Del Norte will be the next Salida. Mark my words. I was so close to moving to S town a decade ago, so glad I didn't.

Now in the last couple years have sights on palisade, but that will probably blow up before I get the sack to actually make the move.

Can't deal with the rico "culture", and villa grove is not a place to raise my chickens. I really am in a crux. I have a couple spots up near dino, but they don't check my boxes. Why can't we annex eastern Utah and give them the Kansas that we have? Even swap, they can breed there.

I don't even smoke weed, but I fucking hate the state of Utah. In many ways. It's like a vt/nh thing.

Open today, and it was dense but deep. Everything is skiing really nice.

I’m headed up again tomorrow. I get zero cell service so ping me by PM early if you wanna try and meet up. I also usually carry a walkie talkie, channel 1 subchannel 38.

Lol^ as a vanner travelling around the west it's amazing to see all types of cultures and how fucking wacked out places are. UT is a weird vibe. Weirdness everywhere. I don't care. It's amusing.

Well. Someone pick a date and let's ski
I'll just be w old flame next week. Going to be .. interesting..

Date can't be until Feb. Does it need to be a weekend? I like midweek better, but whatev.

Yep midweek ftw

16" yesterday 10" over nite. 3 lifts running due to wind. free refills after noon till they pulled the plug to shoot the pass at 2:30 I was pretty toasted by then any way. Base is now 60.

I'm game for a mag mini, I'm in Salida and have plenty of PTO so pretty easy to get out whenever. If someone else wants to herd cats and let me know what day to be there, I'm in.

Next Sunday the 28rh?

I can probably make that work.

I know shera was saying midweek but more ppl can probably make a weekend day?...

Mondays and Tuesdays usually work for me if we do a weekday

I can probably make any day of the week work, so long as I don't already have plans. The weekend of the 28th would be iffy for me, we're celebrating Teh Spousal Unit™s birthday that weekend, and she don't ski. I think several folks were saying they couldn't make something happen until February?

I'm wide open in feb. Beaver UT mini 2 29/29

I would vote for week day

Looks like you are the official designated herder of said cats. :fmicon:

Viva has an injury, can't ski til Feb.

I'm up for midweek, much less inclined for weekends.

Got my attention. Sunday/Monday/Tuesday is best for me. Could possibly make other weekdays work with notice.

Based in La Plata county so I’d spend a night or two in Salida.

I vote for Tuesdays, then I don't have to cancel any meetings.

I want in on the mini meetup to ski this horrible, terrible, small, crappy mountain that everyone should avoid.

this, I'm in if you drop your standards enough to let a franger in, weekday is fine for most part with notice.

Tue Feb 6 or 13. Let's nail it down ppl. I'll wake up early and do breakfast in the lot.

I'm out of town 2/6-2/13, but I won't be offended.

leaving on the 6th, how bout the 5th?

I’m gone 2/8-2/14, so also vote for earlier

Spectacular day today. Soft on soft, sunny, no worries about stumps and rocks. Saw a big slide on Burn Out/Outer Limits in the cat ski zone. Didn't see any tracks going in, and didn't hear any bombs so hopefully just a natural release.
My schedule is all over the place, but would do my best to make the mini.

Tuesday Feb 20th?

Don't wait for my reply, I don't care. Name the day and I'll show up if humanly possible.

You're human?

Tue Feb 20th party ppl. Let's commit to that date. Come hell or high water. Maybe we get to see if mtm and shera aren't ai....

I can make Feb 20, and I'll have been skiing again for a couple of weeks.

I should be able to make it for the 20th.

I just might be able to make the 20th putting It on the calendar.

So are we settled on the 20th then?

I probably won’t be able to make the 20th. End of Feb-1st week of March are busy for me. Don’t change it on my account though.

I'll pencil in the 20th of feb. tuesdays are usually good for me. haven't been to monarch in a few years

I'm out, I'll just be getting back from a trip. Have fun.
