Message
From Loon's Beth Wilkie Re: Lockers ! |
We are hoping that you
have purchased your new 2008/2009 New
England Pass and that you and your
family intend to renew your Seasonal
Locker Rental.
Our existing locker guests have the
opportunity to renew lockers at current
prices until April 30th,
2008.
When you renew your
locker by our April 30th
deadline, you secure your locker rental
for next season, and are able to store
your equipment in your current locker
during the summer season free of charge.
If you
decide not to renew, we ask that the
locker is cleared of all contents by
April 30th. Neglecting to
remove belongings will result in a $25
reoccurring monthly storage fee
beginning May 1st, 2008.
To renew your seasonal
locker rental simply sign and return a
2008/2009 Seasonal Locker Agreement with
payment to Loon via fax, US Mail or
email (locker renewals are not available
by phone):

Conditions:
The ski conditions at Loon
during the 2007-08
season
proved once again what a great job Loon's
snowmakers, groomers and lift operators do!
Even Mother Nature
helped out this year with record snowfalls at
Loon! (Right:
"Flying Fifties" member and Loon Snowmaker
"Jack D" along with all the other Loon
Snowmakers and Groomers made sure the snow
quality and ski surfaces were the very best
throughout the 2006-07 season. And so far
conditions in the 2007-08 season are even
better!) |
