Kudos to the Blue Plate Restaurant Group. Via their Facebook page starting last night they advertised the following:
IT’S A SNOW DAY!!! Brave the Blizzard special from 11am to 4pm. Today, and at all of our restaurants, tell us you like us on facebook and get 50% off!!!
So I skied there for lunch and joined a few other snow shoe fans and cross country skiers. I can’t remember the last time I cross country skied in 2 feet of powder. Quite a workout to say the least.
Blue Door Pub also had something similar! If you arrived on skis, snow shoes or via sled, then your first beer was on the house! If it wasn’t 3 miles and I had snow shoes I would have been there!
I’m also seeing lots of “Snow Emergency” Extended Hours signs around town since so many businesses “lost” an important Saturday.
