    SLC/LCC/BCC -> been done
    JH -> been done
    Tahoe -> been done
    PNW, W/BC -> been done.

    So doesn't that sort of leave CO?
    Silverton/Telluride/CB?

    Ahspen?

    Grunt Range?

    Colorado is so fucking obvious. Let's go off the beaten trail, shall we?

    Snowshoe Mountain, West Virginia?
    Trollhaugen, Wisconsin?
    Crystal Methountain, Michigan?
    Perfect North, Indiana?

    Don't forget Mt. Bohemia with their Extreme Backcountry.

    I could almost guarantee I'd be there if we held it in the in that neck of the woods, but since I know what sarcasm is I won't book my hotel room just yet.

    i think CO summit should wait until the Breck-Vail gondola is done. I hear it's gonna be off the hook.

    Interior BC (Red Mtn. Kicking Horse Fernie) and then Montana would be pretty nice.

    In all seriousness, for a change of pace....

    What has made certain summits more or less successful? Obviously, snow and terrain quality are key. But what about the other factors -- ease of access from the airport to the slopes, time and cost of flights from the variety of places in which we all live, gaper madness and related delays, etc.?

    A-Basin is a great choice. There's easy access, the beach, hotels everywhere, cheap prices, good snow, terrain, and it would be sick of course.

    For everything but costs, Aspen is probably a good choice. I don't know what the overall financial situation of the maggot populace is, so that could screw things up. Although, looking at a picture of a bar tab from this year's summit...who knows? (What happened to a few 30-racks of pibbers, folks?)

    CB would probably be better in terms of price, but definitely harder to access. Personally, this would be my choice, since if I went I'd drive regardless, but I don't know how the rest of the populace feels.

    A problem in CO is that proximity to major/cheap airports also means an influx of gapers. Don't come to summit unless you want to ski OB.

    Jay Peak,

    with a side trip to Stowe... Ahhh yeah..

    In all seriousness though, kicking horse or silverton would be pretty sweet.

    I've only been to one "official" summit... the others were mini-summits. That one was Tahoe, and I thought it was great! It was held in March, which worked out well b/c we didn't have to leave the EC goods (yes, there were actually goods that year!) in Jan/Feb. We were able to hit several areas which were in fair proximity of each other. And had a few nice happy hours. It doesn't take much to make a good summit. The attendees generally make it totally worthwhile to be there!

    I think CO would be great, I've always wanted to ski there and have a fair chance of convincing Mr. Sprite to go although it will take some really creative and strategic positioning on my part (yep, I'll have to break out the WD-40 for this one). We rented an expensive ski house for next season, and he's going to balk at going out West too. So I'm really going to have to work on him for this...cuz I really want to go.

    Well I would say Aspen. And believe it or not the BC is killer there. 4 mtns. And maybe if we got everybody to reserve at the same place I could use my military discount for a mass reservation.

    I am obviously biased, but my vote would be for somewhere in CO. Aspen would be great, 3 mountains(Buttermilk doesn't count imho), lots of BC, but the whole cost of lodging/drinks etc is pretty steep and I only have so much floor space to offer up to crash on, so I am really open to anywhere.

    It's hard to imagine anywhere being better in terms of convenience than LCC/BCC. Also I hear the snow and terrain are o.k. Since it's been done, though, I'd put my vote in for SW Colorado. Probably Telluride as the epicenter.

    Asssspen. Heh.

    Pizza! French Fry!

    Anyway, yea... maybe figure out dates, since I don't want to put too much input in if I know I can't go.

    I vote for Friday, March 9 thru Sunday, March 18 as the primary week/10 days.

    Oh, and just because the SLC/Ogden area has been done, doesn't mean it can't ever be re-visited. Maybe not this year, but someday...

    I assumed Colorado. Anchor one weekend in Aspen and the other weekend elsewhere -- Colorado's a big place and I don't want to miss any of it.
    If you have a problem & think that someone else is going to solve it for you then you have two problems.
