Official thread: 3rd Annual Utah MINI Summit

[UTdave]

buzzy,

my suggestion schedule wise for lcc/bcc options:
fri - alta, as you said
sat - soli
sun - bird

the latter two work out better crowd wise
'course once the snow starts flying schedules go out the window anyway

I agree. in 2 minis I've attended we have yet to have a day at the Bird which means it's overdue. Maybe Saturday at Snowbasin.

[altachic]

I'll be posting names of those who are coming and some who are around 80.337659% sure they are coming.

It'll be on the first page.

Where were ya last year on Friday before the giveaway at GMD?? Probably Alta right??

I was all over the Bird with the likes of Frizzo, Baron, Mr. AG, Lumpy, Meats, AH, Bum Z and a whole bunch more.


Now that you say this, in my wallet currently is no cash, BUT I do have a 2 for 1 Adult "Tram and Chair" ticket from the Soul Purpose show.

THis could be good!!!! All Utards who have these, regardless of pass status, please bring them or send them to me or Altachic for others to get a deal on a pass. I have one, so I need a cohort to buy the other half price pass. Nice thing is they are good till the 23 of December. Perfect for the MINI.


Anyone, I mean ANYONE else who has these, please hold onto them. This will give our out of staters a discount and a significant one at that.

Saturday at the Bird is now sounding like a damn good idea. Thanks Dave and TGR!!!

So what day are we planning to hit Snowbasin? I was hoping to head there during our trip, but we're leaving Sunday morning. Maybe Wednesday or Thursday at the Basin for some eerily uncrowded skiing? I like the idea of SoliSunday simply because my dad and I can hit it Sunday the 12th. The Bird on Saturday is cool with me, but for the love of God, we need a day at Snowbasin, I've heard so much about the place. Or if not, I'm sure a couple of maggots wouldn't mind heading up and joining us. Either way, I'm super stoked for my trip and the MiniSummit. Just over 2 months now, I can feel it getting closer. Now all we need is about 5 or 6 feet of powder in Utah the week I'm there. [antijinx]

Oh, and Buzz, you forgot to include my dad on the list of people attending, or is the list only for registered maggots? A friend of mine and his dad will be out there too, both are super cool guys, so they may join the group several days too. Just thought I'd let ya know.

[huckslut]

just secured my job in the shop at the peruvian... so i will definately be there

I agree, thurday would be a good day for Basin. I gots to work, but others will be around. Just a thought.

Really, at this point it is all up in the air as we will make the decision based on snow quantity and quality. Alta is always the Friday ski place. That is a done deal. Got lots of flack for not doing Solisunday last year so I figured mix it up this year. Sat Bird because of deal. BUT, maybe everybody and their sister plans this day too there.

At this point I would really like to be in PC with the rest of the Utarded ones getting my tard on. Sitting here in shorts and no shirt ain't doing it for me. I want snow and cold.

Will edit dad, friend and friend's dad.

Huck, NICE!!!

[glademaster]

Will edit dad, friend and friend's dad.

First of all Buzz, you the man! This thing is gonna be amazing. Thanks for adding the people in for me, although the friend and friends dad should be under the 80.2348% sure column , no biggie though, it doesn't matter really. I've been trying to recruit the friend to register here, but so far no dice. All we can do now is pray for snow.

P.S. We still remember that we need to bring ya the beer.

[Buzzworthy]

Jayfrizzo or anyone else that is VERY patient, wanna skisuck with me on Friday at Alta?

This very well be the first day I am on skis for the second time in 9 years.

[Buzzworthy]

I would also like to revist the party on Friday after Alta. Please, by all means chime in.

Who is wanting to host this shindig?

Keg? 2? See the list of attedees (and maybes) on the first post done courtesy of your pal Altachic. Huge thanks to her. Looks like a solid 60+.

[glademaster]

I may be skiing with you Friday at Alta, Buzz. Or at least my dad prolly will, at least later in the day while I'm off tearin up the pow [antijinx] with the more rockstar-esque maggots. Even rocking fat skis it hard for him to ski hard for more than 4 or so hours now that he's gettin older. I have a feeling he'd be down with that. And we're both liking the idea of an apres-party Friday afternoon at Alta, so count us in fer sure.

Utah Mini=so so hot right now!

[Mountainman]

hmmm. just got this wild idea where i should come down there. although it would all be BC. i better start saving for gas.

