Summit Flame Thread

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

I'm going to start a poll asking what additional polls people want to have.

I try to make reservations as FAR in advance as possible, and speaking for myself - I wouldn't be real comfortable waiting that long to begin planning...

Not in Jackson. I've never had a problem getting a room with 48hrs notice. I could see it beeing a problem at WB, but not in Wyo. I rarely plan a vaca until the snow starts piling up. Where am I going this year? Wherever its snowing.

Todd & Dirk: " Welcome to Jackson, Fred"
Frozen: "Thanks, how many people do you think the office could sleep for a week in February?"

Hmmmmm...San Juans - makes me think we could have a Coloraggot slugfest as a sideline activity. (sorry, SC, I just had to say it)

[Cosmic Bandito]

I wonder if we could rent out the whole of Hostel X?

[bagtagley]

Let's have a poll to see if the first 2 polls were valid. Assuming they weren't, we can then have a poll to determine the format for the newest poll on the location of the Summit. We can use the results from that poll to poll people and see if they're happy with the most recent poll format results. Then we can poll for the 2005 Summit location...again. Then, we can have poll on a better method of determing things than polls.

Finally, we can have a poll to determine if it ever snows in Colorado.

We could likely get the X if we booked now.

There's been a summit in Whistler, but not in Jackson, correct? So what's the big controversy?

Nope, no Summit at W/B. There was one in central/eastern BC though.

Just a thought re: timing...if the Utah mini is generally in Feb, and Suit says the earlier the better...maybe a January date? Or March like the Tahoe summit 04.

For the love of snow - Valentines Day Massacreee at Jackson.

Or possibly do The Summit in early Feb, and push UT to 1st-mid March? All of those times are pretty much just as powder prolifierous for UT.

I'm up to my $0.04 now.

And Splat, please not over V-Day, I'd like to get laid again before June afterwards.

[Big E]

This is beginning to sound like a lot of the meetings I end up at.

JH has won twice I think, the sugar-daddy's of our new cyber-home is based there, geez, we can do W/B the following year, it ain't going anywhere (actually, side note, weren't we doing the 2010 Summit in W/B to coincide w/ the Olympics? )

Now somebody step up and organize this sucka. You'll get lots of help, but organizationally-impaired maggots should NOT volunteer.

[CantDog]

how many folks attended this past summit?

[Rusty Nails]

Who should organize?

Preference for a local, but local base is not required.

Others:
Iceman -- a great excuse to the wife about why you MUST be there

Odin: -- yer gonna be traveling the west during that period, right? Why not play hostee?

Bozeman maggots? -- It's not too far away for somewhat local coordination

KS -- if you do something like this for a living anyway, what's a little extra work -- you won't have to buy a beer all week...


It's really more or less organized chaos anyway, so if you step up to the plate, you can get creative with what you plan. Good luck to whoever decides to contribute in putting together the 4th Annual!

[iceman]

I already gave Frozen the job, he just doesn't know it yet.

[snowsprite]

I'll help out w/ the web site (whether I can go or not)!

Innominatus might let us pop it on his server again.

Jackson is definitely better in early Feb or late Jan (late enough to have good coverage). Having lived there the freeze-thaw cycle can kill most of the east and south facing aspects accessed from the village.

Move the Utah mini to March 1st ish and then do Jackson early Feb/late Jan.

[Tippster]

Bummer.

I was hoping for a scheduling repeat of last year, with the Mini in early Feb. and Maxi in March...

I have my timeshare in LCC the week of Feb. 8th. I guess I'll just look for Frizzo in the 'Bird's park...

That's what I am talking about!


I will definitely help organize, but I do not want to go it alone. In fact, as "organizer" my first task would be to appoint Frozenwater as our "on the ground" coordinator - there, I just managed the process

We'll make this sucker work, and I will be on the organizing committee. Jiffy will chair the committee, and Frozen will head the logistics subcommittee. Now my head hurts.

[Buzzworthy]

One more reason for Jackson:

[frozenwater]

wowa...just read this thing.

Guys, I probably will have no problem being the main go to guy for this, with the help of those who have already offered.

My only fear is that my immediate future is pretty busy, moving - finishing old job, starting new job, finding a place to live ---little things.

I also take new jobs expecting to put in insane amounts of hours to catch up. I don't know what to expect at TGR yet really. I'm not sure if I would even be able to get out of work to ski during the summit.

Now, having told you my fears - if you cyber geeks can accept my limitations, and if I have Karl Stall as a right hand man, sprite doing the web, and others helping out where needed....

GULP

then I accept, I'll organize the hell out of this thing.

Also if I am going to do this, it is going to be in Jackson Hole - and probably should be in early Feb as per "the suits" recomendation.

GAME ON!

JH in Feb
Whistler in April

Because then I couldn't go to either.

Most college and grad-school types will have their spring break in March sometime, but that's probably a minority of potential attendees.

Screw you, old men and high school students!

MINIONS GOIN' WILD IN 2005!

And yes, I will show you my tits.

I support his opinions, Feb and Apr are not options for anyone in school. I think this is a fairly large group...

[CantDog]

I third the above opinions. If not, you guys can suck it and APK, crash, and I will make our own summit, and it will be much cooler. and you naysayers cant come.
