Riceball Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Anyone interested in me setting up a 1 day NES again this year? January 16 or 17? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 I'm going to try to make it out, put me down as 60% there. Hopefully for a couple days though. What do you guys think about riding Friday/Saturday or Sunday/Monday to try to miss some of the crowds? I'll be taking two days off work for travel anyway so it doesn't matter to me.

Riceball Posted October 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 I think the Friday/Saturday (Jan 15/16, 2010) is a great idea. I would certainly be up that. We could maybe even hook up at Sunshine on Sunday too. I'll wait for a few more comments and then send out an official post of the final dates.

Allee Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 I'm in. Especially for Sunshine on Sunday. :) Corey, if you're thinking of coming across and need a place to stay, just drop me a line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, my asthma/allergies will keep me away. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allee Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Uh oh! Two cats and three dogs - but that's why God invented antihistamines, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Gendzwill Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 I'm down for mid-January. The sooner we could nail down a date, the better, for those of us coming from out of town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waypastfast Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 I am in too! Nakiska is blowing snow as well speak...... http://www.skinakiska.com/conditions/mountain-cam.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Air Canada's current seat sale ends on Thursday. Do the sales come and go often? I don't watch them closely. Allee: Sorry, that's a deal-breaker for me, even with drugs. Thanks again though! I'll definitely try to grab rides from people to the hill. Or does the gang stay near the resort?

Allee Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Seat sales tend to be pretty random. You might luck in if you wait, you might not. Plus we can make sure you get a ride, at the very least - even if you are beast allergic :) Steve, try not to order the -26C rubbish you served us up last year too. Ryan and Freddy can't handle it.

korc Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 I thought the weather last year was great for riding. Harder pack snow, less ppl on the hill. I hope I can make it again this year. Had a blast at the last one. Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riceball Posted October 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 Based on comments received, the dates are now set. NES 2010 Friday, January 15 - Nakiska Saturday, January 16 - Nakiska Sunday, January 17 - Sunshine Please block off your Calendar now... I'll try and talk to the weather Gods and see if they'll give us something above -26C this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 Got final approval from my two girls and booked plane tickets with AirMiles! Woohoo! Any hotel suggestions that are on the West side of the city and inexpensive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Gendzwill Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 Wouldn't Canmore be handiest, especially headed to Sunshine on Sunday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allee Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 If you guys stay in Canmore, you'll miss the apres at Lloyd's Roller Rink. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riceball Posted October 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Sorry Corey, there is room at our place too, but we have a cat. Allison is right though... if you stay in Calgary, you can hook up with us for dinners and such. Don't worry, we'll get you to the mountains from here!

Laid Out Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 You Know I'm In unless the knees are out!! Steve count Wonser and I in! The more days the better!! Last year was a Freak'n hoot. Didn't even notice the cool weather it was so much fun. Man with the new high speed chair on gold we should be spent in no time!!

Riceball Posted October 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Glad to see you responded to the 2010 thread. I was a bit worried seeing you posted to the 2009 one. I'm excited for this year as I'll get a chance to bring my new Digital SLR and get some pics, if it's not too cold... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laid Out Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Have no fear of the cold, just ride harder and you will warm up:angryfire. You know how it goes, "Pin it you ferry!" You might need real thin inner gloves so you can opperate the camera and not freeze the fingers. Metal gets real cold, and I mean real cold on the hands fast. You should see if Jorg can make it out with the Euro so strong. He is a fun guy to ride with for sure. Darcy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puddy Tat Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 I'll be there for either the Saturday or the Sunday. Sporting a new Schtubby... uh right... maybe I should rephrase that. Dave edit. - Lost my place to stay and I can only take so many weekends away from the family. Sorry (-1). Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Gendzwill Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Allison is right though... if you stay in Calgary, you can hook up with us for dinners and such. Don't worry, we'll get you to the mountains from here!OK, so the decision has been made - I'm coming solo and will fly in, so I'm looking to get a lift to the hill. Where should I stay? I can get a really good deal downtown but maybe more convenient to get something on the way out of town?ETA: booked my flights, coming in Thursday evening, heading out around 8 pm Sunday, so should be able to enjoy 3 full days. Hope I can get out locally sometime earlier to shake a little rust off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
