Poll thread

Round One Thread

I think we can let the other threads die and keep just one, so post up!

Last years Mini Threads:

Time to Get Serious

Lodging Info and The Scoop from last year, good links in here for lodging

Please keep in mind that this year the setup will be different, so these threads are great for finding the deals you need on lodging and more.

I need the same info as last year:

1. Where are you coming from?
2. What dates will you be here?
3. Do you need lodging and where is preferable?
4. Do you ski or board? (Thinking of Alta)
5. Are you going to bring a big snow storm with you??

Teledave has already pulled the trigger, great deals right now on flights.


Please start making this another event to remember and post up!!

Utah Snow Report:

Let Buzz or Altachic know if you still need transportation. Hopefully the Utards are more than willing to help out with this. If you can, rent a car. That will be most helpful to get you where you need to go. Find a bunch of you and get it together, or call canyon transportation to get yourself from the airport to Alta on Friday so we can all meet at Goldminers. Yes, Friday at GMD apres ski is happening this year as well for the giveaway and some "buy you a beer?" time. Thanks all, look forward to meeting you more of you.

Altachic- snowskirules@yahoo.com
Buzzworthy- buzzron@gmail.com

Keep checking back for anything new!!

Thanks ONS!!

Anyone local want to take Frozens place from last year and throw a party for after the GMD experience apres ski on Friday?

I really REALLY REALLY want to go!!! But my whole life is up in the air...I'll fill this out best as I can...

1. Where are you coming from? LA
2. What dates will you be here? hopefully 4 day weekend
3. Do you need lodging and where is preferable? yah a couch/floor/dog bed/tarp/hut/leanto/tree fort close to LCC!!!!
4. Do you ski or board? (Thinking of Alta) ski
5. Are you going to bring a big snow storm with you?? all praises to jahbuddahchristullrallah and I refuse to answer this!

[basom]

man i wanna make it happen.

it willl be just as i'm cleared for skiing activity, i just don't know how many consecutive days i'll be able to ski.

any one with 'first month back from acl reconstruction' experience i'd like your imput to weather or not i could ski four or five days in a row?

if my knee is fairly bomber i will be flyng from- boston
-there for four or five days
-in need of a couch or a closet or a rug
-ski
-i can commit to bringing the pain hardcore from the brain, but thats about it.

[teledave]

1. Where are you coming from? The Grand Ole Opry
2. What dates will you be here? Skiing 12/17-19
3. Do you need lodging and where is preferable? Yes, wherever it's cheapest, or free
4. Do you ski or board? (Thinking of Alta) Yeah, right!
5. Are you going to bring a big snow storm with you?? Same as last year

Edit: For basom, When was your surgery? (I don't wanna search for it.) My first time out it my knee was bomber, but that was 11 months post-op. You'll probably notice that it will fatigue more quickly on you than before for the first season back. I had more problems mentally the first season than I did physically. Get you one of those 8x12 icepacks with the velcro straps, it'll be a lifesaver.

[13]

I encourage those of you who want to stay slopeside to stay at GMD.

Closest lodging to the Collins & Wildcat lifts.

4 days of skiing, ice stops, lots of Advil, rest stops (I will gladly sit with you and have a beer) and taking it easy. At Hood, my wife "grounded" me, no air she said. You will have grounded status too and mandatory rest stops to make it thru I would think.

Heal up and see what you can do. Worst comes to worse, you hang with a bunch of us it it gets too much a party like a rockstar.

I did it the first year, no riding but you all got me damn freaking drunk in GMD all day.

People do tend to come in early after ringing there bell a few times, so plan on making it for some easy skiing and maggot comraderie (sp?).

To add to that, The Best Western in Sandy is where a ton of you stayed last year and heard nothing but good reports.

Ask Woodsy about Solitude accomodations too, I hear he has connections.

Check the links from last years threads to get more info too. If you do not find what you need, post here or PM me or email me.

I do have a guest bedroom with a queen bed. Will allow certain maggots to stay with me, as the wife will be rather pregnant at that time. Now, I am about an hour north of the LCC and BCC areas, but 25 minutes to Snowbasin.

[cololi]

I'll be there, err, here.


EDIT:
I can probably assist in transporting to and fro.

