Woo hooo! Ripped up deep powder yesterday and today! No problem taking out the nice boards now unless you follow me into the trees (remember our joke? Skilled and Stupid = better have your rock board and no fear).

:lol:

We gotta find a good graphic to make some "skilled and stoopid" T shirts. :cool:

Looking forward to this, thanks Mike! Hope the new "old" knee is up to it, and that I can get up to practice a bit before the event!

Hey Ryan, please shoot me a PM re: boot parts. I talked to one of your ski guys and he seemed a little perplexed by my want of buckles (though very nice and desperatly tried to be helpful). Had i known there was an alpine rider on staff... :rolleyes:

Hello Bryan,

Jim and I have our place in Sunriver secured. How soon do we need to buy the Joe's discount lift tickets for the OES? What method of payment?

You can email through BOL,

Email sent.

Sooner than later would be my suggestion?

I will try to have a few at the event, however, I do not wish to end up with allot of extra tickets.

Bachelor has gotten 6 feet of snow in the past week. Plenty of base! Think sun and cold for OES which is less than two months away!

Those who have stayed at places other than the Riverhouse, Inn of the 7th mountain, and Shilo Inn, please post your reviews - out-of-towners need tips on where to stay :biggthump

Woohoo! Bachelor will be a whole new mountain when we get back!

The Days Inn on 97 is pretty much exactly what you'd expect - reasonably clean, quiet, no frills. Their major perks for us were wireless internet and reasonable pet fees. When we stayed there (sometime last season) the cost for a 2 person room was about $55.

Okay I went ahead and got a room at the Riverhouse. It's not the cheapest place but it sounds like a good deal for a nice bed, hot tub, indoor and outdoor heated pools and free DSL. Plus I'm splitting the cost with my buddy Russell.

We will be leaving from Reno on Wed. the 5th, riding on Thur, Fri and Sat and then driving home on Sunday.

Cool - will be good to see you again, C5!

Bachelor is doing quite well in terms of snowpack. In fact this week is going to be the first string of three or more carving days since it started dumping around 12/17 or so.

You too Mike and others too!

I just made reservations at Days Inn -- $59

Woohoo, C5 is coming! Nice to see another Washington carver coming down. :biggthump

This is going to be a great session. Looking forward to meeting all the Tahoe carvers and everyone else headed to OES in March.

booked at the Riverhouse for 4 nights and got the lift ticket deal, ended up being $42/day for a ticket.

driving from Mtn. View CA the 5th, but probably getting in fairly late, then riding the 6th, 7th, 8th, and driving back out the 9th sometime in the early afternoon.

I'll see if anybody wants to rideshare or room share on tahoecarvers

look forward to meeting and riding with you guys!

Furi, that sounds like a great deal!!

As I was driving back from Bend yesterday. The thought occurred to me to we might want to list some of the other fun areas that are within striking distance of Bend.

Such as:

Smith Rock. Famous rock climbing area. Approx an hour north of Bend (easy drive)

Kahneeta : Indian reservation/ Resort/ Casino/ Hot Springs (hour and a half or so)

Could always do the microbew pub crawl... Deschutes, Cascade Lakes, Silver Moon, Bend Brewing.

(Note that Thursday's apres-ride is at Cascade Lakes.)
