no dice

Yeah, temps may kill this before it begins. I guess the guys that went on Tues got the goodness.

CAIC yesterday:

"Ambient air temperatures look to be approaching the freezing mark the next few nights, which would indicate only a weak freeze overnight. This is not good, however, the clear skies will help with radiational heat loss from the snowpack which should help with an overnight freeze. Given the over-all warming trend, it will be important to plan routes that get you off avalanche terrain fairly early in the day. With the above mentioned potential for deeper weak layers, plan days accordingly.

There were a number of natural and human triggered wet loose slides on Tuesday around Summit County.

Even though recent activity has not been very large, terrain traps could make a so-so situation go bad quickly. "

SFB is, er, relatively trapped terrain.

The Nickle Tavern will be in affect.

we could sell pron and finger sniffing.

**Dokken** · 05-10-2007, 04:16 PM

I was thinking about maybe hitting chihuahua then marjories early in the day, anybody been back there lately?

**Rockband** · 05-10-2007, 05:01 PM

I would also very much be down for SFB or something nearby in the AM, but I also have not not done that line.

I'm kind-of a newb to the Loveland side of things, so if anyone is heading up near A-basin I'd enjoy tagging along. You'd also get the bonus of my amateurish picture taking skills.

PMs sent to people on the parking spot RSVPing list.

Final tally for me...

lots of hot dogs
lots of Monster
lots of vodka
some Fat Tire
5 folding chairs

And is anyone bringing a couple of decks??

Unconfirmed.......didn't bring the generator back either.

**Below Zero** · 05-11-2007, 09:23 AM

Bump......

**Trainwreck** · 05-11-2007, 03:38 PM

I have lots of brats, beans, chips, and beer to share. A 2 burner propane and pots and pans if anyone needs to use, a bag of charcoal for whomever is bringing the grill, and a random collection of assorted condiments of dubious age that may or may not be edible.

**Pow4Brains** · 05-11-2007, 05:08 PM

A handle of Sky, Sapphire, Jim Beam and Bacardi…..check

Coke, Tonic Water, OJ and Cranrazz……..check
Could maybe use more vodka due to amount of mixers.

Shit tons of fruit, muffins, dognuts and snacks……..check

In need of coffee, cream and sugar.

See you bitches there

my fucking plane from JFK to SLC is delayed by 2 hours. This means that in 4 round trips in the past 8 months, I have yet to have a trip that was within an hour of being ontime. Assuming that Jtrue and co are down with leaving at 3am, we should be rolling in by 10ish, but if it delays any more, I might not be able to make it. Fucking jetblue, jetfuckyou.

I'd like to do "Shit for Brains", but I've never done it. Anyone interested in showing me something up there?

I hit Shit For Brains this morning and the snow was not that great. There was half frozen avie debris all the way down. Still fun, but the snow was far from ideal. There are way better lines in that area right now for that hike.

just talked to jtrue and his buddie, departing park city at around 3am, look for the green subie w/ giant thule box and 3 caffinated people in it around 9-10 am, hopefully sooner because I have a penchant for speeding. we'll look for the big group of maggot cars. Also, I know Deep days has the comps, but how/where/when can we find him to pick them up, I'm hesitant to set a solid meeting point seeing as I cannot be sure when we will arrive?

Pretty sure Max has a radio. Channel 5-13. Drop him a PM.

Fuckin a Road trip dude.

I hope all was good, as I was unable to go due to some PUNK ASS kids breaking my car window, stealing my iPod, CD's, and a pair of sunglasses. Now I get to spend 500 bucks on my deductible to get the window, the tint, the dash dent removed, and other misc damage fixed. FUN TIMES...

**Jim J** · 05-14-2007, 06:40 AM

I took a lap by the beach and didn't see a sign up, so I just paid for my beers at the bar like the tourist I am.

**skiHOG** · 05-14-2007, 12:13 PM

good time with you guys on saturday. sorry i seemed to disappear about 6pm. the gf and I were transitioning our stuff up to the last chance lot. she was carrying a box of shit and tripped and fell on a hill and sprained her ankle pretty badly. so, we ended up leaving and going to summit medical center to get it taken care of. never made it back out after that. still, a good time.

thanks to pow4brains, deepdays, nick_pappagorgio(sp?) for getting there and claiming a spot. phish, thanks for the keg beer. i was pretty shitty by the time the lifts closed.

the sign was facing the slope, not the parking lot - if you were walking down the lot and missed it. sorry to have missed you... we'll have to swing 2 mini's next season.

That's a shame.
Sounds like you need some spending money.
Heard you have a pair of THUGS.
I'll buy them. PM me.

I missed the sign too, and took several laps down the beach. Oh well, next year.

I've heard of situations where certain people had a case of CD's and DVD's in the car... one friend had a pair of expensive ski boots in the trunk. that way the deductible wasn't an issue.
