Dan Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 I put myself down as "maybe, hard to tell" but actually I think the idea of an Tahoe/Reno event is fantastic. The costs associated with SES are a significant disincentive for me: lodging plus car rental adds up. If we were based in Reno, we could stay at a cheap casino hotel, and there seem to be enough ski buses that rental cars wouldn't even be necessary. And hey, nickel slots!

nekdut Posted September 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 It seemed like the original interest was the super grooming that they have at June. Is this going to be a TC-meet instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Randy S. Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 I liked the idea of coming down to Mammoth/June. It might also be fun to do a combined Tahoe and Mammoth version. Of course then all the TC folks will argue whether to do it at Alpine, Squaw, Northstar, Rose, Heavenly or Kirkwood. Nekdut, you started it. Just take the reigns and go with it. If you build it, they will come (most likely). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Randy S. Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Also don't forget to contact Sean at Donek about getting demo boards. It should be easy in April. If you want to deal with the issues of mounting bindings, you might also talk to Fin about demo TDs. And I think Prior has a demo fleet. You'll never make everyone happy, so just go with what you think is best and see where it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekdut Posted September 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Okay, April 7, 8 and 9. Mammoth and June Mountains. I will get in contact with the mountain regarding group pricing, as well as Sean, Fin, Chris and anyone else who would consider sponsoring our gathering. On hill lodging is a pricey affair, but I'll get prices for those who are interested. In town condos and hotels will be much more affordable. I've seen demo tents set up at the bottom Chair 2/Stump Alley often, so that would probably be a good meeting place. It would probably be a more difficult affair at June with their mid-lodge situation, but perhaps we could arrange transport of the demo gear up past lower June. I would appreciate any assistance that I can get with this as I am not a Mammoth local (300 miles away ) but I should be there more than 30 days this season.

trikerdad Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 I'm with the PW (Randy), pick a date and a place. Anyone on the fence, like me, would rather have firm information to work with than something that keeps changing trying to accomadate everyone.

dr. sandman Posted September 24, 2005 Report Share Posted September 24, 2005 Okay, April 7, 8 and 9. Mammoth and June Mountains.I would appreciate any assistance that I can get with this as I am not a Mammoth local (300 miles away ) but I should be there more than 30 days this season. Not sure what I can do, I'm hoping I might be able to ride by then. I grew up in Bridgeport (50 mi north on US395) so am very familiar with the area, however since I live as far north as you (nekdut) live south, it will be a challenge for me also (it's also safe to say that you get there way more often than I do). My brother still lives in Bridgeport - I will see if he knows any one who might have some inside lines at either resort. Let me know if I can help, I will do what I can. p.s. I would think June would be more than willing to run gear up the first hill via service vehicle or utility chair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A quick check of June Lake area shows some fairly reasonable lodging, however the night life won't offer near what Mammoth Lakes has to offer.

nekdut Posted September 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Just got off of the phone with Sean. Donek is on board for demos. Also I've gotten a hold of Chris, and we are trying to work out Prior demos as well. I'll get some lodging and lift ticket options soon. Regarding the schedule, I was thinking the following: Fri Apr 7: Mammoth for a day of carving (less crowds) Sat: June Sun: June or Mammoth depending on weather/crowds and lift ticket pricing. Hopefully we can get in some time at one of the local pubs on Friday and Saturday evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdboytyler Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 I'm in for April 7, 8 and 9th I can help ship back the demos to the respective sponsors. We could take up a collection to pay for the return shipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miltie Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Yo Nekdut, I am in as long as my remodeling is done! One other dude from work will probably join. Take care and thanks for putting this together. I am sure it will be a lot of work. Tom P.S. Let's go grab lunch sometime next week (I'm in KY through this Fri.)
