Can all of SBOLTeam I make it?

[kirk]

thats one i'll drop everything to get to. that place is sick. can't wait to ride there again, especially if lots of others make it.

[bailey]

me and kevin can only drive down on friday afternoon, then we can stay until we have to leave the next tuesday

[kirk]

I was checkin out their site, and apparently you have to buy some stupid park pass to go in the park now.

[Greco]

the whole place is a park!

can you link me?

[sideburns]

Mt Creek site (http://www.mountaincreek.com/)
Park Pass Info (http://www.mountaincreek.com/parkpass.html)

I think it's only $5.

[Greco]

yeah, 5 bucks, you only need it for the main park and you get it on top of the hill next to the park. no worries.

that is one hell of a drive for me... 8 hours....
how about you guys? how far off is it?

I soooo want to go and I might be going....we'll see!

I only need to find someone to come down with me
cuz I'm not driving 8hres in the USA by myself.

[C.Langer]

That DaysInn seems to be booked and the next closest opening I found without looking too hard is at the "Mineral Spa".

[adamlynam]

lets get an RV again that was fucking sick.... sbol card???

haha

highest regards shit,
lynam

[Courtney]

Mt. Creek is 21 hours away from here.. you guys need to come to the midwest sometime.

[sideburns]

I also did a quick search on MSN yellow pages...
I found about 17 listings within 9 miles of there.

Motel / Hotel / Shack Listings (http://yellowpages.superpages.com/listings.jsp?SRC=msn&STYPE=D&PG=L&CB=1&R=D&C=&CID=00000509745&cbdt=Hotels&catID=23289&RR=10&AL=&RE=200+State+Rt+94&RT=Vernon&RS=NJ&RZ=&PS=45&search=Find+It)
I'm not sure how sketchy these places are. Anyone live near there that could take a quick look for others that need to crash?

I'm only 2hrs from there so I can do the drive each day if I can make it. I'd let people crash at my place, but I live in a closet :eek:

[Greco]

ethan

[Greco]

g

[C.Langer]

booked my palace at the DI ... thanks for the info G.

[bailey]

alex, me and kevin will probably have room, if you meet us im montreal we will probably be able to pick you up

[Greco]

bailey, who are you talking to?

and alex is coming with you guys?? sweet. how about billy?

[FLYhigh1013]

I know none of u but i'll be there to watch if my boards come

[Greco]

i added you to the list chris, even though you didn't pre order your boards through SBOL :D

i'm just kidding ya. don't worry about not knowing anyone. we're all friends at these events, it's totally chill and everyone supports everyone else. i guarantee you'll have fun.

[bailey]

im just telling alex that we have room and we will be going through montreal.. im not sure if we have 2 extra seats however

[Jeff Miles]

we r all such a cute family

[SBtx82]

Greco do u think it would be a good idea if some people stayed at my house i only live 40 minutes away and i have a big basement with a pool and ping pong table. I would have to talk to my mom but it could work. Just throwin up the idea.

[bailey]

it turns out that kevin cant come because of an exam on the following monday.. sooo i have to find a way there
im thinking either bus to alex's place and hitch a ride with him, or bus to anyones house that is willing to drive me.. im desperate! any ideas!!???

[Greco]

thanks mike i thought about that but figured it would be better to get the 3 hotel rooms since there will be so many people, plus the hotel is like 2 miles away. we could play it by ear, thanks.

[Greco]

don't worry man you'll be there. we'll figure something out. we have time.

[adamlynam]

bailey..

if you can get to burlington, vT i could prob drive you there i dont see why not...

lynam

[Kelli]

ok so its 90% sure that i can come and my dad said he wants to meet u all(be on ur best behavior please) so that he knows im safe for future events that will be bound to vcome up later in the season.

ok i cant find the walmart list, but is there a walmart neerby cuz if so we can pop are camper there for free and then i can bumb a shower at one of the rooms and then all i have to pay is lift ticket and food

[Greco]

dean had a camper overnight in the parking lot of mtn. creek (see pic) last season and they were cool with it. although ben worked his magic on them in the head office. ben, teach bailey all you know about that since he's the new film maker on the scene.

