I'm thinking about 2nd weekend or last weekend of Feb.

Massanutten Resort, Va. seems to be the best in the area, but they are very very busy.
Liberty Mountain Resort (ski Liberty), Pa. is the closest to our area, easy to access.

From your area (Alexandria), Wisp is about 160 miles. Ski Liberty is about 90 miles.

I had a really bad experience on the slopes long time ago. Now I'm scared.

By the way, how does Sunday, February 24th sound to you all ?(snow date, Sat, March 1st). I think Liberty Mountain Resort seems to fit the bill, it's not too far at all either, (a little more than an hour from Md, hour and a half from Arlington).

They had a good package for party of 10 or more.

Boulder Ridge Party package. Guests of all ages are guaranteed a great time at a Boulder Ridge Snow Tubing Party! Parties feature a 2 hour tubing ticket, 1 hour party room reservation, Pizza Party meal, all paper products and set-up and clean up.

Hmm.... and if the roads are not too bad on the day (good weather, no snow/salt, etc.), we can arrange a mini MINI run, on the way to get there.
Catoctin mountain's back roads are always fun to drive.

Please come and join us, the more the better.

I'm waiting for the confirmation from the resort for the private room. I should be able to comfirm everything by this evening and will post the updated.
I believe there will be some of us here who will hit the slopes afterwards as well.

This will be a blast.
