Looks like we're going to do a BBQ at Vagabond ranch for lunch, should be fun!

 

[backcountryislife]

ok Folks, we're all set! Going to have a BBQ at Vagabond Ranch available for a reasonable price, and we're planning to have the beacon practice nearby, or right on the ranch property.

If you need directions, there's a link on the event page, if you want to ride share from closer to home, we'll be meeting up at the Conoco- downieville to consolidate some vehicles & save some gas $$!

If you've got other questions, let me know!

Weather is looking "good?" IE: no snow, 29 degrees

Thanks for the invite! I will try to be there. Would be nice to meet you in person.

Still contemplating it. I was also thinking of going to Burns to ride my dirtbike. Since it looks like that may be the only way to get the 2 stroke fix.

Yeah... I'm sure you're not nearly as much of a d!k as I think I am in person!!!

I'll be in Florida, hate to miss this great event! But I see most of you all the time anyways so.....We'll practice when the snow falls and the avy danger is crazy high.

oh yeah... I know what your version of "practice" is...


Hey Kaleb, go climb that hill over there, I heard the avy danger was really low today...

Pretty Much

Pretty Much

HAHAHA!!!



For the record I had droppedt it as a test slope, and then went back up to take a look at the snowpack in the crown. That wasn't an accidental slide... so Tec didn't get a chance to "practice" that day!!!

this thing still on? or is everyone scattering for snow?
better yet is there snow to ride there now that we got a few inches

If your looking for snow go to Buff pass. If your looking for a BBQ and some beacon practice come to VR.
And the snow up high is fun for this year.....

Snow up high is fun but you need a guide.

Just come on up with RP... it'll be a fun day!

We WILL find some fun pockets after the get together though... guaranteed!

Hopefully I'll make your next Beacon Olympics, I think it's a great idea.

There are going to be a ton of avy's once we do get some snow.

 

[backcountryislife]

found this probing!!!

then made use of it!

 

[backcountryislife]

If you haven't been to Vagabond yet, I highly recommend it... sweet place!!!

Jeremy really helped make it a great day & then did some guiding for us after the practice, showed us some cool spots!
