taking no for an answer!

Love,

Rick
