Thanks for the valuable info Horton! We haven't even started taking money and folks are already trying to figure out how they can pay less 'cause they "will be vacationing, working, parenting, etc..." We're looking to make things as simple and concrete as possible, so there's no room for headaches. That's why we really want to hear what systems other lakes have used and try to do it correctly from the get-go. "Can Ballers ski anytime? That is also important." The fella' who owns the lake (Matt) is pretty laid back and wants to develop a cool scene which includes inviting folks with more experience to ski with us - possibly putting them up in the historical Sacajawea Inn (incredible steaks), take 'em to Yellowstone, and generally show 'em a good time. I don't have the authority to greenlight guests, but if you are skiing into 38 off and shorter Matt will probably want you there. Heck, I've never heard Matt discourage anyone from coming out, but this year he's really trying to figure out how to organize the schedule so everything runs slick with no hassles and no hurt feelings. I believe he's willing to allow non-members to ski anytime, but not behind the club boat - if this proves to be true I'm more than happy to give folks pulls behind my '93 Stars & Stripes with Stargazer.  http://i632.photobucket.com/albums/uu45/jipster43/DSCN4765.jpg JP :)
