crucible Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 I missed the innaugral one last year and have been wondering if there's going to be a repeat. Considering the fact that we have EPIC amounts of snow- it would be a shame to not have another... George Quote
adrian barr Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 I would definately be in And I think we could also count Dave and Boris in also Quote
BlueB Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 You bet! :D I started talking to Chris Prior already. The idea is to tie it with a demo day. Mid February by the looks of it. I'll keep everyone posted. Boris Quote
mr_roboteye Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 Sounds nice, I'll keep my eye on this thread. later, Dave R. Quote
Dave* Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 Like wise, mid Febuary works , Mid week would be best just for crowd reduction, I have a two week block of time off then, Also there will be all the old guy hardbooters from ontario ( Art, Anthony, Johnny etc) coming out for their annual trip around that time.

BlueB Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 Dave R and George, could you try to talk the rest of Grouse crowd into it? Last year's WES was organised as an attempt to put Cypress and Grouse crews together on neutral terrein... then Grouse guys never showd up. Quote
mr_roboteye Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 Dave R and George, could you try to talk the rest of Grouse crowd into it? I'm not really part of any crowd. I've only gone to the local mountains about 3 times this year, and didn't see any other hardbooters on all three occasions. Don't worry, If I say I'm gonna come, I'll be there. The only local guy I've ever ridden with is Dave* and that was at Whistler when I used to live there. later, Dave R. Quote
BlueB Posted February 1, 2007 Report Posted February 1, 2007 Ok guys, I spoke to Cris Prior few times. It seems to make most sense to coincide it with his demo days at Whistler. There's 2 demo days, but we should pick one for our main gathering: Sun 18 Feb - easier for people with regullar jobs but more crowds Mon 19 Feb - could be tough for some Although I can always pull a day off, my gut feeling is still Sunday, just to have as big participation as possible... Also, Chris says that crowds were not too bad recently. Now, as this is democracy, please chime in on your date prefferences! I want to set quickly and start phoning people who do not frequent this board. Your own BlueB self proclaimed WES organizer Quote
crucible Posted February 1, 2007 Author Report Posted February 1, 2007 My vote is for the Sunday- February 18th. Chris is right- the Sundays haven't been too crowded lately.... Quote
BlueB Posted February 3, 2007 Report Posted February 3, 2007 Ok, by unanimous vote of George, Chris Prior and myself, and no one else chiming in, Sunaday 18th Feb. it is. I'm starting the "official" WES tread, hopefully "sticky" if Fin okays it... Quote