Also, if there is any interest in a bc day (condition dependant) may be into helping plan something.

[glademaster]

I will be attending for sure (with my dad)

1. Where are you coming from? EWR (New Jersey)

2. What dates will you be here? 12/11-12/19

3. Do you need lodging and where is preferable? Not really, but if you know of anywhere good in or around Park City, let me know.

4. Do you ski or board? (Thinking of Alta) Dad and I are both skiers

5. Are you going to bring a big snow storm with you?? Prolly not, I thought someone else was.

I can't wait. So stoked right now.

Edit: My vote is for Snowbasin on Saturday the 18th, if anyone is keeping track.

[Red Baron]

I am here, and will be off work for the entire duration of this years summit...I may have some crash space to offer up, and certainly can help shuttle some people back and forth to the airport.

And yes, I'll take care of that big storm you guys want...

[funkendrenchman]

1. Where are you coming from? Boulder, CO... no space, as I will be moving and my car will be packed with crap.
2. What dates will you be here? Dec 18-20
3. Do you need lodging and where is preferable? Yes. Powho's, phunk's, GT's or whoever offers.
4. Do you ski or board? (Thinking of Alta) ski
5. Are you going to bring a big snow storm with you?? well, duh

[altachic]

I'm already here, planning this event with buzz, i have room for 4-5 people(or more if you can cook me dinner and do the dishes) and yes, there will be snow.

Oh, i'm 8 minutes from the mouth of LCC and 3 from BCC.

[Lumpy]

For lodging thats still close I also reccomend the Country Inn and Suites. Huge rooms around $60 a night, pool, hot tub, free booze hour M-TH. On 10600 S just off I-15.

Family stayed there during my wedding and it was a great property at a pretty sweet price for what you get. Plus free shuttles within a five mile radius.

I've got no couch space this time, but will shuttle and assist in any other way I can.

And my right hand chic makes an appearance!!!

Red Baron, make it happen my man!!

AC, can you start a list in here of the people coming and when they plan to be here and what they need (lodging)? This helps all to coordinate rides, lodging, getting drunk on the plane with a random maggot,........

Actually, I will start it if you can help edit more in. I will get to it soon.

PM coming.

I've yet to make it to a Utah mini and I think this might be the year. Too early in the season in my opinion for those who might have run out of vacation for the current year , but I'm good to go.

Dude

[Ubersheist]

1. Flying (possibly driving) from Sacramento
2. 17th - 19th, possibly the 20th.
3. I would be eternally grateful for lodging anywhere cheap! Can good beer be brought into Utah via an airplane? If it can be, I'll be bringin' some!
4. Ski, damnit!
5. I've got cheese growing in the folds of my fat near my belly.

[freshie247]

I love skiing Utah,& look forward to skiing with fellow mags .

1. Where are you coming from? Driving from Boulder.

2. What dates will you be here? hopefully the whole time,not sure about dates cause of family obligations in ST. Louis.

3. Do you need lodging and where is preferable? No, I've got a couple of friends in Sandy.

4. Do you ski or board? (Thinking of Alta) It's all about ILM (independant leg motion).

5. Are you going to bring a big snow storm with you?? I pay homage to ULLR every night with unrivaled piety with the hopes that my snow patch is the most sincere!

ALta RULES!!!!!

[CUBUCK]

1. Flying from NYC
2. Arriving 16th leaving evening of 19th
3. Need lodging cheap is good free si better. Will sleep on floor.
4. Ski (I'll be the guy with the bromodels)
5. Will you settle for a Nor'easter

[divegirl]

1. Sacramento, CA. Plane flights are currently cheap, at $184 round trip to SLC. I may have to solidify the deal and buy soon.

2. The night of the 16th through the night of the 19th.

3. Yes, and CHEAP is preferable. I'll probably splurge one night with the manfriend. But I'm a low maintenance kinda gal, and very respectful of space, so if you have floor space, I'll like you forever and return the favor, or bear gifts of high-alcohol content beer or Napa Valley wines, or possibly some CA cuisine.

4. Ski, naturally.

5. You betcha. I'm also going to bring some strippers with me and a couple of porn stars.

BUZZ - thank you so much for organizing!!
