snoboy Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 So, the rockheads have their rope up, what about the freshie-hunds? Someone wanna do a b/c kegger? Quote
AlpineK Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 Exactly! Somewhere with a nice flat(ish) approach to a campsite, so we can haul beer. Possibly off the Duffy Lake road..... Quote

iain Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 further south, you could also crash the Sunhogs annual Memorial Day party at North Sister in Oregon. For 20 years, groups have camped at treeline below the villard glacier. the requirements are simple: 1/2 case of beer minimum & lawnchair. the numbers have been dwindling apparently, so perhaps this could revive the cause.

ryland_moore Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 Or tell those od us training for Denali that it would be good for them to strap the keg to their sleds as part of their training! Quote
mattp Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 I'd say the Klipchuck Campground on Highway 20, the second weekend after they open Washington Pass, would be a good choice. There are tours of all ability levels off Highway 20. Quote
David_Parker Posted February 17, 2003 Posted February 17, 2003 I'd say the cabin on 10 acres in Mazama I have access to. As soon as the No. Cascade Hwy opens which should be very early this year. It's only 16 miles to the pass. Obviously not everyone can sleep in the cabin, but it's a great base camp with plenty of room for tents. Quote

AlpineK Posted February 18, 2003 Posted February 18, 2003 I hope you will have a little bit of space for a BC snow bunny novice or two! Just remember bc skiing still involves going uphill. Quote
allison Posted February 18, 2003 Posted February 18, 2003 Well, I still don't have any AT gear, but my BC snow skills are slowly coming along, and my lungs are a little healthier now. If I can't get it together to ski by the time the Snowpup happens I'm pretty happy to hop around on my snowshoes with other bunnies or do my own thing. Quote
jules Posted February 18, 2003 Posted February 18, 2003 Can we bring dogs? Just got back from 10th Mtn Div hut trip. The snow in Colorado is so incredibly beautiful. And dry. Wow. They told me, but I had to experience it to believe it. Wow. I have zero desire to ski in the Northwest right now. Too freakin' wet. Is it drier east of the mtns? I need to go to Colorado again. Quote
rat Posted February 18, 2003 Posted February 18, 2003 go back to colorado. leave your dog. we'll eat it. drink, spew, fight. Quote
jules Posted February 18, 2003 Posted February 18, 2003 (edited) Did I forget to mention a coupla feet of freshiez, and I didn't get mired down in it because it wasn't CONCRETE?! And 6 more inches the night before we left?! Although: Price of hut trip in guise of business trip: not much, and all expensed to company; Price of skiing at 11,000+ elevation for 3 days: not being able to sleep OR breathe well; Coming home to sea-level, oxygen-rich home in the Northwest: priceless.

AlpineK Posted February 18, 2003 Posted February 18, 2003 Yeah Colorado. Can sure suck folks in with their beautiful lifestyle. (puking icon) That place is a hellhole and should be a proving ground for the neutron bomb. As for snow they get a little bit of very nice snow with lots of extreem avy danger. Quote
nonanon Posted February 18, 2003 Posted February 18, 2003 My vote would go for a ski-in site. Corn camp is an art form. What works really well is a basin that drains to the North. That way you can ski the East facing walls early in the day and work your way around to the S. and W. aspects as they corn up. Around noon or so, when it all goes to slush, you go to work on the keg and party or power nap or whatever until the East facing walls start catching shade and setting up again. Then it’s time for the evening cocktail runs until the hills turn to ice and it's pardee time back at camp. Sleep, wash, rinse and repeat cycle. Ski times is good times. Quote
cman Posted February 18, 2003 Posted February 18, 2003 Go Cabin! the snow camping is great when you are getting way out there, but if you're going to have a party why not have a fire and some chairs and a keg and lots of food. besides, i only carry in whiskey. Quote
sk Posted February 18, 2003 Posted February 18, 2003 If it turns out to be possible because of date and location I would love to go and play in the snow Quote
