debauchery factor to drop big-time

looks like flask sales to rise prior to event

Just read the book that's being slowly written on this over at kzone.
Interested in which party initiated this policy.
Funny thing is, this may have been the one, single time I spent a day at that mountain this season. Not anymore.

**steve** · 03-10-2008, 10:01 AM

wow. just, wow.

initial "wild guess" impression: vermont hasn't passed any new laws, this is powdr deciding to initiate a new policy and using the state as a scapegoat. ask the police to come limit liquor and they'll gladly come, otherwise they were leaving it alone.

could be completely wrong about that. But the underlying attitude would be consistent with their other actions.

damn, woulda been sweet to see the smithereens too, i've always been a big fan

**The Dad** · 03-10-2008, 10:57 AM

Smithereens are, without question, one of the best live bands ever. [/thrunt]

lame, fucking lame. Well, hopefully the weather will be decent. See you at the starting gate.

My first taste of the BMMC was last year and I have been yearning for more.

Oh well.

Maybe a fatal accident on the way home would leave the corporation liable and the new owners don't want that on their plate. I don't really know, I'm just talking out my ass and I'm not thrilled about the crackdown. I have to admit, though, to enjoying a number of these events without ever having brought my own beer in. If it's a sunny spring day, you'll all be there.

How are they going to know if the jello shots people bring in are just jello or not? Tasting committee? They better have back up staff and cops b/c they're going to be hammered after tasting the jello shots of the first 200 cars or so.

Anyway, I'm not there for a drunkening...usually just to ski and bop around saying hi to everyone. I do like me a few jello shots though.

thanks alot VT !
you talk about a lower drinking age and cancel the best ski party on the east coast????
I was there last year, got there as BOC finished their set. Didn't see ANY problems with drunks, the trash clean up was amazing and we were some of the last to leave in the dark.
BMMC without a giant party ????? it's just wrong

maybe K thinks they can wrangle big $$$ by setting up a huge beer garden