[jsinger]

Alex & Bailey,

I'll be driving down from central New Hampshire. If you can get to my house if you are driving, or to Lebanon, NH or someplace on the CT river or even Rutland, VT using bus or train, I can pick you up and if we are late getting back, you can stay at my place and then take a bus or train back if you don't have a car. I think there is still an Amtrak train from Montreal down the CT river that stops close to me.

Kelli,

Like Greco says, we had the RV in the parking lot and there was an electric hookup next to the lot so it was OK. There is a WalMart about 10 miles away as I recall.

[Davelynam]

yo guys. Because adam will be in vermont i wont have a ride.... is any one passing anywear near philly?


-dave

[SBtx82]

You gotta make it out dave it won't be the same without u.

-Mike

[Alex-TRS]

Alright Bailey we'll talk about it over msn soon....
i could go up to MTL and meet you at the bus station then
head out there!

I'll ask Billy if he wants to join in.

JSinger : Thanx man but I have a car so its all good.
we can still meet and do the rest of the trip together
thought if our schedules fit....

[FLYhigh1013]

allright i could cancel the order at skiboards.com but i ordered there before i knew bout ur website then someone on their forum told me bout u

i'll be there i don't kno many tricks but i can do a 360

[Greco]

no worries i was just giving you a hard time. i'm glad you know about us now. in the future remember where in s. new york so you get your stuff delivered overnight usually. same goes for people in connecticut, parts of PA and new york, delivery is usually next day.

g

[Kelli]

and for those in central md its like 2days

[Kelli]

ok has anyone checked into group rates for the lift tickets?
if so what would they cost for the three days?

that and i just spoke with creek they are going to let my family park the trailer on the overflow lot(greco when u make reservations let me know please)

[Greco]

when i make reservations for what? lodging? already done.

[Greco]

sideburns just reminded me of a good deal at creek. i already renewed mine from last year for $49 but new buy in is $59, still a great deal for 3 days or riding.

Greco - I wasn't sure if Mt Creek hooked you guys up for the event in Jan, but my friend sent me this link and thought I'd pass it along.
Triple Play (http://www.mountaincreek.com/triple_play.aspx) is $59.00 for 3 tickets and they're good for any days except Jan 15-17 (Martin Luther King weekend)
It's like getting a 3 for the price of 1. I also noticed that you have to buy before 12/24 (not sure) and they're non-refundable.
Feel free to post it.
-Mike

[Kelli]

are those all day from like 10 to 10? or how long are they for on those three days?

[sideburns]

Greco would know better than I would, but I think they're the All Day lift tickets - open to close. They're just not valid from Jan 15-17 because it's MLK's birthday holiday weekend. Otherwise, you can use it anytime.

[Greco]

yeah i think they are good for 10-10 or whatever times they are open each day. and yes, only that one weekend is it unusable.

g

[Kelli]

which days inn are u guys staying at there are three within 10 miles of creek

[Greco]

vernon/mcafee

[Kelli]

u said ur rooms are 112 a night?

[Greco]

i didn't say. but no they are less, ask for the simple super saver rate

[Davelynam]

aight guys it looks like kirk is gana be able to give me a ride to this event....i know ur all excited.....ive got some new tricks up my sleve so it will be a great time


-the other lynam

[SBtx82]

Your Crazy Dave

[UnWoRtHy]

I'd love nothing more than to make it out there to ride with you guys. I need to do some looking into it first, though. I need to see if I can get a day (or two) off of work...and if I can afford it more importantly. I'll let you know.

[Greco]

don't worry about lodging.... SBOL and Spruce got that covered.

G

[UnWoRtHy]

By that, Greco, do you mean that anyone who came along gets a place to crash no charge?

[Greco]

yup, as long as you call yourself a skiboarder. :D

[Kelli]

hmmn explain the term skiboarder i hope it includes people who are more on their faces then on rails. (thats me klutz of the year)

Yeah anyway ill be there early saturday morning through sunday.

[Greco]

includes all people who have skiboards, snowblades, skiblades, snowlerblades, etc.. strapped to their feet, regardless of skill level. oh yeah and if you use polls you can sleep in the bathtub.....

i'm just kidding. all are welcome and encouraged to come. i've been riding with this core group of guys for years now and i can guarantee they are the most cool, down to earth guys you'll ever meet. no need to feel intimidated at all. they will go out of their way to help you get better or learn any tricks you can think of. it's going to be an amazing weekend for skiboarding!

