Hey guys... who's in for the yearly trip this year? Weekend of st. patty's again. March 16/17th I think it is.

We need to get plans rolling. I'm gonna try and do 4 days.

 

Hey count me in is this riding at bear? I'll bring tons of brew for y'all to try. I ski but pretty much roll with boarders. Just don't be mad that I get off the lifts faster.

 

I'm going march 14th th 17th!! Already got my room! Prices will be crazy so the sooner the beetter

 

Yeah. It's our annual trip up to my place.

Right now all I know for sure is that I'm in and my little brother is in.

I think Justin (bluwrxwgn) is in. My buddy Todd might be coming up. Waiting to hear back from my buddy Nick. Hopefully Cliff and Little Jeff will come again.

The other Jeff (Ipozestu) is out. He's gotta work.

Keep your eyes out for details.

We'll figure out who's bring what and who's going up when in the next week.

I've got space for 3 people and their gear in my wagon.

 

Tahoe?

We'll be up at Bear Valley at my place. This will be year 9 I think. LOL!

 

Ha! Earlier this afternoon, I was just thinking of contacting ya about the trip, Ray. Looks like our PowderHound-senses are starting to sync up. Now we'll just need that badly-needed dose of freshies.

So yeah, count me in for the 9th annual. While I'd kill to do more than 2 days, I can only shred on Sat & Sun. I can roll up on Fri by 1pm, then head back on Sun evening.

Btw, da two-planker Steve(SR20steve) is good peeps. As he said, he usually rips it up w/ the knuckle-draggers w/ the Tahoe Local Pass.

 

Yea Cliff like I was saying I been wanting to ski bear, should be hella fun.

 

Yeah we've talked before. If he's down he's welcome. That's how I met most of you ******* anyways... come and ride... and drink... and ride... and eat. LOL!

Need to reach out to lil jeff. Cell phone is up in the bedroom.

We'll just have to figure out who is going when and who's riding with who.
I'm actually moving so I don't know for sure if I can do the 4 days either. It's smack dab in the middle of moving and my wife is pretty pissed with me.

So some of you guys might have to come help me move. LOL!

I need to dial in a plan with Justin.

One thing I'm considering is taking friday and monday off. I'll work a shorter day on thursday. Blast out a little early. Pick up my daughter and get dinner with the wifer in town. Blast on out at a reasonable hour. Ride Friday/Sat/Sunday and depending on the conditions ride for a few hours on monday. Head home way early... like noon. Just prepack and blast straight down. Get back to the house by 4 or so. Pack until the wife gets home and then crash out early.

If conditions suck I can just head home monday morning and pack all day.

Got a **** load of work to do... **** load.

Tomorrow I'm going to try and sell some crap out of the house and start packing up the basement and the garage. Bust hump on Sat all day. Bust hump on Sunday all day. If I can make a big enough dent this weekend maybe the wife will relax a little bit.





So yeah... updated list...

Me (3-4 days)
Jordan (2-3 days)
Justin (3-4 days)
Cliff (2 days and a long friday)
Steve
Todd (maybe 2 days)
Nick (maybe 2 days)
Lil Jeff (hopefully he'll make it)


We should have a solid crew this year. If no one is up to go to Murphy's for patty's day we could always walk to white pines. That's always a good time. Make that the only night we go out. Stay in and do the usual the other nights.



We'll figure out the food/drink plan as we get closer. Lots of folks including me are on a budget so it might not be a bad idea to do the keg thing again or just have everyone bring a couple cases and we'll just stay in. I'm fine to run the grill on sat night. Woot.

Friday probably be a brewery and shopping night?
Sat/Sun breakfast at home. Sat/Sun pack lunches.
Sat night bbq at home.
Sunday night most folks will be heading home. Those that end up staying can either hit giant burger or throw in on some pizza.

Rides...
Me and Justin probably roll together.
Jordan will probably roll up solo after work. If Nick comes I'd venture to guess that he'd jump in with Jordan... if not then maybe Todd. That's what happened last time todd came.
Cliff coming up early friday so if anyone is on the same schedule as him they can roll together.


Once we get up there we'll try to keep it to 2 cars heading up the hill and just combo and gas. Save dough.

I've got no racks so I'm only good for 3 heads. But I have a full rack set up for a wagon that has rails...

 

Looking forward to it. I'll show you ancient chinese secrets. If our combined snow dances pay of again you'll fall in love with bear valley. I guarantee.


Everyone bring cameras. We should be able to roll with a minimum of 3.

 

I was thinking white pines, my wallet may disagree with me, but damn it is fun times.

 

well we can always start at home and walk down.... get a later start.

Last time it was like 8-2... that's too long to be in a bar. LOL!

 

I keg my homebrew in 5 gallon corny kegs if you want me to bring one with a picnic tap. I have a German hefe ready to rack but I'm gonna brew this weekend prolly this real hoppy Vienna/ honey malt APA I been brewing that I've been real happy how it's turned out. Me and my roomie smashed through 10 gallons in like 2 weeks lol.

 

I'd like to get in on this. My folks have a place in dorrington so I know bear like the back of my hand. Been waiting to get up to bear this year and hopefully that weekend will be killer as per every other year. Room for one more at the pad? I could always meet you fine gents at the lodge but that always proves to be a PITA. Any ladies coming on this trip or is this a dudes only adventure?

 

Dudes only. Can get ruckus. I seem to remember a torn goody and me choking my brother out one year... all in fun though.

We have beds for 5. Couch for 3. Pads for 3.

Should be cool.

Steve... that honey sounds bomb!

This trip is the ****. Made life long friends through it.

 

Cool, just making sure I know what to tell the lady when she asks. PMing now for more details.
