Mark your calendar for the Avalanche Jam

OK, Colorado Maggots, its time to mark your calendars. Call and email your fellow Maggots and let them know about the Avalanche Jam! :cool: This is "the party of the year," for the Colorado backcountry skiing/boarding community. You do not want to miss this one...... :eek: Are you listening Shera? ;)

The forth annual Avalanche Jam, hosted by Backcoutry Access (BCA) will take place from 5 to 10 pm on Friday, September 16 outside the American Mountaineering Center in Golden, Colorado. The Avalanche Jam is a fundraiser for the Colorado Avalanche Information Center (CAIC). :cool:

This year's headlining band, Damage Done , is a popular Colorado rock band that features musicians from local outdoor retailer Neptune Mountaineering. :cool: In addition to the music, the event will include dinner by Trappeda's Gourmet Cafe, beer from New Belgium Brewery, an outdoor industry demo village, a silent auction and door prizes. Donors to the silent auction include BCA, A-Basin, Arc'teryx, Marmot, Patagonia, MSR and Black Diamond -- and the list is growing daily.

Tickets are $30 in advance and $35 at the door. They can be purchased in advance at your local front range outdoor retailer or by calling BCA at 303.417-1345.

We want a big turn out of Maggots this year. :biggrin: Buy your tickets early! This year Shera you better show-up! ;)

Cheers,
Halsted Morris

Well, if you insist. And I heard there was a tent full of free beer.

Should I wear patchouli? :D

How does this silent auction thing work anyway? I've never done it. Didn't Dave get a Loveland pass there for cheap a couple of years ago?

You get to bid on stuff. Silently. In an auction format.

FOBP will be there!

SheRa,

"Patchouli" dress is not required. :rolleyes2

As for the silent auction, you put your bid on the auction sheet, and as the evening goes by you check your bid and see if you want to raise your bid. When the bidding closes, the last bid is the winning bid (and that's how much the "winner" has to pay). Sometimes people have come off with really good deals. :biggrin: And all the money for the item goes to the CAIC, since who ever donated the item did so for free.

See you there..... ;)

Cheers,
Halsted
PS: Cash, checks and credit cards are excepted at the silent auction. But, only cash or checks at the entry gates. You'll save $5, if you order your tickets in advance.....

I will entertain the thought of going, but I am not a socialite, so I won't actually go. :)

Ok, we're getting closer to the Avalanche Jam. :biggrin: You can check out the CAIC website for more information on buying tickets. http://geosurvey.state.co.us/avalanche

Buy your tickets early and save $5 :wink:

I have a question for the TGR Maggots. Would you like us to put up a "Maggots Meeting Spot," sign? :eek: It would make it a lot easier for everyone to meet up. What do you think of that idea?

Comments about the meeting sign idea?

The meeting sign might be kind of difficult since not everyone will arrive at the same time. I know most who are going, so it might better for newbies.

Howsabout if I kick you in the head if you don't go. I need my retinue of tall douches. Marshall! Where's Marshall? Dave will be there. And Aerie. I am detecting a lot of reticence from my significant other. Mebbe he's skeered to be seen with me in public. :fm:

I'm pretty sure Summit is going and the last time we talked about it he was in charge of coordinating the summit county contingent.

I am not in favor of standing under a sign unless it says "Hot babes over here" or something to that effect. We all know each other pretty well. Just wear your helmet.

TeleHoar is Aerie's friend. Maybe we can all just meet at my house at like 5:00 or something and sort out the cars from there. As for being dragged out of the county, just think how much more beer you can drink at lower elevation. ;)

Somebody call Marshal.

Everybody that reads that avy report EVERY SINGLE DAY might consider attending. We rely on it so heavily and this is our chance to give back a little.

Avy Jam info

Phish and Z, it is obvious that the two of you should come to this party and then go carousing. You'll never get laid showing up early... :D

"Complimentary beverages from the New Belgium Brewery"

So does this mean free beer all night?
