Silverton Summit 3/29/2007 ++

Conclusions:
0) Thursday 3/29/2007 was the day chosen to ski Silverton.

1) A special reduced group rate is available for that day by calling Silverton Mountain @ (970) 387-5706. You will need a password for the reduced rate. Please PM me for the password.

2) A number of people won't be able to make it that Thursday. I am willing to front for organizing another day that weekend. Please post in this thread if you folks want me to try to organize another day that weekend and I'll see what I can do (nudge nudge, wink wink).

3) Conditions permitting, bonus activities will be available.

Hookers and blow... FOR EVERYONE?!!! :D :D :D

Sweet. I'm super stoked for some Silverton action. :)

Bump the simplicity.

That's like, MY FREAKIN VACATION!!!!!! PM sent!!!!

I have a feeling I'll be needing it round El Nino time here in the PNW!!!!

I sense a big road trip next spring. Like : Alta>Telluride>SanJuan Powder Cats>Silverton?

waiting for a pm from buster with the password, unless someone wants to just post it in this thread before I can book for Thursday....

I have tentatively reserved a road accessible super pimp hut on Red Mountain Pass for Wednesday night, where a few of my buddies from t-ride, who want to ski Silverton on Thursday and I are going to stay. Hereby, all mags are officially invited to stay there as well, taking care of sleeping accomodations for the evening. The hut has beds for 14, a few couches, and a grip of floor space. If everyone stayed there, I can't imagine the cost would exceed 20 buck per person for the night(might be even cheaper) and it is so much pimper than any of the shitty hotels in Silverton. There is no doper place to party like a rockstar before shreding the gnar...

As well, I have tentatively reserved a hut (or should I say luxury palace) off the back of Telluride for Friday night, the 30th. This is the nicest hut I have ever seen in Colorado(sauna, geode inlayed soaking tub, beds for probably 16 and mad couch and floor space, all hand hewn from on site materials, full kitchen and bathrooms...) It is situated around some amazing, gnarly backcountry and has a 20' old mining tressle stepdown gap out the front door... sled/keg/skin accessible only.

Let me know how much interest there is from you cats about getting in on either/both of these hotspots so I can plan accordingly...

I also would be happy to show people the goods in T-ride/red mtn pass/ silverton as those are my old stomping grounds...

STOKED...

i'm interested. pm sent

Since they're only open Thursday through Sunday it seems logical that we hit it on Thursday. Like resetting the pinball machine.

I told SM that the password would only come from me. I've ask that the maggots PM me for it and not pass it on.

If you're going to pass it on, at least tell me to fuck off so that SM knows what's going on, huh?

no unauthorized password passing on this end, don't blow a gasket big guy...

also, having lived in Telluride, I am sure that I can get a fairly resonable price on place for mags to stay on Thursday and Saturday nights if you guys want me to work on that. MInd you, it will be full Spring Break swing down there, so nothing is going to be cheap, but I can call in a favor from some realtor buddies and get the best deal possible... let me know.

Sorry, didn't mean to convey my gaskets were blowing, leaky though some of them may be. It just seemed like an opportune time to discourage the pword from being posted.

I'd like to slice over to T'ride that weekend too and will be in touch....

Yow, lots of activity today, excellente. CO crew reprezent. We should have a ripping crew...

bump simple...

bizzump....

Reidhresko, I'm interested in the Yurt lodging and will have a sled to shuttle kegs.

oh my, its no yurt, good man... having a sled is key as the skin would be around 6 miles, though there should be a few others up there as well. as motivation, I have included a few pics of both reserved accomodations. if you don't come, well, then you suck:tongue:

a few pics of the pre-silverton party staging grounds...

exactly...

in the picture below, the yellow arrow points to the basin where the luxury palace is located. the red arrows indicate entrances to routes normally skied near the cabin, and the orange lines in the back right point out the san bernardo chutes, another gem of the san juans...

Pimp crib!

I spoke with the folks at SJpowdercats and am wondering who wants in on a cat for the Tuesday and Wednesday, or Monday Tuesday before the 29th at silverton?

We've got 3-4 so far. Ten and we get that discount.

I've emailed the Bril's and will confirm with them today or tomorrow.

Please PM me if you want in on the snowcat.

I am going to pass on the snowcat skiing to ski around t-ride instead, but have been before and can recommend it. good luck...

What would the per person cost be on a night in that Palmyra Palace? Does the $20 assumption require 14 people?

I am confirmed at Silverton for the 29th, and also interested in one or maybe both of those stellar looking lodging options...will PM you later this week.

I'll be there on the 29th and would be interested in at least the first night's lodging on Red Mtn Pass. I will pm you once I get some shit squared away.

it's pretty taxed. about 450 for the night... sounds crazy expensive, but i assure you between folks I know in T-ride, steamboat, breck and you guys off the boards, finding 15 folks (which would make it 30 for the night) will not be a problem. and i imagine we can find more and the price drops below that....

Reidhresko, I'm down. PM sending commencing... now.
