[grrrr]

I'd like to know why the rest of the Baker posse isn't on that list.

[ROCKS]

I'm down.... Sign me up.

[postman22]

hey buster,

put me on the list

when is this "summit." i'd be happy to show a few maggots around.

bring all your avi gear. february, march is when the backcountry skiing is epic and normally when the snowback has stabled out

[The AD]

March 3-12. It sounds like most people will be hitting W/B the second half of the timeframe with more action at the Washington hills the first half.

[DerJaeger]

I'm pretty sure I'll be around for the summit. I live in Van and can give people a lift up to Whistler, etc.

[fiddler]

I'll be there. Have no clue where I'll stay at Whistler though. Anyone need a broke roomie?

[Monique]

I'm 100% in for Buster's Very Important Event at XTAL. Closer to the date I'll figure out a few days at W/B and/or other PNW mountains sometime during the summit.

[hop]

I may show up for a day or two but it's right in between P.F.W.T. travel dates, so I can't commit yet.
Gee, it's been something like 4 years since I skied Whistler... that's bad.

[Squirrel99]

I'm definitely in for both weekends, whether it be in Whistler or WA. Unfortunately, my time is limited- it's the same week my boss gets married back East (and her boss will also be at the wedding) which pretty much assures that I can't get any weekdays off as I'm left to run the office

But I'm looking forward to those weekend days ripping with everyone at WB!!!

[ZGnzo]

i should be able to get up there one or both weekends

[dude_le_skibum]

this is going to be a first for me....if its snowy i'll be there.

[tibaher]

tibaher
Bomber
(Wilson and Ringo too)

[Buster Highmen]

About 39 folks and counting.

[PNWbrit]

I"ll be around at Crystal/Alpental but not sure if I can make it up to WB

[Zeedashbo]

i'm in for tour guide in WA. and if they let me over the border, i'll be at w/b

[bklyn]

Brooklyn will represent, not sure if I will hook up with my Seattle friends earlier in the week or stay in whistler the whole time.

[Buster Highmen]

Update:

No one from W/BC has stepped up to facilitate yet. It would be great if someone organized a few rendezvous.

I can help with Seattle.

[LeeLau]

I know the owner of this outfit

http://www.powderzoneadventures.com/powdermountain.html

I will look into a group discount package for cat-skiing. Who's tentatively interested?


I will also get hold of some restaurants for group dinners etc.

Having never been to one of these before I have no idea what other kind of organized activities take place.

There's really 3 level:
1) Help with finding transportation resources.
2) Help with finding lodging deals.
3) Organizing meeting places before and after skiing.

It's really just disseminating information. The rewards are usually free drinks and dinner.

If you could help out that would be cool. Request a sticky thread from Owens Never Sleeps and put this type of information up at the top of the thread. An alias could be created to help maintain that thread.

Thanks d00d. Any interest in coming south for 3/6-8 or so?

[trouble]

put me down for being there, probably just daytrip from van

[LeeLau]

March 3-12. It sounds like most people will be hitting W/B the second half of the timeframe with more action at the Washington hills the first half.

I'm working some contacts to figure out group dinners etc.

For example I can get a group of up to 30 into a nice restaurant Val d'Isere for 3 course dinner for about 40 bucks each not including wine.

I can probably also get a group rate for the Mongolie Grill. A very nice place, not as swanky but awesome food.

I might be able to get group discounts on a cat trip too.

I know the dates are March 3rd (Friday) to March 12th (Sunday).

I need some input into when the summit people will be in Whistler.

I'll commit to organizing up to 2 group dinners but will need some ballpark figures of how many people will be there?

So when will people be showing up?

Who would be interested in a cat trip?

Who would be interested in dinner?

If interested in group dinner - expensive medium or cheap?

AM I going about this all wrong? Is it too early to herd all the cats? Or just plain impossible?

Lego is aggregating the various fecal matters and should be able to provide an excel spreadsheet with 3d shaders specifying this info.

I'm planning on being up there Friday and Saturday. I'd be interested in a cat deal on Saturday and dinner either night.

The only way to go wrong is to worry about actually trying to enumerate everyone. You've taken the sack of offering up your effort, let them come to you.

I can only do this if people send me the info though. http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=44172

Way to step up LeeLau. Much better to have someone local do it.
As far as when to organize dinners/night stuff. Definately around the latter weekend (3/9-3/12) is the safest bet here as that when I think most people are going to be up in W/B.

I know my group will probably be in for a dinner. Although we do want to hit Sushi Village too and not spend too much on food this trip so two expensive dinners might get a little tight.

As far as the cat trip, DG and I will be doing another cat trip in Tahoe hopefully before the summit so that might be too much coin for us (unless its comprable to a lift ticket of course ).

[LeeLau]

Ok i just got excited as the restaurant guys I know are stoked to do this.

Moderate cost

Wildwood for sure. Oh so good and so tasty
Sushi Ya

For slightly more upscale

Val d’Isere.
La Rua
Carumbas
Hy’s
Bearfoot Bistro
Ric’s Grill

I just figured out a maggot deal on some Escape Route backcountry touring deals for touring possibilities. Now to just pull all the shit together.
