Note to Greg Sweetser, Executive Director of the Ski Maine Association:

Don't worry, we'll be there.

High gas prices won't keep us away.

Promise.

If we have to eat PBJs and macaroni and cheese all week long to save gas money, we'll do it. But come the weekend, we're skiing. We're coming, en masse. Fear not.

We want to ski. We will ski. High gas prices be damned.

Maybe, Greg, you could kindly arrange for some beer specials at the mountains for us. You know, as kind of a bonus for our unwavering commitment. Be awfully nice of you, dontcha think?

$1 pints???
