The distance will keep people away for sure, as will the somewhat limited lodging options.

It’s not like crested butte is suddenly going to become the base of peak 8 on a Saturday.

CB needs the people and it’s not like pow days occur that frequently there anyhow [emoji846]

This definitely solidifies epic pass as the obvious decision for me. The aspen days on the IKON were tempting for me, but the unlimited options on IKON seriously lack compared to Epic.

20BBI? Fuck, I can't plan 3 months ahead, 2 years is a lifetime. So sure, I'm in, unless I'm not.

Would prefer to attend 19BBI.

We don't need a BBI thingamabob to throw a fucking CO mag summit.
Planning parties two years out is what women do.
Easy to get a Challenger lot party going any weekend in April. Show up with bacon, bourbon and beer, proceed to shredding the gnar and visiting the huts, then catch the bands jamming on the flatbed.
April 15th? Gives you plenty of time to clear your teeth cleaning appointments for the day.

Ha! Nobody warned me! 2006 :)
Was that you who gave it to me?
And Max fell into the bonfire waving around a flaming axe... that is one of my few memories from after dark as I tried to sleep it off! That and getting firewood from the party next door.

After a day of drinking and pushing dummies off of huge cliffs to their deaths... what a time. Back in the carefree days... i was singe, marshal wasn't yet a big time DPS /married/in UT, back before G4N and Max became doctors, baxter was still in highschool, and blurred was wild and crazy.

FKNA! How about the 14th, so us w/e warriors don't have to drive down the hill after?

I'm not 100% sure I can do that, but I think I can make it happen.

Good point - sure, 14th be good. It's on the family calendar.
I'm not OG and am naive to the "tradition" , but fuck it, there's enough MJ mags here. Round up!
