I want to start this off first by saying that it is absolutely not my intention at all to step on the already planned East Coast event

BUT for those who can't make it to the east coast for whatever reason, it seems its come up as an interest to maybe have some type of West Coast meet? Like Mammoth, CA since a lot of other forum members seem to be going there sometime this year. Just wondering who would be interested, and what people's input would be on this. I'm not the best organizer, just wanted to stir up the pot and see if there were other people that were also interested in making this a possibility?

Actually that is not a bad package for that time of year....You could try another time of the year and if you can get in good with the resort and show them your sincerity in making this work they might break the 20 person rule if they have openings (again other than this busy week you picked). However like I always say if your cheap stay home if you really love snow and fun and being around others of the same likings this type of package would be great! Hell I might even go if you could put something together...

The real trick to these types of events is being able to organize, coordinate, communicate and implement what you say you will do with the resort and others who are going. The sign up process has to be easy and money transfers as well...

And if you dont get 20 no big deal Hell I started with 10 people six years ago.
Just keep at it and you will be fine:thumbsup:

Ohhh and here lol..throw up a pic every now and then...Who knows a new member might read this, see some photos and want to ride a place like Mammoth.....



It will grow and people will want to come back if you put in the effort that shows that...

Thanks for the reply! Yeah this is during spring break so there are most definitely cheaper dates! Thank you for the advice, I will ask if they can make exceptions for the group discount rule. I'll keep everything you said in mind, thanks again.

I would just plan for what is easiest for you to do. This is a huge undertaking for anyone.

If you do go for Tahoe. There are deals to be found. You'd have to stay away from the big boys. Squaw, Alpine, Heavenly, Kirkwood, but places like Sugar Bowl, Sierra, and Homewood you may find good deals for. You might find something for Kirkwood, but since Vail took it over, I wouldn't be very hopeful.

Sounds good, I'll look around and make comparisons and let you guys see the results once I get replies from the sales offices from Squaw and other Tahoe resorts. Thanks for the heads up

Maybe you just want to go for Squaw, but that is a resort that I wouldn't expect a good deal from. Squallywood don't need to offer big discounts. Then again they own half of Olympic Valley, so maybe good deals could be had with them. It's a very busy resort though. I'd go for Kirkwood over Squaw for a trip. Squaw is legendary for a reason though. It also does put you very close to everything on the North shore too.

more stoke :D




we can also call this one "waiting for the top to open"

it dumped 3 feet the night before and patrol was still bombing. If you look you can see the gondi and ch 23 to the top.



main park. There was a competition that day.

The town of June is pretty close right? Since June mountain is not going to be running the lodging operators around there are probably going to be pretty desperate to book their accommodations. I bet you can get some screaming deals there. You might even find lift ticket deals for Mammoth through them. If they are not in a pissing match with Mammoth over the whole June debacle.

its a bit of a drive. 25 or so miles. it would really, really suck with chains. if it's not snowing you're good. but you never know.

June employee housing was in Mammoth and there was a shuttle between the two. Non employees could ride for 15 bux round trip. So it meant getting up super early to catch the bus and then sitting on the bus with lifties. I've taken the bus from mammoth to june in a storm. Riding a bus with chains is GOOD TIMES!

I have a feeling bus service is going to be discontinued this season :( With AWD it won't be bad but gas is currently 4.79 a gallon in LA. Im sure it's even more in the sierras.
