garyj Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Sierra Nevada Expression Session---Trifecta Brian (old snowboards.com) indicated that we should get the word out to our carving bothers and sisters up north. So here is an invitation to the SNES---Trifecta. Three mountains in three days, Mammoth, June, and Mt. Rose. This is a no fee, no tent, and no tee shirt carving event. Read more here:http://www.bomberonline.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=23586 Meeting times and places are as follows: Friday 3/20/09, Mammoth Mountain. Meet at bottom of chair 2 at 9am. Thicket purchases are available here. Mammoth opens at 830, and all runs surrounding chair 2 are perfect for warm ups as late riders show up. Saturday 3/21/09, June Mountain. Meet at top of Rainbow Ridge at 10am between chairs 6 and 4. Bodie and Gunsmoke are also great warm ups as later riders trickle in. Unlike Mammoth, June is an intimate resort, so it is easy to find the group if you show up later. Sunday 3/22/09, Mt. Rose. Meet at Slide Mtn/east bowl side at 830. Maybe Randy T can elaborate if needed. Everyone is invited to attend. All levels of terrain available. Just show up and ride! 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 P.S. if you only come down to Rose for the weekend, I'll be riding there on Saturday 3/21 too because my daughter will be ski racing there.
