[millet]

I can't promise I'm available but I can help coordinate.

Planned Date: March 31-April 1

Interested Rider List (forum name):
Millet* Confirmed
MitchK: out
RGZIP: out, Injured
FightingforAir* Confirmed
Zapmeister* Confirmed w/Friend
Manlig* Confirmed, I think w/Friends

There are a handful of new riders and Vancouver B.C. riders that I'm talking to. I hope one/more of them will also make it.

Mountain suggestion:
Crystal Mountain, WA
http://www.crystalmountainresort.com/

Back-up Mountain:
Stevens Pass (If more riders are from Northern Areas than Southern)

[MitchK]

I put my vote in for Feb, but it doesn't really matter to me.

And both Stevens and Crystal sound good to me.

[FightingForAir]

February/March would be tough for me since we are doing Shredfest in Tahoe again at the end of Feb.

Thus, January is my vote.

I put march, but any time should work for me.

[slow]

Darn, more temptations! :D

[FightingForAir]

Ooooohhhhhh yeah. You know you wanna.

Just do it.

It'll make you feel good.

[rgzip]

Darn, more temptations! :D

Whatever I can do to help

[zapmeister64]

Is there something on the internet where we could post our locations and see which mountain is centralized. Would be cool to see also if there is anyone living next to each other without realizing it.

I think this will help. You might need to add the ski resorts.

Anyone interested in MLK holiday weekend Jan 14-16? It seems pretty well spaced between Christmas and Shredfest holidays. Too early?

I have a family ski trip at White Pass that weekend.

[millet]

Shredfest- 2/24-2/29
March Weekends:

3/3: Too soon after SF? only 4 days between
3/10: Recommended
3/17: Recommended
3/24: Looks good but I'm unavailable for my anniversary. By all means go without me if this is the best weekend.
3/31: Looks good but getting late in the season

[MitchK]

Bumping this. Any of those weekends in march should be good for me.

And for mountains, both Crystal and Stevens sound good to me. I was up Stevens once last season with Tim and they had ! killer park, but we kinda skipped the rest of the mountain because it was really foggy if i remember correctly.

I'm good any weekend in March. Crystal would be my choice but any place is fine

[FightingForAir]

I should be able to make it in March.


Had the first day out of the season this last weekend at Mt. Hood. Was epic. Blue skies, great snow .... mmmm ... tasty.

Should get one more trip in this month, a couple in January and then a couple in February prior to Shredfest.

If anyone is game to meet up at some other time, let me know.

[millet]

Hello All,

Hope you are having a wonderful holiday. I've spoken with a couple of you, and I'd like to suggest we plan for March 31st and April 1st. What do you think?

[MitchK]

Sounds great to me. Any later and I wouldn't be able to commit due to school starting right around there, and I don't know exact dates.

[FightingForAir]

Works for me.

[rgzip]

Should be good for me also

[FightingForAir]

Gotta bump this thread. So who all is still in for sure?

[slow]

Proposed dates and location?

[millet]

Proposed dates and location?

Check out the first post. Last weekend in March, Crystal Mountain.

[rgzip]

I'm in for sure

[zapmeister64]

Like I told Tim, I'm starting a new job so I need to figure out how the vacation culture works at the place. I really want to do this NW meetup and would be really fun.

So I hate to say it, but I'm a maybe still. I know it's the most flakey answer of them all but it's the truth in this case.

[rgzip]

Just got back from the orthopedic doctor, my season is over (tore my calf in a ski accident) In a boot for 6-8 weeks.

Sorry guys

[millet]

Okay guys time to plan this out. Here's the updated list due to RG's unfortunate injury. This is a pretty small group so I will be reaching out to each of you to see if we'll be able to meet up. I have another handful of people I've pitched this too, but best case is likely that I'm able to bring along 1 new guy. FFA seems pretty committed and I've left the weekend open (31st-1st) assuming I don't sustain any more injuries in the next two weeks of riding. Anyone else care to comment?

Interested Rider List (forum name):

[millet]

Okay this is looking workable. We've got 5 (all of the above +Chris' friend Aaron) and I'm gonna try and get at least one friend to show up. More to come.

[Manlig]

Hopped on the forum for the first time in over a year and saw this NW meet. I was planning a trip to hit Mt. Hood that weekend but might just change my plans now. I'm down if you guys don't mind one more. Tim, I'm taking a group to Snoqualmie tomorrow, should be 4 of us on skiboards. Might be able to make the group a bit bigger if things work out.

[millet]

Hey Jason,

What a coincidence!!! We'd love to have you roll with us at the meet. It would be fun to catch up tomorrow but I've got some family commitments. I do plan to be there Sunday though, riding Central park with a buddy. Call me if you would like to ride together.

Yeah, dude, you should really do this event if you can swing it. I can see you getting along great with Chris and the whole crew. Bring your friends too!!!

[zapmeister64]

I know this is a long shot but to the 3 skiboarders I met on Mt Hood meadows today (I was snowboarding) this is the meet up I'm talking about.

I gave them cards and told them about the meet up and about the forums so hopefully this works.

[rgzip]

Crystal mountain has received almost 11 ft of snow since the first of march and it's snowing more this week. I Sure wish I could be joining you guys this coming weekend.

[Manlig]

Yeah, Washington has been blessed with pretty epic snow this season (for Washington standards of course) Can't wait to hit Crystal with you all!

Also- dates are March 31st and April 1st. Are people planning on staying up there overnight? Or are people doin' the drive twice?

[millet]

OVER 60% chance of snow TU-SU at Crystal!!!

I am planning stay at home because my wife works this weekend.

I was going to drive up each day with Mitch but he can't make it. So if anyone wants to meet up and carpool that would be awesome. Southcenter mall would be an easy meet-up spot, or any park and ride location. Please PM if interested.

Similar to other meets, I suggest we meet about 15 minutes before opening right off the main ticket selling booth.

I've got Chris' phone # and Jason I've got yours if you haven't changed it recently. PM me your contact info as needed.

Any other questions/concerns? Let me know. Get pumped, y'all.

[zapmeister64]

Aaron and I will be driving from his place in the Fremont district. I'm notsure if I can make the Sunday one cause I'll be taking the train up to Seattle. Tim, we can meet up maybe and carpool.