Please email me if you're coming so I can add you to the list.

G

[phillycore]

".oh yeah and if you use polls you can sleep in the bathtub....."


Isn't that where the keg is supposed to go??

damn right

[Kelli]

dang guess my dad will be in the tub

[Greco]

i thought your dad skis?

[Kelli]

there werent any technicalities to the poles, at least they werent stated:D

[Dylan]

Greco, what's the current headcount for Mt. Creek?

[Greco]

on the first page of this post is the entire list of riders who are coming. i've been updating it whenever anyone confirms.


g

[kirk]

that is a crap load of people... this ones gonna be HUGE

[Greco]

sure is kirk. that's why we've got 6 hotel rooms reserved!

g

[FLYhigh1013]

i don't need a room(live right there) but i might show up one day what day would be best

[Greco]

It depends on the weather. Everyone is coming for the whole weekend so both days would be good but some could leave early on sunday so I would say saturday is the day if I had to pick one.

G

[bailey]

what nights do we have the rooms for, g?

[Kelli]

g told me he has them for friday and sat night

[UnWoRtHy]

I just talked to my boss today about getting my vacation hours for those days. He said just to let him know the dates. So I'm definately down if I can get a couple questions answered. First...Rooms, regardless of how many people show, are going to be free? That's almost too good to be true! Second: When should I show? and Third: How are the conditions expected to be?

The whole conditions thing wouldn't really bear any of me deciding to go or not...Mostly will I be able to afford it. If I can, expect to see me there!

[Greco]

Tell your boss you'll see him Monday, jan 31st. :)

Yes the rooms are being picked up by SBOL and Spruce, no charge to riders. But bring a sleeping bag just incase but we got a bunch of rooms so it should be somewhat comfortable.

Plan on showing up friday, jan 28th, riding and then crashing at the hotel friday and saturday nights. So riding fri, sat & sun.

As for conditions that's up to mother nature. We just got a few inches last week that will help a lot. If its cold they will make snow, rain is the enemy.

I hope you can make it.

G

[Jonny W]

is there a park worth hitting with the lack of snow. like film worthy, or should i save my money for another trip more worthwhile?

[Greco]

jonny, this IS the event, everyone is going to be there. the conditions are only going to get better as the winter goes on so get your ass down here! :D

plus this isn't going to be an expensive trip at all. you got a ride?

now whister on the other hand.

[Jonny W]

i'm still trying to find my way down there from niagara falls, i'll take your word for it though greco, i'll be there.

and whitsler.......:D

[Greco]

cool.

you probably already have but talk to bailey and alex about rides.

also, jeff singer said he could bring anyone who could get a ride to his house down to creek. he lives in new hampshire.

let me know how it goes, we'll work it out.

g

[matthew]

ok i should be there i might have a friend or two along but as for whister im not sure if i can make it or not i think im going to start working nights to come up with the money

also where are we staying and where we meeting?

[Greco]

we're stayin' at the days in right down the road. meeting friday at the mountain in the main park.

[matthew]

sounds good

[fluxgame]

Still got a spot on the floor for this one Greco? I could use a break from the fellow skiboarder devoid existence I seem to lead around here... Do you have a group rate thing going for the weekend? Don't think I can make it down for riding Friday, but Sat/Sun sounds awesome. Also, if there's anyone in/around Central Mass who needs a ride or is driving and can give me a ride, that would be great. Hope to see you guys down there...

[Greco]

sure man, definitely. what's your first name and first letter of your last name?

no lift ticket deals because we'd have to buy them all up front and we've been burned by this in the past. we posted info about the triple play card awhile ago which is a great deal but no longer available. look into a creek card, that may give some discounts.

g

[fluxgame]

Dave H.

I can understand you not wanting to front money for a group. Are there enough people (15+) out there, though, that still need lift tickets that we could organize a pay up front kinda thing to get the group rate? It's $19/day cheaper that way... If not, I'll just tough it out.

Want me to bring my camera along to shoot the event? (nice Digital SLR, photo major, yadda, yadda, yadda)

[Greco]

the current list of people coming is on the first page of this post.
i'll call creek on monday and ask them for details on group tix. it might just require a $100 deposit.

bring whatever cameras you'd like, it's always good to have more "eyes" i know i'll have a new miniDV and bailey will be filming and i think a few others.
