Duker,

I will already be down that way, skiing Alta (to the best of my ability) on Friday, doing the giveaway, party at Boarderlines. I tend to not be a good driver as I have stuff to do each day for this and have another assignment from overseas to get pics and write up a TR for a publication.

Plus if I was heading from home, home is in Clinton, south Ogden. Just work anymore in Logan.

Meet us down there for sure!!! Radios are key, channel 5-13 is the maggot channel. I will have mine on.

Has anyone gotten a good rate on a rental car? I was trying for an SUV but it seems a bit steep. I'm coming in 12/15 at 8:30 pm and leaving 12/19 at 8:00 a.m. So I can't really get the "weekend" rate which sux.

I was thinkin' maybe just get a shuttle from the airport to the hotel and then rent a car for Friday/Sat/Sunday (Thursday we can try to get public transport to the slopes). Anyone know how much airport shuttles cost and do you have to wait around a long time for one?

Sprite

Try Thrifty. Don't get an SUV - because then it won't snow.

[elesquiador]

I'm in for a couple days of the mini.
1. Where are you coming from? Denver, leaving to montana
2. What dates will you be here? it depends when it snows. about 3 days whenever the storms seem most likely
3. Do you need lodging and where is preferable? nope
4. Do you ski or board? ski
5. Are you going to bring a big snow storm with you?? sure

[Buster Highmen]

OK, kitchen pass acquired, ski boner straining, so I'm in. Likely 13-16 or so.

hey guys and gals..

soooooo... ive committed the cardinal sin and let a woman get in the way of the mini. shes really special, i promise. unfortunately, the only time she can get up to new york is the 17th and 18th.. so I'm probably out for the mini, but may try and extend my stay the weekend before to catch some of you around on monday/tuesday.

oh boy............woman in the way of skiing...........

[Telenater]

Looks like I may have to bail. I may be about to get financially bent over by a housing situation.

[Woodsy]

cant make it, in Aspen for a wedding

[Buzzworthy]

Fine, you all be that way!

More freshies for the rest of us!

[snorkeldeep]

alright, i think its called off. and all for the utah mini

just kidding.

about the mini.

looks like im going to try and come again.. more details when i can see if i can get my jetblue mileage back.

[Endlessseason]

Sounds like Snowsprite and Pete have convinced Crash that attending the Utah mini would be a good idea.
Anyone interested in doing the two-for-one Jet Blue thing from New York with Crash?

[crash55]

Had a great day at Killington yesterday with Sprite, Pete, Shuss and as an added bonus found out the mini is in two weeks!

Am planning to arrive on Thursday from Philly, but if someone else wants to fly out of NY, would consider flying Jet Blue to get the toofer. Would like to return on Monday.

Do need a bed, hopefully in Sandy.

Ski, so am stoked about Alta on Friday(sorry, Pete)

Have you noticed the cumulative snowfall in Philly so far?!

[Endlessseason]

Oh, so it's Crash55! I always thought it was simply Crash. Heh.

[crash55]

yeah, Crash was already taken. I'll let you figure out where the 55 came from

[snowsprite]

Yay! So glad to hear you decided to go. After trekking 7hrs + all the way from Philly to ski on the relatively limited terrain of Killington w/ the masses, I think you owe it to yourself to get some real goods very soon.

Looking forward to making turns (or rather straightlining powder!) w/ you again!

[wahama88]

I'm in for a couple days of the mini.
1. Where are you coming from? Denver/Fort Collins Colorado. Coming out with iskibc, but we still have 2 spots. We will be heading out Wednesday night and arriving Thursday morning. Will be heading out sometime on Saturday
2. What dates will you be here? 16-18
3. Do you need lodging and where is preferable? Need lodging, anyone out in in SLC still got room on the floor, both of us a scrounging for $$$$$
4. Do you ski or board? ski
5. Are you going to bring a big snow storm with you?? HELL YES

[Endlessseason]

Yeah, Sprite! Way to talk him into it. I'm looking forward to seeing you guys.

[InspectorGadget]

As noted in my crabs thread, I am planning on making my first-ever Summit appearance at Alta on Friday the 17th. Being without any kind of mad steeze or big air skills as I am, I'm hoping to hang onto some maggot's coattails.

[The AD]

A question for the Alta experts out there. My flight gets in (and it will be on time, dammit) Friday morning at 10:15. What would be the quickest way to get to Alta? Shuttle? Any suggestions on what shuttle company to use?

Then when I get to Alta I'll need to drop off my bags. I'm not staying at Alta, so any suggestions where to do check my bags for the day would be helpful. I'm staying with Mcwop, and he'll have a car, so I'm covered for getting to the hotel after skiing/GMD festivities.

Can't wait

The plan is for me to be gaping the groomers, if there are any, on skis. I plan to have my radio set to 5-13, the maggot channel. Provided I hear it this time, you could stash your bags in my already full car, but I think we can find room somewhere.

There is a SLIGHT possibility I will be at the Bird with a few other boarders too, still up in the air as my skis are not up and running yet. May need to borrow a pair, Lumpy???? If not, I will be on the board over at the Bird.

Someone has to have some room in a car.

I have not skied yet this year and it looks like Alta is the first day.

Or PM me for my cellie #. I doubt I will be too far from the bottom.

[glademaster]

Buzz, if the snow is good and I'm on the Spats, you could bum my PR's for the day. What size boot do you wear? If it gets ya at Alta that day, then I'll be happy to let ya borrow them.

[InspectorGadget]

AD - I'm torn between being a good maggot and picking you up at the airport and being at Alta early. If I were to be your personal chaffeur, you could leave your bags in my car for the day.


Hmmm, what to do. What toooo doooo.



Buzz - I can hook you up with a pair of skis for the day.

[The AD]

Hmmm, what to do. What toooo doooo.

I certainly understand your dilemma. Obviously I wouldn't turn down a personal chauffeur, but I'll be fine without one. Keep in mind my flight could be late, and the odds of this only increase if it's a powder day!

If I were you, I'd say screw me
