2. What dates will you be here? I'll be here the whole time, looking to ski on the 17th and either 18th or 19th...but I'll be happy to party everynight arriving with booze in hand
3. Do you need lodging and where is preferable? Might be able to provide floor space, but I don't know where I'll be living at that time.
4. Do you ski or board? Ski (my boarding skills have yet to develop)
5. Are you going to bring a big snow storm with you?? I ask myself this everyday

Let me know if I can help B. Offer still stands, although I may be hitting a few floors myself. But I got floor gear for ya just in case. It would be cool to see you again and get some turns in with ya.

BTW, I have 2 planks in my garage waiting for some binders and some boots, both already worked out and will be getting some love asap, some gaper love, but love none the less.

Chubbs, 180 length!! Yep, they will now allow me at Alta.

[teledave]

Yep, they will now allow me at Alta.

and 10 characters.....

[backpack]

just posting to move me to the 100% column... I may only be at Basin if I get a pass again, but I'll be in Ogden at any rate

[Buzzworthy]

Anybody else wanna come out and play??

[glademaster]

The "friend and friend's dad" that are next to my name should be moved. The friend is registered as "ski" here, although he only posted once. They are in the 100% column too for the same dates as me. We must try to draw him out into our little community of the hopelessly addicted.

[mildbill.]

2. What dates will you be here? 10-18

BOOOOOOO!

A bit of redemption there.

[p-tex]

It's official - makin' the mini! Whoot - whoot!!

Two of us coming over as of now with possible third. Might have room for one more Denverite who needs a ride. Planning to leave Wednesday nite late. Return Sun afternoon.

[snowsprite]

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

[glademaster]

We rented an SUV through Alamo for the 8 day's we'll be there, and I worked out to around $300 bucks for the whole deal, which seems reasonable to me. I can check the axact price later today, but Alamo was the cheapest we found, so give them a look.

[snowsprite]

Wow! Would you believe I was getting quotes for $250 for the four days? Who did ya talk to and did you use a special coupon or anything. Will definitely check out Alamo.

Sprite

[glademaster]

Just checked Alamo for an SUV with no cupon codes or AAA stuff, and came back with $175 for the 4 days you said. If you call em or look for deals or cupons, you might be able to do better. We booked early, like 2 months ago, so that may have had something to do with it. Good luck.

[backpack]

Any update on the schedule? Maybe a poll?

I'm trying to figure out what days to be sure I don't work (I.E. Snowbasin and Alta) and need to know soon. I assume that Friday the 17th is Alta based on your party post, and from last year Snowbasin will be Sunday the 19th, but I want to be sure.

Thanks!

[Buzzworthy]

Friday Alta!

Sat Snowbird! (and Alta for Xover) I am working on getting more 2 for 1 passes. Anyone who went to Soul Purpose in SLC should have one, if you have a pass, pass on the savings to travelling maggots please.

Sun - Solisunday as most people leave that night, closer to airport, plus we have not hit Solitude at a MINI yet.

All other days are up to yall, find the best snow and go. Meet up with others, yada yada. Most come for the 3 day weekend anyway (like me and all other weekend warriors).


However, those that want to hit Basin can on Sunday as well. I am up in the air still on Sunday, as I am close to Basin, but I want to hit Solisunday.

Mixing it up a bit, can't have the same old schedule every year (except ALta on Friday, tradition.

[snowsprite]

Which is the place closest to Alta (and/or the Friday nite party) where I can take a sno-boarder? I have one of those w/ me, and not sure he will go on skis for a day (but we'll see if I can convince him).

Sprite

Edit: Heh..."one of those"

in response to both...snowbird. extra 5-10 min travel time from brighton/solitude.

edit: passes are cheaper at the last two.

[Ed]

1. Moving to SLC in early December
2. Plan to be in town the whole time
3. Not sure where I’m living yet, so can’t offer any space at this time. I’m willing to drive, have full sized truck with extended cab and bed cap, can comfortably seat six and all their gear.
4. Ski, would like to explore some back country in the cotton woods
5. Always
