2008 Spring Fling May 2-4

And I was really hoping for the "T" rides.

We'll be up Thursday night around 8:30ish and leaving Sunday mid-morning
after some B&G. Please bring all sacrificial bottles of high grade whiskey to the 1968 Land Line camper located in the MC lot, when you arrive. All bottles will be sacrificed to the snow gods for a short summer and lots of snow next season.

…hey, it worked last year!

EDIT: Please don't get the 1968 Land line camper confused with the 1967 Red Dale camper.
The Land line is a bumper pull connected to a blue '05 Dodge!!!

I will roll in Saturday morning. Bringing my Dad and a Friend most likely tool around a bit and then head to Area 54. I am still trying to get Duke to go to the doc and have his mangina stitched closed so he can attend.

I will be in a Red mega cab with either a deck on it or black four place trailer.

The 67 red dale is on a 72 GMC!!!

There we go, that's better, but lets not limit it to whiskey, any joy juice will do

Thats what I was thinking. Need to wait for the snow to soften so my
heavy azz Yami don't smoke right through the hyfax. lol

 

[rkymtnman]

Holy Cow

Don't think we'll have to worry too much about the base softening up / LOL

aw man.... saw on the news 10" in the RE area....
Unfortunately it looks like i'll only be able to make it up there sunday

Started snowing at my place a few hours ago (couple blocks from the gondola), looks like it's gonna be a good weekend!


Just out of curiousity, does anyone know if it's legal to ride on the mountain? I know we can ride WP, but we can't park there, I would assume the same is true here, any ideas on how to work it?

 

[bushy]

It's starting to pile up at the tower station

 

[duke1n]

Damn boys sounds like the timing will be right on Sat. Ok gotta head to the casino have fun this weekend

 

[theiceman]

pretty sure its illegal to ride on the ski mountain.... its in the "non motorized zone"
WFO up storm peak face sure would be fun tho!

 

[jomarkinc]

Leaving chicago now R E friends around here think we are crazy because we havent had snow in month but they dont understand I'M driving a white lexus lx470 w/ 3place open 08 xp 154 and a 07 m1000 or another 08 xp 154 depends what we do in granby at powerworld on a trade.

well, if you see tracks going up there next week, it wasn't me then!!

 

[tudizzle]

which mtn do you speak of? Steamboat?


It was my understanding that the resorts only lease the land from the forest service. Once operation has ended the property rights go back to the FS making it legal to ride? But if it does fall into non motorized wilderness then it would still be a no no

This is at least what I have heard regarding a few of the ski resorts
