Mammoth Mini 08 - May 8 - May 11

[SchralphMacchio]

yeah, me too.

i still don't quite understand the whole deal.

so basically i was supposed to buy tix last night to get some discount, right?

if i didn't buy tix last night then i can't piggyback on somebody's BAF coupon, correct?

it was all so confusing that i opted to go out and drink Saigon beers and eat Vietnamese food, then watched the craptacular Southland Tales (DO NOT RENT THIS TURD), and then finished an equally craptacular book.

guess i should have queried more about the deal, forgone the beers, bad movie, and book, but i'll just Doris Day the whole thing (que sera sera, baby).

It was pretty confusing. I think it's too late to get tickets for Friday, but you can buy online today for Saturday and Sunday. And if you space again then you can only buy online for Sunday.

The card I think only needs to be presented, I am *assuming* with a passholder present ... when the ticket that was purchased in advance is picked up. phew.

More importantly, what was the beer? 33? I usually opt for the Singapore beer when I'm eating Vietnamese food - Tiger Lager!

[TurxSki]

How about some movies at camp FKNA?

Have Y'all seen the ski movie 666 made "back in the day"...Swarm?

Bummed that I spaced on buying my BAF ticket last night. Oh well.

What? Just the one ticket?
Doh! Back to the atm

Oh, the Platinum & the Pink are now in full effect, after a late night dyeing session

[dookeyXXX]

DHO!

negative points galore for fiznucked reading comprehension skillz.

i went back through the thread and found DG's link to the BAF section (which wasn't readily findable on Mammoth's main page).

it's starting to look like I'mma do Fri/Sat and then head back to Tahoe for closing at Squaw on Sunday.

so now the question is: who is riding at the resort on Saturday? and can i jack a piggyback off somebody's BAF coupon for that day?

man they make you jump through firey hoops just to save $20...

I will bring extra cards. No need for the pass holder to be present, you just need the card. Five people can get together and use one card, but I have extras anyways. I have been trying to give these away all year, but the conditions for use are a real pain in the ass.

I will be at chair 2 Friday AM. Silver Subaru, Bro 183s, most likely playing Muddy Waters, or other Blues on the stereo. I shouldn't be hard to find.

I plan to ski BC Saturday, and am up for what ever the consensus for the day is.

[SchralphMacchio]

It sounds like Va. Lakes may be the call for BC skiing on Saturday. So far it sounds like Tarkman, Spats, Me, ...?

I'm up for a tour on Saturday ... put me in the slow skinners group though =) It sounds like there are plenty of people who wanna get out there so it might just be ad hoc at Ft. FKNA? I'm planning on just figuring it all out when I get there.

I'm in the backcountry everyday/camping at FKNA group.

I'm driving down early Thursday mornin' so I can stop for a lap at Virginny Lakes or Tioga Pass on the way. Most likely ginny lakes.

I'll know the conditions at 1 of 'em.

I'm hoping to be at the campsite later afternoon (maybe 4-5ish?).

[dookeyXXX]

I have Lib-Tech's with Dukes, but no skins.

And I hike like a slug...

not sure where that puts me in ref to the BC.

[TurxSki]

I will bring extra cards.

If we get to you in time, myself, Cinders & Sinecure will need ticks for Friday. I think that's right
Saturday, Sinecure plans to be BCing, I think, so it'll just be Cinders & me that'll need a tick... If only 'cos it looks like there'll be less people inbound on Sat than in the BC
Then all 3 of us back on the piste Sunday. At least until Noon-ish

[hutash]

^^^I'll PM a cell #

[TurxSki]

Ok, how about tuning our 2-ways to the same channel??
Any suggestions? Would 21-11 do? Sinecure?

[Elle Be]

I just packed a box of what little Aegix inventory is leftover, to bring, if anyone wants any wholesale... Mostly M and L mens.

[P_McPoser]

I think the maggot channel is 5-13?

[P_McPoser]

Bodhi--go ahead and bring the projector--I'll put my brain to it on the plane and will have a true ghetto movie screen solution by the time I land in Reno.

Yes it is.

[dookeyXXX]

will have a true ghetto movie screen solution...

Toilet paper and duct tape.

[SchralphMacchio]

Toilet paper and duct tape.

bwahahaha, I'd pay to see a movie on that

[P_McPoser]

Toilet paper and duct tape.

I'll go online tomorrow at work during my lunch break and earn 50 degrees from U Michigan. We'll tape those together for a movie screen.

[Spats]

One more spot has opened up in our Bay Area carpool. Leaving tomorrow afternoon/evening from the East Bay, coming back Sunday. Plenty of safe parking at my place. PM if interested.

[Viva]

GOD DAMMIT I'M STILL AT WORK! FUCK THIS SHIT!

[Bodhi]

GOD DAMMIT I'M STILL AT WORK! FUCK THIS SHIT!

"Be calm, you are being very un-dude..."

Soon the fun will start my friend.

peace,

Done, it is packed. We can use my truck as a power source, I have one ac converter if anyone has another or a dual socket converter...my Xterra has 3 outlets in it.

[StroupSkier]

Already here, guess I'm camping solo tonight.

Anyone skiing tomorrow?

[asandygal]

Already here...

ah......... one more day to pay the bills... one more day.......

D, heading out about the same time you are tomorrow... be lookin' for you and Dude on the drive .

If any of you campers need a free shower/jacuzzi give me a buzz (or a PM between now and noon tomorrow for my #).

[Sinecure]

Re: Screen:

Who has one of THESE or has $200 and wants to go get us one at Wal-Mart? I wonder if they have them in stock, or if its an online only deal.




Oooooh. They even have a Mickey version:

[northbynorthwest]

I'm so bummed I am going to miss this.
