Hey, updates concerning our ski/snowboard trip @ Mt Washington!

I actually recieved a few responses from accomodations in Comox Valley area. The decision depends on how much we’re willing to pay, and how much we’re willing to drive after skiing/snowboarding. Also, being that i’m there mainly for the slopes, I’m probably just gonna go for the cheapest. So, please give your ideas, or else that’s what i’m gonna go with! XD  Oh, and also, since i still don’t have the final list of people attending, i can’t make reservations, so please make sure you notify me asap.
