The only "offal icial" route is Silverton Mar 29... The rest is a free-for-all. If we're all within 200 road miles of each other I think we can pull this off through the use of cell phones and the intraweb.

OK, now if Woodsy, KS would just lemme know what their Ah Spend schedules are going to be, I'll know too.

I had been thinking I'd do Ah Spend the M-T before and then try to hit T'ride the Wednesday before. And as much as I'd like to join in the debauchery on RMP Wednsday night, I'll have my posse of wee ones in tow.

It sounds like it would be really cool to hit T'ride on Friday to hook with the pimp crib Alta Lakes Observatory.

I could easily be talked into Wed. at CB on the way to SW Colo. And a mixture of San Juan BC & T-ride for Fri. and Sat. with most likely a short tour on Red Mtn. pass on Sun. departure are on my agenda.
I'll pass on the Asspending.

A plan is coming together.

reidhreskho - I'm definitely interested in both the Red Mtn and ToHellYouRide setups, could you tentatively count me in on those? Thanks for setting this up, mang.

We're out. We're doing the maggot str8line camp instead...

Barring any life altering events, I’m in too.

FrankZappa- GFP and I would be interested in a Red Mtn. Pass BC day if you're planning on going. We're in for Silverton on Thursday, and have Friday, Saturday, and probably Sunday morning to kill before I have to leave for my next rotation.

seems to me like snowpack conditions will dictate where to ski. i am likely to be skiing mostly t-ride sidecountry because i know it better and have nothing against using lifts to service the goods and ski more vert(not to mention it is one of my most favorite places), but i might be talked into a battleship or something else big if the snowpack is looking relatively stable on red mtn....

OK. Sounds good. I think iskibc's up for that kind of thing too. We can plan that at almost the last minute... Conditions dependant. There's lots of country to choose from.

I'll prolly be basein' out of S-ton for the 2nd half duration.

**easyrdr** · 10-12-2006, 11:04 AM

I am definitely in for thursday, can't freakin wait!

**HobieTony** · 10-17-2006, 10:08 PM

Got the Secret Password, PM'd Reidhresko, vacation plans made!

**Buster Highmen** · 10-18-2006, 10:33 AM

Since a couple of people have asked: it's fine if person A gets the password from me and then makes reservations for a group. That's different than just handing out the password.

At this point, there's still room on that day....

**FrankZappa** · 10-19-2006, 10:29 AM

Just to let folks know... in case they might be heading to Silverton via Wolf Creek pass.
Wolf Creek ski area
March 28th Wednesday Local Appreciation Day
and also on the back end (if extended)
April 4th Wednesday Local Appreciation Day
They've always been "No ID required" in the past.
That means tickets are only $25
Could definately be worth it if conditions are right.

**Buster Highmen** · 10-27-2006, 03:53 PM

bump up over all the posts by the misinterpretants of the TGR concept of Summit...

**freshies** · 10-30-2006, 02:34 PM

This trip sounds sweet. Silverton on the 29th w/a bunch of mags, then heading to T'Ride for a few days @ this sweet hut!!?? I am def. interetsed, so please post-up final deets when you have them.

As for BC action, I have avy 1 and 2 certs and do a lot of BC in Tahoe. But as you said, SW CO is waayy different, and I would want to buddy up with a local that can call the snow pak better than I.

I assume i need to go to the Silverton web site and reserve a spot for the 29th? Then wait for deets on the T'Ride hut and send $$ when that is sorted?

Am thinking of a late March road trip: Tahoe -> Silverton -> T'ride -> Taos -> Moab -> Home (Tahoe).

If you want the discount for the 3/29 date @ Silverton, PM me for the password and then you have to call in to make your reservation.

will do. how is it looking numbers-wise (still plenty of spots left for the 29th?). i may wait a month or two to fully commit, so just curious.

Currently, there's probably enough left. I haven't checked in a few weeks. But these things go in quanta: for a while only about 4 people had registered, then all of a sudden 10 more jumped in.

**snowfire** · 10-31-2006, 10:30 PM

Grrr... I missed the deadline. They are so hard to get ahold of. I left a bunch of messages over the last couple of weeks, no calls back, finally got a call back today when I was in an exam, called back, phone tag, you're it... on the last day for the discount. Balls.

So I'm probably out unless I can sweet talk them into giving me the discount past the deadline, but GFP and his sister got in so they're still going.
