    Convince me

    Convince me that:

    -despite taking two trips (for a total of 15 days skiing) out west this year, that it wouldn't be overzealous to take another.

    -it's ok to ask my boss for another two days off, even though I've taken off 11 in the past two months

    -I won't miss the money if I'm in grad school next year

    -I'd be insane to pass up a round trip plane ticket for $193

    -Reggaefest at Sugarloaf is worth missing


    Here's the deal; there's plenty of good skiing left, but my best days on the east coast this year are almost definitely behind me. I'd like to get back out to the steeps of Utah for a long weekend. Plane tickets are cheap, but I still need to worry about food, lodging, and transportation. This won't be a big deal if I end up getting a stipend for grad school, but it could be if I don't (I really wish I had this info right now). Additionally, using up all but a few hours of vacation time is fine if I quit work in a month or two, but if I don't, I might want it. I'm not really sure what I'm asking, but my ability to decide has been limited by a ridiculous week at work.

    I've been out twice already this year, once whistler for a week and CO for 6 days. Going to UT for 9 days next week. And I live in VA! Do it! Why wouldn't you?

    Just go. I am heading out west for my fourth trip this year, third back to Utah, the plane fares are so cheap. If you have the time and money to go, just go, there is nothing to think about. The east is winding down quickly unless we get another good storm cycle and Utah is heating up with tons of snow after a few week drought. Now is the perfect time, don't question it!!!!

    You only live once, do it. Look at it this way, if you don't go it will be in the back of your mind and later regret not going. If you go, do you really think you'll regret not staying and going to work for the 2-3 days. Work sucks, go skiing.

    My plane ticket for my 3rd trip to Tahoe is being booked tonight, this time next week I will be at the kirkwood insted of Sugarloaf. I'll let you know what you should have done when I get back

    If this is really in the back of your mind as a reason to stay in the east you are very foolish. Go get some and make the rest of us jealous with pics brah!
