Cash Jones sent me stories of his adventures from the early days of the Clubhouse and before - BC, you might say, Before Clubhouse. His tales made me wonder.
Were they a wild and raucous group — these engineers and their friends who transformed an old farmhouse into a ski house? Have their infectious passions infused our beloved lodge's walls, rooms, and air with intoxicating memories that we cannot help but breathe in? Will we unknowingly repeat the past in our stupors? Should we be concerned? Absolutely! Mostly, it’s all in good fun—but ya gotta be careful. For example, history tells us that riding back to the lodge from Stowe on a longboard skateboard is a ride unmatched by any carnival. That doesn't mean it’s a good idea. While we are at it, here are a few other things you should never do. Remember: you can always make a last-minute reservation at the Clubhouse.
1. After a long day of skiing, no matter how tempting it seems, never break into a deserted vacation home. But if you must, at least leave it in better shape than you found it—maybe fix some frozen pipes. And before you go, check every room. You don’t want to leave a lost soul behind.
2. Never drink home-brewed White Lightning.
