OhD Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 I'll be driving Tri-Cities to The Dalles wednesday evening and on to Bachelor thursday morning to join the fun. Friday I pick up my wife Karen at Redmond airport about 7:30, so I'd better get dinner on my own. I'll eat at the pub, though so I can visit with the early crowd. Count me in for thursday and both of us for saturday. I'll have a vacant seat or two in the Outback thursday and friday. Staying at Mariott TownePlace (Century and Colorado). Get in touch if you could use a ride. fiveohnine-threesixsix-twelveeightysix and FRS 37-20. Dennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike T Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Folks, Just a few updates: -Saturday night will be pizza rather than pizza + BBQ. Bonnie and I realized there is no way, no how we can efficiently BBQ for the number of people that have RSVPed. We'll have salad as well... BYOB. Saturday night's event goes from 6:00 - 9:00, Raffle is at 8:00. -Weather is looking like clouds/light snow with cool temps. I was up there for a few runs this afternoon, the groomers held up quite well. Light snow is expected throughout the next week, but the warm early-week temps followed by cold during OES should mean nice firm groomies. In years past the actual weather has turned out better than the forecast - let's hope that pattern continues as I'm sure we would all love some sun. In the meantime, if you have low-light goggles you should probably bring them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Folks, just a reminder that the specials are only available through the end of day tomorrow. Details here. The forecast is trending towards colder and lower chance of precip - let's hope that trend continues!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Folks, just a reminder that the specials are only available through the end of day tomorrow. Details here. Mike, to be clear, The Double your Days offer can be bought now and used throughout the rest of the season? ONLINE ONLY DEAL (Purchase by March 2): Buy 2 days and get 2 more days FREE. Purchase a 2 of 3 multi-day ticket online and ride 4 consecutive days. Buy a 3 of 5 multi-day ticket and ride 7 consecutive days. Tickets purchased are valid through this season. On sale through March 2nd - then gone! The Hooky Days $29 offer is essentially no longer valid after next week / March 5th. ONLINE ONLY DEAL (Purchase by March 2): Ride Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays for $29 when you purchase IN ADVANCE online. Purchase over the weekend Friday - Monday for the following Tuesday - Thursday period. Present ID at the ticket window. Quantities limited. On sale through March 2nd - then gone! BUY NOW!!! (Link will only allow purchase Fri-Mon). These will be valid thru March 5th folks - the following Tuesday through Thursday period. So, basically only buy the Hooky days tickets if you will use them this coming week. The Double your Days are good now and throughout the rest of the season. Is that a correct read on this? PS, Print your receipt so you can present it at the window, you MUST have picture id with you. Don't be turned away over a technicality!! Thanks again.

Mike T Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Bryan, My understanding is that: -both Hooky Days and Double Your Days deals must be purchased by end of day Monday March 2 (and I'm not sure what that means - 5pm? midnight?) -Hooky Days are only good through Thursday March 5 (Day 1 of OES) -Double Your Days are good through end of season, the date of which is not yet determined If anyone has any doubt as to my interpretation, please don't take my word for it - please call Mt Bachelor at 800-829-2442 and ask them directly. I contacted Mt Bachelor at info@mtbachelor.com in order to help one of the OES sponsors get the Double Your Days deal and the staff was very helpful.

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Happy to !! I have a half dozen favs, however, I don't think I have ever had a dish I didn't love there!!! Sesame Beef!! Chow Fung Noodles with all Three Meats. House Fried Rice. Phonex and the Dragon. (SP) Oh yea, vegetables are SO fresh I will even eat them :) Just spoke to Chan , we are good for 12 people at 7PM , he says he has some excellent asparagus for us!!!! Everyone is certainly welcome to come. Currently I could around a dozen, if you plan to come you might post up a number of those coming with you just so I can update Chan when I roll into town Tuesday afternoon. Man am I HUNGRY!!! FYI, In the past the cost PER PERSON is typically only about 10-15$ for food (20$ if we go big!!!) . Drinks add allot but still very reasonable.

www.oldsnowboards.com Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 So, for those looking for cheap rooms in Bend? Checked six in the last hour, all around 33$ per night including taxes. Keep in mind these are "Low End" The last one, well, that is where I am staying the night. Total for three nights prepaid? 105$ total!! It has been remodeled and comes with small fridge and micro. Back right up to the door, one floor only (no one clomping around upstairs) High speed wi-fi, nice new tv with cable. Desk with chairs, fresh paint, carpet and furnishings. Not bad in my book!! And walking distance from Chan's!! (South end of Bend, closer to the moutain) Bryan Those look for inexpensive places to stay? There are at least 6 motels in the area of this one. They are at the south end of Bend (towards Sun River) , making it easy to head off to the moutain in the am. At least two good coffee drives ups within a couple blocks. Where I stayed last. Cascade Lodge 420 SE Third St. Bend, OR 97702 1-800-852-6031 1-541-382-2612 Ask for "Bobbi", Tell him Bryan the snowboarder sent you. They have AAA discount or just name a company and ask for commercial rate. I paid 105$ for three nights / single. They have coffee and rolls in the office around 7 or 7:30 am.

Mike T Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Didn't get up to the mountain this AM - giving my knee a rest - but it's snowing here in town. That's never a bad sign! Day Zero folks, bring something that's freshie-friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 People from other parts of the country already showing up:biggthump. 2-4" on the grooms with more in the hollows. Looks to be about the same tomorrow, then a little less snow and cooler each day until sunday.

Randy T. Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 One more day, I can't wait to see everyone!!! I bought two cases of beer today. I think I will keep them until the party at Mike's on Sat. and bring them over to share that night. My friend also gave me two Buckbean shirts to add as raffle prizes. I think I'm going to have to bring up a cooler of beer from my friends new brewery that just opened last year!http://www.buckbeanbeer.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ-PS Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Got a text from Hugh a little bit ago saying they've been running into some white stuff already on the way up. They left from the Bay Area this morning and were heading straight up. Bout a 9 hour drive. I'll be leaving around 6-6:30 and showing up in the am. Can't wait to meet up with everyone tomorrow (maybe only a half day for me) for some turns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ-PS Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Hey all, Just found out a 20 year old snowboarder died at my home mountain last week. She was slightly off run with her brother when they were separated. When found she was face down in a tree well and could not be resuscitated. Lets be careful!!! Especially if we're lucky enough to have some serious pow days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Yep, there is some weather. It's sunny at my house in Bend right now but has also been wet sloppy heavy snow at times. For those driving, please be careful on the way up. If you're coming from Reno, 395 to 31 might be advisable over 139 to 97. (It's faster anyway, but not as many places to stop along the way...)

Mike T Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Temps are currently in the high teens, with 1-3" expected overnight and another 1-3" expected tomorrow. I hope to be in the parking lot before 8am. Red Outback with a large Yakima box on top. Wanna "try before you buy" on the Coiler PR196 I have for sale in the classifieds? Come see me early! Not your style? Come see me anyways ;) Oh, and I will have clipboards, blank forms and pens too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