[sandytheskier]

Yeah. You should come!

[altachic]

You know you wanna ski with us at Alta, no matter what you say.

[Mountainman]

I would just like to publicly thank Altachic for saying she would buy me lift tickets to Alta.

Thanks again!

[zion zig zag]

Come on Mountainman, you know you wanna hit up Basin, forget Alta. Just kidding, if I was in your situation I'd prolly ski Alta too. I just hope you guys will make a Basin day so I can ski with some of yous.

Believe me, I especially would like a day at Basin. Just tryin to mix it up from last year a bit. If the snow is there, so will some maggots.

Wednesday:Timpanogos
Thursday:Mirror Lake Highway

[Foggy_Goggles]

Me "I think I should go visit some of my client in SLC during 4Q"

Boss "OK, got any dates in mind"

Me "I was thinking 12/16 & 12/17"

Boss "sounds good to me"

ding.ding.ding.

Looks like I'll be there for the weekend and maybe 1/2 day Friday if I can transition from suit boy to dirt bag quick enough.

[Buzzworthy]

Working the same type of deal for Colorado, to see some resellers in March.

Nice Foggy, glad you are coming.

[Ubersheist]

Maybe... I know I suck pretty bad, but prolly not as bad as someone who's been off his game for 9 years...

Yippie! Stoke rising...

Ok, sucka, you just stepped over the line and now owe me a sixer of some good pale ale!!

The air is getting a bit a chill in the am, a very welcomed chill.

[Altaholic]

Have we determined a ski schedule yet? Because I wanna hit the basin w/ you guys, last year I could'nt do snowbasin because of busy days at the rustler. I'll be around for the alta/bird day no problem. If there are any determined basin day(s) I wanna pencil them in so i won't miss it.

[Lynx]

I need the same info as last year:

1. Where are you coming from?
2. What dates will you be here?
3. Do you need lodging and where is preferable?
4. Do you ski or board? (Thinking of Alta)
5. Are you going to bring a big snow storm with you??

1. eL Cottonwood
2. probably all of them, but i don't know, i might have to go east at some point between thanksgiving and new years see the fam. i also don't have a job shedule yet.....let alone a job....
3. proud to be a utard all season this time around.
4. ski
5. um......jinx...i mean antijinx. . . i mean jinx.....er....antijinx! antijinx!

i am down for solisunday, any day at basin, and if things go my way i will already have a pass for alta-bird or at least bird and be able to offer up two, count em, TWO, of the bird coupons to any eligible bachelor err skier.

Well, kinda, but there is no snow yet, so it really does not count yet, ya know?

Wed December 15 - I am working, others are straggling in, some will be gittin sum somewhere.

Thur Dec 16- I am working again, sounds like a good day for those that are here to hit Snowbasin

Fri Dec 17 - I am skiing Alta (to the best of my snowboarder ability), get beers early after getting worked at GMD, be Buzz by the time the give away at GMD at Alta, lots of stinky wet beer drinkin comraderie and free goodies, then we conveine to _______________ place for the MINI party. Still do not know who __________________ is yet, Boarderline and Altachic are battling it out.

Sat Dec 18 - Snowbird, I will be boarding with the boarding contingent (so far). I have two 2 for 1 tickets, Lynx has two, many others have them. May be some crowds on a Saturday, but half price is worth it, hell it is the Bird and is huge. I need half of one of my 2 coupons, so I have three more maggots I can get in half price.

Sun Dec 19- The great debate. Solisinday or Snowbasin???

I love both places. One is very close to my house, which is a nice plus for me . Flykdog will only be able to ski at Basin and is hoping on some of us to join him. GT40 and the Meats family and more usually hit Basin. BobMc will be playing tour guide at Solitude (may even see a Woodsy sighting on the slopes).

At this point, I am torn.

And all of this, besides LCC on Friday for sure, is dependent on the snowpack. If one mountain has way more than another........well, you can fugure out where people will go.

Best bet is to keep checking back to see what will happen once the snow flies.

Other attendees: Put up the schedule you plan to do and lets see who is where.

[cololi]

Friday: bc (condition dependant) in the a.m. Alta in the afternoon
Sat: Snowbird or bc tour (condition dependant and also dependant on being able to use a 2 for 1 ticket)
Sun: Solisunday

Working other days.
