Come join us for a fun movie night at Roadhouse Cinemas!!!

Avatar: Fire and Ash is the third film in the Avatar series, directed by James Cameron, and will be released in theaters on December 19, 2025. It follows the Sully family as they deal with grief and face a new, aggressive Na'vi tribe called the "Ash People," led by Varang (Oona Chaplin). The film stars Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, and Stephen Lang, and continues the story after the events of Avatar: The Way of Water.

The manager has been especially nice to our group and usually schedules a special time for us to accommodate our schedule so we can meet for Happy Hour specials and socializing before the movie. And not keep you out too late on a work/school night:-)

Plus, we will have reserved tables in the NEW Roadies lobby/bar too!!! You can still enter through the main doors and go through the secret passageway to the new side. Or you can enter from the north side of the plaza. They have a separate entrance. It's in the old Bed, Bath, and Beyond space. You are welcome to bring guests.

The adjustable recliners and food/drink service are why we choose the Roadhouse theater. And if you like popcorn...they have buttered, caramel, white cheddar, salt and vinegar, and jalapeno. It shows up in a big bowl, and you get 1 free refill:-).

Tickets are only $9/person for reserved seating. That covers the ticket, tax, and fee they charge. Please send that in as soon as you rsvp so we can get all of our seats together. The earlier you sign up, the better your seats too! If you have guests, their money will need to be sent in as well to secure your seats together.

Group tickets will be reserved/purchased for the show in advance. We have 3 full rows reserved! We will meet everyone before the show in the lobby bar at our group tables, and tickets will be passed out in the lobby.

The movie should have a start time between 7 and 8pm so we'll be in the lobby at 5:30pm for drinks, snacks, dinner, and socializing. We will have several tables reserved. If you show up before 6pm, beer, wine, margaritas, and some appetizers are discounted/ 1/2 off if ordered before 6pm. We will go into the theater 30 minutes before showtime.

Please email right away: affordablegrouptravel@gmail.com so you can send in your ticket money using Zelle, Venmo or Apple Pay. Or you can mail a check if you don't use those methods and haven't embraced electronic money technology yet:-).

Looking forward to seeing you soon. Thanks for joining us!

Robert and Erica

Note: all monies are non-refundable but you can sell or give away your ticket.

We have the condos reserved for 6 days so a long weekend is available, as well as the uncrowded weekdays. You can drive up for 3 nights for the weekend, add an extra day or 2, or go crazy and stay the entire 6 days.

THE SUNRISE APACHE ALPINE "roller' COASTER OPENED JULY 20, 2024. IT WILL BE OPEN YEAR ROUND SO CHECK IT OUT WHILE WE'RE UP IN THE MOUNTAINS!!!

So come on out and enjoy the snow, mountains, pine trees, jacuzzi, fireplace, fire pit, gym, game room, and new friends up in our very own White Mountains.

CYCLONE Peak should be open: new surface lift installed from Apache:-)

Pre-trip mixer: Tuesday January 27 at 6pm. Location to be announced to all confirmed travelers.

NOTE: Recruit a new member who joins us on the trip and receive $25 off your cost for each person you refer.

You'll have the option to make this a 3 or 4 night weekend, come just midweek, or stay as long as 5 nights with us. Get some extra days of snowsports in before the crowds come up for the weekend by joining us Tuesday through Friday.

This is a great time to head up to Pinetop, Greer, Sunrise Ski Park, and all those wonderful areas in the White Mountains. There is also a Tubing hill experience at the base of Sunrise. And a sledding hill nearby. We have our fingers crossed that Cross Country ski rentals will be offered this season. Waiting on the final answer on the business plan.

Let's go play!!!

I have rented some fantastic 2 and 3 bedroom condos in a fabulous resort filled with wonderful indoor amenities, gas fireplaces, pine trees, and two 15 person jacuzzis under the stars. The condos may be coed.

The rooms have either a King, queen, or 2 twin beds. There is a limited number of each option so sign up early. We will not have anyone on the Murphy beds this year.

We will have time to explore on foot, snowshoes, snowboard, or downhill skis.

Our resort in Pinetop is conveniently located near the Hondah Casino (where they have live music), dozens of restaurants, and right on the hwy to Sunrise and Greer.

COST per person:

$249 for 3 nights (double occupancy)

$50/night for each additional night (double occupancy)

SINGLE (if you don't have a roommate):

You will need to pay for the other half of the room if you or I do not find you a roommate (or you don't want to share).

DETAILS:

We will head up Tuesday February 3 and carpoolers will share travel expenses. If you are going up on different days, please let us know how many spaces you have for passengers, or if you need a ride.

Volunteer drivers will be needed and front wheel, all wheel, or 4 wheel drive are recommended. Passengers pay for the gas. Chains may be in order if you don't have 4WD or all-wheel drive. I will help with carpool planning on the other days too. If we can't find you a ride, you will need to drive yourself.

3 to 5 nights in the condo, all taxes, cleaning and fees are included. We will have full-size kitchens to prepare breakfast and snacks, you can eat lunch on the trail or the slopes, and I will make reservations for group dinners each night.

DEPOSIT: 50% of trip cost (including any extra for single occupancy) due right away to reserve your spot!

FINAL PAYMENT: Due December 15

If you don't have a roommate, I can help you find one (but I can't guarantee success).

Let's Go!!!
