To refresh your memory, Eldora Ski Resort is offering us "Super-Six" passes which entitle the card holder to six lift tickets. The cards cost $99, which makes the cost of each lift ticket only $16.50!! The tickets are good on any day of the season and are non-transferable. If you haven't already replied to my earlier announcement, please e-mail me by 2:00 today (Friday, 8 December) to order your ticket. This offer is open to non-employees as well. Regarding A-Basin and Loveland tickets, we almost have enough interest to order discounted tickets from A-Basin. We will need quite a bit more interest before we can order from Loveland, however. So, if you are interested in purchasing tickets from either of these resorts, please see the EAC Web page for more information.
For more information, contact Megan Donnelly at 8936,
mdonnell@ucar.edu. Or see the web page at
EAC Web page.

THIS WEEK AT UCAR has a handy feature in that you can post your information multiple times, which is useful for announcing and reminding people about events, reporting the changing status of committees, and so on. Just remember: CHANGE THE TITLE when you post new announcements about your topic. Duplicate titles can actually hide new information. Updating the title not only helps people who scan the morning announcements in a hurry, but also makes updates distinctive from each other within the thicket of titles in the Previous Announcement section.
For more information, contact Jacque Marshall at 8616,
