two_ravens Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Just cancelled Christmas at Schweitzer. :( But still have that 3pack of tickets that will need to be used - I'll see if I can take vacation days in Jan. Snow dance! Snow dance! Snow dance! http://vimeo.com/114382573 Now I can't get that song out of my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
two_ravens Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 I'm thinking of a quick trip up north for NICE - ride Jan 22, 23, 24. What do you have for lodging discounts? I will be with dog and I'm looking at Motel 6 or Days Inn, both about $50/night. Do you guys have something better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) Hey Two Ravens, I'm looking at renting a house through VRBO.com. Per-night cost is likely to be pretty similar to Motel 6 (though we could do a bit better if we get more people), but having stayed in those hotels, a house should be nicer and more fun. I'll PM you the listings that I'm looking at, let me know if you're interested. I'm looking at dog-friendly properties, with a mix of private rooms and multi-bed rooms, staying Jan. 21 -- 24.

Dan Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 If anyone else might be interested in staying in a shared house, let me know. I'm primarily looking in town, which is not ski-in/ski-out, but is close to bars, restaurants, and the grocery store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sultan Guy Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Looks like I got my weeks screwed up and will unfortunately be on east coast the week of NICE 2015. You guys have fun. On the plus side it looks like I may get TWO brief visits to CO this winter for business and will bring along a board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
two_ravens Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Dan, I was just sitting down at the computer last night to pull the plug on the NICE trip and see if anyone wanted to buy my tickets - when I saw your message. So I thought about it for another day and crunched numbers again - but I really don't have the money or energy to be traveling again so soon after Christmas. So.... thank you for the kind offer. I really do want to make it up for NICE - always looks like an awesome gathering. It will be on the top of my list for next year..... Once again, I'll just be looking at the cool pictures. Have fun, do a turn for me please!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kram Posted January 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Dan thanks for stepping up and taking care of the house thing. I appreciate it. The snow we get this week will groom down nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 OK, for anyone who's thinking about joining us, here's the rental house we have lined up: http://www.vrbo.com/930048ha We have it reserved Wednesday January 21 through Sunday January 25th (leaving the 25th). It's a good deal: $236 apiece for the 4 people staying there now. It's a huge house, and there's definitely room for more, so let me know if you're interested. If we can get 2 more people, everyone only pays $200 apiece: beats the hell out of the hotels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kram Posted January 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Do to the lame early load turnout last year. (6 out of 20 got out of bed) and the lack of interest this year the mountain pulled the plug on the early loads for this year. They are still giving us 20% off on lift tickets and free Nastar with snowboard gates on Saturday and Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kram Posted January 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Thing are falling into place. We have been getting snow with some more on the way and some sun later in the week. We pick up the T shirts on Tuesday. BBQing on mountain at the bottom of the triple chair lift on Thursday. Friday we have the mountain photographer setting up on a run of our choice. Dan has rented a house in Sandpoint that sleeps 20. Were going to have a good time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pusbag Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 How many rooms are left at house there Dan? I want to stay and so do a friend and photographer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) Hey Russ, awesome! There are 6 bedrooms (!) and 12 beds, so some people won't have their own room, but everyone gets their own bed. We have the house from tomorrow night through Saturday night; check out is 10 a.m. Sunday. I'll let the owner know and get back to you on the exact cost (she charges on a sliding scale for each additional person), but it should be about $200 apiece. Please PM me the first/last names of the people in your group ASAP -- the owner requires that information. Also, there is a hot tub, so bring a swimsuit! One question for the Schweitzer guys: should I bring a rock board, or is coverage on the groom pretty good?

Pusbag Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Coverage is good. Will text you the other info Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kram Posted January 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Today was one of those days you should have been there. I think probably the best grooming of the year (i know that’s not saying a whole lot but it is getting better) and under sunny skies too. Took some runs with John and Dale and saw one other hardbooter that I did not know. Tomorrow's weather looks the same as today, same crew plus 2. Thursday 9 or 10 carvers expected. I have the discount ticket vouchers in my coat so if you show up unexpected you need to hunt me or one off the other locals down. mark 610-6131 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kram Posted March 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 It is way better than you think. I have been up every day since I got back from Oregon. Our made made snow and our grooming is fabulous. And the new snow we got last night helped a ton. Tomorrow is going to be even better.
