Whats up with the $20 beginner special....does that include the gear and lift ticket? I'm kinda broke at teh moment but I'd love to ride out there.

Joe

 

Snow n00b? I said this is the first season I am going to snow-board. For the last 5 years I have yet to see a california run I can't shred on skiis.


So my friend from SLO called, and it looks liek we will be going to MT. Rose on Sat, staing the night down in Reno and returning Sunday afternoon (I gamble too much).

Mt. Rose is sweet, and has a high base so the elevation helps with tha snow vs. rain issue.

 

yup, 20 bux gets ya your gear, beginner lift ticket & 2 hr lesson! and, as a buncha us recommended already, take the lesson, esp. if it's your 1st time or you've gone only a handful of times & that was a while back. it'll definitely allow for some constructive input to help speed up your learning.

*edit*
joe, this should help ya. i posted this on another thread where someone was asking how much boardin' would run.

 

like i said, "(no offense)"

but to be technical ya just said ya never snowboarded. i just assumed that you've never skiied or anything as well. and we all know what happens when we ***-u-me.

rose is pretty sweet. lucky you, b/c when you're done, that road to reno is a fun but short drive. hope ya get bit hard like me by the snowboard bug!

 

hello hello
yah, we should just meet around dublin/pleasonton and go from there picking up ppl along the way haha
but plan on meeting early.. like around 6:00?

 

hey dave...looks like i cant make it to this drive. im sick, and i just found out that finals are next week.
damnit its not very nice waking up in the middle of class to hear that finals are next week.
everyone drive safe and have fun.

 

You're links were useful but I couldn't find anything about the $20 special @ Mt. Rose. Is this promotion something I should make a reservation for or can I just roll up with the rest of yall and a couple of friends then get the deal? I would definitately like to check it out!
Joe

Well Kirkwood is "reporting" 2' of fresh by Sunday...so it looks like the WOOD for me! It's deep (far) but the Wood rocks large for steeps and the lightest snow in the Sierras!

You guys all have fun and be careful of unmarked obstacles if you venture off-piste`. Don't want any core shots this early in the season.

 

a friend of mine is going up there this weekend (on the 6th) and he and his friend will also be in a WRX. leaving around the same time. I told him to keep his eyes out for a bunch of subies.

have fun, who evers going.
