The Seattle Area Club is happy to invite you to attend the Chevrolet Familyfest at Mission Ridge Ski Area in Wenatchee, Washington, this Saturday, March 8, 2003.
Familyfest is a program that is run concurrently with the Ski Chevy promotion (now over for 2003) at major ski areas across the United States. There will be representatives from General Motors, the latest Chevrolet vehicles, games and fun for all, and FREE stuff. The east coast folks had 38 show up at Camelback and the word got all the way back to GM Detroit on the club presence. You don't have to like or even want to ski to attend, you just need to have an Avalanche. Familyfest and club events are very family and children family. Bring the kids, bring a Thermos of hot chocolate and a sled because the weather man is saying there will be a lot of opportunities.

These times are estimates and are padded due to expected poor pass conditions over Stevens Pass. The ETA at Red Robin in Wenatchee will be between 12:00 Noon and 1:00 PM depending on these conditions. West bound Avalanches shouldn't have serious weather problems.
If you ski or snowboard this weekend is likely to be the best for skiing so far this year. Mission Ridge is largely comprised of intermediate difficulty terrain that requires some technical skill. They have rental equipment AND child care for those with children. The mountain is open from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM and if you stay overnight, Sunday is going to be a great opportunity to hit the slopes with a good amount of fresh powder on the ground.

)But are you going to meet up with everyone in Monroe or try to meet up with the group in Leavenworth (or Wenatchee)? Monroe would cause you to back track a bit wouldn't it? (I'm assuming you come up through Eastern WA.) Not that driving over the pass a couple of times is a bad thing, but with gas prices and everything now days! 
so give the times and where and I will meet up where ever you guys meet 
Also I think I am just going to meet you guys in Leavenworth, WA So I don't have to go over Snowquami (sorry for miss spelling) or stephens Pass (again sorry for miss spelling) so I will see you guys tomarrow in Leavenworth
