Mr. Right

So should we consider this a non-regional meet and more of a snowboardingforum.com meet? It'd be nice to see 50+ members maul a mountain for 4 days to a week. Not to be partial but Colorado would be the most centrally located for a massive nationwide member meet up.

I'm new to the sport, new to the forums, but I am DOWN for a west coast meet. I'd be happy to fly down (vacation time permitting) to meet and board with people.

Of course, if any of you damn yankees want to make your way north to Whistler/Blackcomb or somewhere else, I'd be cool with that, too.

Mr. Right

There is an east coast meet going on soon if it hasn't already happened. I have already put out the word on trying to find larger scale lodging for next year IF we go to Wolf Creek. I haven't heard many suggestions so far nor many people saying they are in. I think I will pretty much need to know everyone that is in by January next year so this thing can be full swing and not flop March 2009. No offense to anyone on this forum but this is not going to be the type of trip where I will accept "I could probably make it," or "Let me know when you guys head out" a month before the trip, everyone must be in full commitment atleast 3 months before the trip. If we have a place and a plan we can not afford to have 6 people drop out raising costs for everyone when it comes to lodging, possibly tickets, and maybe even transportation at the last second. Other than that, anyone and everyone here is invited and bring friends.

You all know the Rockies and the Great Basin are not the west coast? That would be the Serrias and Cascades.

my wife and i are total newbies, but sw co, and nm are about the only places we can drive to. Wolf Creek is definitely on our list of places to check out. We won't be keepin up with y'all but having a friendly face around helps us newbies out quite a bit. I'll be keepin an eye on this thread for sure.

I'm sure we can still setup a small meet for the End of March... It wouldn't be as co-ordinated with a chalet and such, but we could all book rooms at a local hostel or something cheap like a motel, and do it up with, say 4-6 people.

killclimbz, would the resorts that start at 8k elevation still be good around then? I would love to come out on our Easter weekend (March 21-24) but I might have to work, so I'm thinking the weekend after... short trip; maybe 3 days riding, two days travelling. I wanna get out west this year, and going to Colorado may be cheaper than going to Calgary or whistler... (thank god for South West Airlines )

i've got a trip planned for loveland with 4/5 friends for march 10-14. we're staying in georgetown, so wolf creek is probably out of reach for us. let me know if you'll be more towards our area.

kri$shan, sorry I missed your question. Most of the resorts near the Denver area start at 9k ft and yes they should be fine. We have a little bit of a break in the snow right now, but late March and early April tend to bring some good sized dumps. The snowpack is at it's deepest and the days are warmer. Some of the best weather you can have is during that time.
