Hi there,
Spring is here!!!
No fooling around today. I have Suzie yelling at me because I’m not putting enough emphasis on the Bar Harbor trip (now less than TWO MONTHS AWAY!!!!). OMG, how could I have missed it? Honestly, May 10 (about 10 days is the cutoff for a block of rooms, so let’s put some thought into this if you’re considering going. My wife told me I was considering going….ask yours!!!
Primetime’s Bar Harbor trip
Suzie likes the details to be all spelled out so here you go……….
8th Annual Bar Harbor Trip
Join fellow Prime Timers for biking, hiking, walking, shopping, touring …. and of course, drinking, eating, laughing and a fun time in Bar Harbor June 19, 20, 21, 22, 23. So much to do and see some of us have stayed three nights over the last few years and this year adding a fourth night. You can come for one, two,three or four nights.
It’s a gorgeous area and we have had lots of fun in prior years. Please let me know if you are interested (if yes or maybe) so I’ll have
an idea of how many rooms will be needed.

Rate: $70.00 per night. cancellation policy: prior to June 1, $10.00 after June 1 $70.00 (one night). My credit card is on the line so if there’s a change in plans please let me know ASAP.
Organizer Suzie: Any questions e-mail or call 207 712-6661. Look forward to hearing from you soon. Suzie
Directions: Once you get to Mt. Desert Island/ Bar Harbor, you will cross a bridge. Ahead, you will come to a fork in the road; there is a gas station there as well. Bear left at the fork and proceed approx. 6.5 miles. High Seas will be on your left.
Now that the important stuff is out of the way, let’s get to the little junk like have you signed up for the early buy season pass program. Gotta move, it shuts down TODAY April 30 (that’s even before the Bar Harbor trip the end of June)!
Early Buy Season Pass (ends soon)

Sunday River’s 2013-14 planned upgrades
SR plans to spend over $5 million on upgrades again this year. Much of the money will be spent on a new terrain park placed between Dream Maker and 3D (which will replace Barker’s Rocking Chair). I don’t know it that will change operation of lift 6 (NP quad) or not. Other enhancements are 200 more new snow guns generally to cover most of Jordan and Aurora, and a change to the Legends Restaurant (of questionable value if you ask me).

Century (100) Ski Day Club
Some of us got more days this year than others. To my knowledge we had at least one member accomplish 100 days of skiing. Rick Mitchell made his last run (day 100) on April 11th, not too long before the mountain closed for the season. Rick got his first run in at Barker on opening day.
Any others who can meet or top Rick this year? Send me a note.
Again, I’ve been admonished for not putting enough emphasis on the annual meeting weekend…….IT’S IN THE FREEKING FALL, and most of you aren’t working with calendars like Beyonce. Ghessh!
Annual Meeting Weekend
Save the Date!!!!!!! Sept. 20-22.
If you didn’t read this and don’t know what’s going on….call me and I’ll read it to you.
Have a great May!!~
