Centennial

[friendlystore]

I just want to pass along some information here.

First, I'd like to remind everyone that the speed limit through Centennial is 30 miles per hour. I still see a lot of cars and rigs just blow through town without slowing down. Please remember that our children (and occasionally a loose pet) cross this highway daily, and it can be very dangerous when the road conditions are snow packed or icy.

Second, we had an incident today that just blows my mind. A trailer pulled up to fill their machines, and one of the guys mistakenly started putting diesel fuel into his sled. However, instead of coming in to talk with us about how we could fix the situation (we could have siphoned it back into our diesel tank), the next thing we know he's got his sled tipped over in the parking lot and dumped the fuel onto the ground. WTF??? My partner and another local jumped on them real quick. The local called the sheriff, and we now have to dispose of the mess (my partner made them shovel it all up - thankfully it snowed). Many people use this mountain year-round, and one gallon of gas can pollute around 70,000 gallons of water. There are so many beautiful lakes and streams in this area that are not polluted, and we'd like to keep it that way. Please, please don't do things like this!!

And finally, some good news. We have lowered our room rates this year to $55 a night. We are also offering a 10% discount to anyone who mentions Snowest when they make their reservation. We finally got a decent snow storm last night, and snow conditions are starting to look a lot better. Can't wait to see you all on the mountain!

WOW.....now there is an idiot!

Where was he from? Flatlander I suppose.

that is messed up...however, you can't just jump on the "its a flatlander" bandwagon...I get pretty tired of it. Everything east of wyoming is considered flatland in my book.... which puts me in that category. I've seen some peckerheads from CO do some stupid stuff as well.

That was pretty ignorant to do though....I hope he got the book thrown at him because as much BS as sledders are facing these days with land closures and pressures from envirowackos we are walking on thin ice and need to do our part....

I agree with all you said. The point was not where they're from (I do know, but no, I will not disclose), but that it was just a boneheaded thing to do. I'm not here to rat out anybody, just posted to point out the negative actions that could affect everyone who enjoys the sport.

 

[Qreiff]

I can't believe what I just read. Some people...............

hey Meat.......we are not all peckerheads (lol j/k)

Some of us actually care deeply for our sport AND our land whether it is in Colorado, Wyoming or Iowa.

Jen glad to hear the Blowies are finally getting some more snow!!

See ya soon.

what an idiot - I bet he wouldn't do that in his own driveway! He obviously has no respect for other people's property as well as the evironment. Kinda pisses a guy off a little

 

[Himark]

heck my sled gets better mileage on diesel!

I managed to get a pic of the guy parking in front of your diner last trip out...was this same guy? Seems like he is a bit light on intelligence.

 

[Meatman]

could be lack of oxygen..with an excessive intake of barley water....top it off with pizza from the lodge and a dip in the hot tub and it's lights out....work sucks

Tim, you and that damn camera!!LOL. You missed your calling, you'd have made a great papparazzi.

 

[coyoteman]

ha ha. tim. forgot all about that experience.
we were sitting there eating breakfast, my back too window, when all of a sudden, tims eyes went -----then BOOM!!!!

good thing those posts are burried deep.

Hey btw what's the gas prices at the friendly now I heard SML is charging $3.75 a gal wondering if I need to bring a can along.

 

[friendlystore]

Sabels - we are currently at $2.29 a gallon for premium, and depending on the cost when we fill up this week it could go lower than that. Diesel should go down also, but it's not snowmobile grade!

Tim - that pic is priceless. Thank goodness for those deeply buried, bright yellow posts, or we could have had a new entrance to our cafe. That truck was the same one parked on the wood pile for a few months last year, and I think many of you saw that picture posted in the bar...

I just want everyone to be safe and respectful (remodels with owners' approval only ).

Oh, and don't forget the discounted rooms!
