I think there are certain mods and members who won't show up. If you wanna go figure out your own reservations. This shit cost me out the ass last year. I'm going and Im gonna pay, do so if you feel like going and don't back out.....

Fine, don't go. We aren't all blessed with your perfection and I agree meets are over rated. It's nice to ride tons of demos and ride as many days as you but I don't give a fuck. Do what you want you were not invited, but you can go if you want. You are a review god! but kind of a prick. Take your day trips and if you want to ride with non-elitist people and come back down to earth contact us. We are cool people but not the PRO you seem to be.

^ It's pretty funny since I've actually met you at a demo and set you up. Just stating meets are over rated be far easier to just say hey heading here this day who's around vs all the fucking planning that goes into it and people seeming to always get screwed. But hey if you want to be a douche go for it.

Not trying to be a douche, sorry had a little bit of a buzz on last night. I think it would be cool if people from CO could actually SHOW UP. Meets wouldn't be overrated if people were reliable. When did you meet me? What did I demo that you set me up with? Do you work for K2?

We should totally do a mini meet. Somewhere in the front range circus. I am not getting a pass this year so I am flexible on what ever resort. Especially if there are some lift ticket deals to be had.

I'd also be willing to take a small group out at Bert or Vail Pass. BurtonAvenger has done Vail Pass before and I think he would confirm the super fun terrain there. Snowshoes would be needed and of course basic avy gear. Which can be rented. Overall though it's pretty easy to stay out of trouble there. Berthoud is just a world class area. Plenty of great stuff to do and you can do the boot pack stuff easy enough. In a storm cycle, there is plenty to go around at that place. Also an easy place to stay out of trouble. Still want the basic avy gear and such. Just throwing it out there.

Loveland would probably be my choice for a resort day. I haven't ridden there mid season in years, and it is such a fun place. It would be good to get reaquainted with the area.

Mr. Right,

You are quite the out-spoken prick on these boards.........rightfully so! haha. Opinions are like assholes on this board and everyone's got one. You just have it to call people out on their doucheness (not that Avenger is a douche). I've met you in real-life and you're (and Greenthumb) a good shit. If I make my way back to Colorado, I will surely make a trek to check-out this Loveland place that you all speak so highly of. We'll be in-touch.

As for meets, yeah, getting people to actually show is very difficult, people can be very unreliable! That being said, we all have our moments I am the first to say that my timing is never good.

You know.....I treat peeps right when I do. I am a prick too. I know that, and every ex girlfriend I have will agree. My timing is good when I feel like it is lol. Im glad you had a good time off those tix I set you up with. THankx for the beers that day! Still got the same place, just a different girl lol

You know where I live, still have the hooks on those tix too......

Preach-on, brother. Tis the way life is meant to be!

Still got the hook, eh? So the ex is still on good terms? Mid-January is either Utah or CO, I'll be in-touch.

That out of bounds area was sick....Im in for whenever you guys go back to Wolf Creek. I need a few weeks notice now since I'm FINALLY working. My days off change every week too, so I can still get weekday trips in. I'm still debating where I'm going to buy a pass this year. I'll probably wind up with Loveland and maybe a WP four pass. How have you guys been? Where the hell did Rich go? Since I'm down here in the Springs now I've sent him a couple emails.... Does he hibernate in the summer?

He rides his mountain bike and goes to Moab and shit. I still talk to him sometimes. Shit I've only seen Bobby a couple times this summer. I usually spend all my time getting drunk, playing pool, and chasing girls at the bar during the summer lol. We all kind of come back together when winter starts. If I go to Wolf Creek this winter it's going to be a spur of the moment trip when I hear they are getting nuked, too much work to plan a trip that far in advance and show up to no snow for a week.

Half of the time even that seems too much for people. I can`t tell you the number of times I have planned on meeting up with someone just to take a few turns (not even the whole day) and they can`t seem to figure out what "11:00 AM at the bottom of Mt. Hood Express" means....:dunno: Another reason why I prefer to ride alone in most cases...people are basically a pain in the ass....:laugh:
Yup, same here..but i do it more because i have no one really to go with ...
Last season i got my friend all back into snowboarding, him and another guy i work with were all hyped up and wanted to get season passes.

Time comes around for 4x4 and of course they chicken shit out...atleast the guy i always go with who ski's(we cant all be perfect! :) is a huge pow head and has no problems taking days off work. Unfortunately hes been skiing his entire life, and is waaaay advanced past me. We always do the first run or so together but i dont expect him to wait around for me at the lift all the time.

I'd still like to get some runs in with you some day this season, and Flick too although he seems AWOL lately...

yo, if i make it out to colorado this season i'll be sure to let e'ryone out there know! of course, i've gotta check the show schedule & see what's poppin' to try & kill two birds w/ one stone :D maybe even pull KC out to a show w/ me one night!!

i prefer to ride in smaller groups or alone, but when visiting a new resort i'd rather ride w/ a local who knows where all the hot spots are. last time i came to CO i rode w/ an EC transplant that rides Copper. we had a great day of riding & it was great to see him again. then we were supposed to ride WP w/ (for all who know her) aww, fuck i forgot her name. that one girl. that works at WP. anyway, she met up w/ us in denver for the cheese shows & gratefully utilized the hotie i offered her in exchange for passes to WP, but then canceled on riding w/ us & only got us 1 pass. schwag!

so yeah, always down to ride w/ a local!

chances are, i won't be coming till the end of the season though. i'll try to make it for jan or feb, but it may be more like march when i actually get out there. my bro just went to cali & had bought his tickets way in advance & got a round trip for close to $200! so i'll try & do that. need to get a jobby job though. think i'm gonna go to cheesecake factory today & try to slang some food for a minute to make some cash till i find a better job. so we'll see! definitely no EC meet for me this year. that shit was way too crowded last year & will be even more so this year. i like my events to be more intimate ;)

haha.

I don't know if you will catch me on the mountain very often with that pass, I ride Loveland mostly unless I take a trip to Monarch, Wolf Creek etc. Not a fan of the summit resorts for the most part. Ill hit A-Ba once all the lifts are open and they have a good base. That place is a shit show in the early season.
