Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is TO HAVE FUN!!!

And the easiest way to make that happen is to follow these simple steps:

(1) Send a PM to both 04SubieWRX -and- boardoholic. This CRUCIAL step is to confirm your spot on the roster. If you're not on the list, we can add & confirm you in one shot. In your PM, let us know which caravan you're planning to meet us at and how many in your party. A clear & concise post in the thread stating such is also acceptable. Thank you to those who have already replied to Confirmation Requests or posted your intentions since this helps us keep the roster updated.

(2) Book your room. To keeps costs reasonable, please feel free to enlist family & friends to join you -or- contact a fellow i-clubber fr the list to go in on this with you. While you can choose any lodging you wish, the Best Western Station House Inn is our unofficial HQ for the wknd. We realize that you might have your favorite place to stay or may have a strict budget. A few alternative accommodations have already been linked in the thread, so that's a great place to get started in your hunt. G' luck.

(3) Pre-purchase lift tickets. If you don't already have a season pass or "freebies" that others have somehow managed to score, the "Deals" page on http://www.slidingonthecheap.com/ is a great place to start. Craigslist is another great resource. Be weary of any restrictions & black-out dates. Of the 3 nearby resorts, the best "one day" deals are:

* Heavenly--$53.50 via the Zumiez 2-for-1 deal. Technically, the ticket itself will be $41, but one person has to buy the $25 gift pack at the store & just split up its goodies w/ another person (thus, also splitting the initial $25).

* Sierra --$58 via the Any Mountain kiosk pre-purchase. Note: The Sierra 3-pak ($49/ticket) is a cheaper deal. You'll get a ticket w/ your name printed on it to get 3 days (could be non-consecutive) @Sierra!). This is AWESOME if you know "100% for sure" that you can get 2 more days in before the season ends.

* Kirkwood --$55 via the Costco 2-pak. Go in on this w/ another person or use the 2nd ticket another day.

(4) Arrive fully fueled at the departure site nearest you; plan to show up 5-10 minutes before the designated "blast-off" time. We will take roll call fr the roster and plan to leave on time. Within days of the "launch" date, we will provide our contact info so that you can call to "catch up" with the group at some point should you miss the departure time.

(5) DRIVE SAFE. We cannot stress this enough! So we say again... DRIVE SAFE. *More on this later.

Here is the route for the inbound trip to South Lake Tahoe. (GoogleMaps: Kohl's...I-80E/B&N...BnM...Gondy@Hvnly)
Note: Heavenly is assumed as resort of choice for Day One. Should you opt for Sierra, it is about 25 minutes closer & also along this route off US-50.
