garyj Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Sounds good Neil. Lets get the boys up north confirmed over the next couple weeks. Are you up at Mammoth this next weekend? It looks like I will be up from Friday pm to possibly Wed pm. There is a chance of snow during this time with continued low temps---hopefully.

nekdut Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 I'm heading up on Saturday morning through Monday evening. I should be at June on Sun and Mammoth on Monday. I am expecting crowds and gapers galore, but the pow should be nice :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekdut Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Bumping this for visibility. :) I am not 100% certain that I can take Friday off for Mammoth on the 20th, but I will be at June and Rose on Sat/Sun for sure. Mammoth-ites, carpool to Rose? Who's down? Lets get a list going just so we can know who to look out for. 1) Neil 2) Gary 3) Randy T 4) Tae 5) Shawn James? Erwin? Tim? Russel? Who else?

nekdut Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Neil, Had a lot of fun last time riding and jawing with all us alpine freaks. If I'm back working in Torrance next year I will gladly help out with some of responsibilities. Waiting to hear if they plan extend my contract or not. Take care, Tom Tom, Hope to see you back at SDC soon. Hope you're getting some good days on the slopes this year in Japan! Thanks again for the Carve mag!

Yard Sale Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 I'm in for any day at Mt. Rose. I'll even take off work for a weekday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_50th Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 I'm in for the June and Rose days, esp since Rose is more of my home than my home. I'll help for the Rose day however I can. Let's make this happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mookihouse Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 I will go Mammoth and June if I can find someone to share lodging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawndoggy Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 In for Rose for sure on Sunday and maybe a quick day trip down to June if there's any money left after oes AND I can convince at least one of my kids to get up early and make the drive with me.

surfnsnow Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 I'm just now really studying this thread. This sounds like great time! I may be able to make Mammoth and June on the 20th and 21st, but I'd have to come home on the 22nd eliminating Rose for me. I'll chcek my calendar at work tomorrow and confirm one way or the other for the 20th and 21st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfnsnow Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 It looks like I can make it the first two days as mentioned above, but there hasn't been much dialogue on this thread for a while. Is this still on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekdut Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 As far as I know it is. This is just an informal gathering so we will all try to do what we can as each location. How about a few meet up times and locations: Mammoth: Fri 9am @ Ch2 Sign June: Sat 10am @ top of Rainbow between Ch6 and 4 Can someone chime in for Rose? I don't know the mountain well enough to make a call there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loc Posted March 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Gonna try and get up there for the June meetup. I'd love to get some critiques and polish up my technique. I want to be in top form for my Tahoe trip at the end of March Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can create a post if you have not already done so. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the mountain well enough to make a call there. If any of you are going to be here early enough we could meet at the bottom of the lift on the Slide Mtn/East Bowl side at 8:30. If not we can post other options but there is only 1 high speed six pack chair on each side of the mtn. so it's pretty easy to find people. So how many people are coming up to Rose and what time do you expect to ride? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawndoggy Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 I'll be there Sunday at Rose, intermittently running gates for daughter's ski team's "parent race." Would love to get some lunchtime tailgating on for the Slide Side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekdut Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 How long is the drive from Mammoth to Rose? About 2.5 hours? I am not sure if we will get there by 8:30am. Also, long range forecasts show a chance of a storm. Lets see how it ends up looking as we get closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could probably be done in 2.5, but that would be leaving at 5:00 a.m., not hitting any traffic and getting every green light through carson city. Long term forcasts are notoriously inaccurate this time of year. For the straight weather picture (including the level of confidence in the forecast), I strongly recommend checking out the Reno NOAA office's Forecast Discussion. Great for a snapshot of what's expected in the sierra from Mammoth north. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyj Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 SNES---Trifecta link for WA, OR, and ID Randy T, can you please elaborate on the meeting time and place for the guys up north? http://www.bomberonline.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=25301 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawndoggy Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 I'm not Randy, but I'll probably be there before him anyhow... Slide Mtn. turnoff is about a mile before the main lodge for Mt. Rose. Take that first left turn and go to the "Slide side." Chairs on the slide side start at 8:30, 9:00 on the main side. The slide lodge lot is very big, and unless there's a foot of fresh, it will be empty in the morning. There will be lot guys lining people up to park on the south side of the lot nearest the lift. But it's acceptable to head to the north side of the lot to park too. It means a minute or two more of walking to the chair, but it'd be easier to organize tailgating over there for lunch if people are interested. If the weather is nice, there's nothing better than sitting in your fold out chair in the parking lot for lunch, and you'll see lots of locals (cheap bastards that we are) doing the same. Wherever you decide to park, buy a ticket and head towards the chair. If you see someone with a carving board, introduce yourself. The weekend crew is rarely more than 8 people, so you'll figure out who's who quickly. Take a run or two on the slide side, then head to the main (Rose) side after 9:00 a.m. Randy is suggesting that we meet again at the top of the Northwest (Rose side) chair at 10:00 a.m. to pick up any stragglers. Barring all that, just holla if you see someone. Runs aren't that long and we frequently regroup at the top. Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
