2011/2012 Canadian Rockies Roll Call and StokeThread...

[Westslope]

Soooo, regret not checking this thread for a couple days...

I know I'm still JONG material around here but I would completely be down for the two day. Even checked with the wife and she thought it sounded awesome . Sched is wide open so I can't see anything coming up.

If you can see it in your hearts to let my JONG ass in I am down.

[Fat Mike]

The 1 day option is for the Saturday...let me know if you want in on the 2 day.

Ok, well put me as an "out" I guess. Its sounding like I'll be at KH that weekend, but for a buddy's bday/last weekend of freedom before he has his first baby. It'd be kind of a douche move to ditch him on what could be his last two days of skiing this year. If someone on the 2-day thing bails and you want a spot filled on the friday (to keep costs down), I'd be happy to drive out a day early.

Worst case we I can meet you guys for a pint or two apres and hear about all the awesomeness I missed out on...

[Eldo]

[That was Pontus]

[Boonshackle]

[CSG]

There's plenty of snow out there. Surely I'm not the only person who's noticed?









Well, adequate enough for my needs, anyways.

[2stix]

So my non mag bud (T2C u know him, Rob) is in for the 2 day, but will wait for mags first if he needs to, but put him down as a committed extra/back up.

[Eldo]

Pretty sure any maggots who might be interested would have seen this thread by now and had a chance to respond. So I say count your buddy in, and let any stragglers go on the waiting list.

Besides, with a dozen people someone is bound to cancel. I'm trying find out myself when my Strata Council meeting is, as I know it's usually a Saturday in January, and hoping it's not the 21st.

T2C is doing the organizing, so I defer to his decision as to whether we should wait for more maggs.

[the_teo]

Hmm..

so dates where in 20th of Jan?

I want to do the 2 day if it's still available.

Hey Rob quite lurking and post up!! Sentinel and I were talking about this in the car and he mentioned that it was Rob you were refering to. He's good company > tell him he's on the list.

20th and 21st. Sorry Braap802 I don't want to keep bumping you but at this point to keep costs as low as possible i'm trying to focus on people that are in on the 2 day. I'll leave your name up there and see if some thing can work out. Keep posting your names up if you would be in to replace any one that flakes out. If it's just a couple names left over then perhaps...... At this point if your name is on the list you have mentioned that you are in. It looks like there will probably not be a 3rd coach in order to take a 3rd group and at this point it seems interest has fizzled at the current numbers anyways.

Will post up payment due date soon, will probably be in the new year once the holiday spending spree is done with which gives anyone a chance to get a post x-mas check if need be, however we need to give Gripen a good lead time for monetary commitment, and that way you / we can find some one to take over your spot if you have no choice but to bail. Still have to hammer that out with Gripen. Please keep in mind that once you are signed up and paid in, if you drop out without a replacement it will effect the payment of every one else in the group and all it would take is 3 people to bail to put 4 more over the max payment threshold which could potentially crumble the whole deal.

Also note that everyone is grouped in to 2 groups, this was just for my own tracking. It will be totally up to the coaches as to who they want to put in each group if they want to make changes for whatever reason.

Will figure out if i'm staying home or not and if so then will have a spot to crash in Banff for 1 or 2...will know a few days before.

This is going to be a fucking blast.

Truth^^ both times! Stoked!

any B&B ideas for golden? skibee and I might stay in golden and make a dirty weekend out of it...

also can any ticket deals be done? I think that most pass holders get $25 or 25% off with another season pass, but other options are good.

[mntlion]

PSA (but yes, I get a kickback)

http://www.canadiancartel.com/?ref_id=518


Canadian Cartel has joined forces with DealTicker.com to bring you an amazing coupon deal $25 for $50 credit on the site. Add that to the 50-70% off on your favorite upcoming brands...

looks like POW gloves are coming in a few weeks again. so spend $25 now, and get $50 in credit. That will buy you some gloves that are worth $100.. seems like a deal to me

I stayed here many years ago and it was nice... and it's right downtown so if you want to go out and drink etc. you're right there...

http://www.countrycomfortbandb.com/

And I stayed here in the summer and the place is newish, really nice, has a hot tub, and the owner/operators are super friendly and avid skiers... but it's outside town a bit...

Could always rent a place if enough people are down. This place is $664, sleeps 10 and is available for Friday and Saturday night. I'm not sure how many of you are looking for a place to stay while there, but something like this is always an option if there is the interest. If we filled it up that's only $67 each to stay two nights!

Course the downside to this example is only four beds....

But it's got a 6 person hot tub!

I don't mind spooning as long as I get to be the big spoon

Or maybe a luxury thermarest is a bit more PC.

[theshredder]

On another note, looks like a decent storm around New Years. La nina always comes around eventually. Here's to ringing in the first ski day of 2012 with a massive hangover, very little sleep and loads of snow. STOKED. Good times.

I am going to try and hit this today. We'll see, backside Ozone skied well yesterday.

[Spooky]

Spooky lots of jobs in the Bow Valley if they can you for not showing up lol.

If my legal stautus in the country wasn't entirely dependent on my current job that would be a tempting back up plan. As it is they have me by the balls. I should know one way or another in a few days.

Anyway here's some stoke from a couple days ago:

[goldenshowers]

New ski hill in Fernie, I doubt it but some are dreaming:
