CC.COM Spring Ski Fiesta

[mattp]

May 13 is the full moon. I'm thinking Friday, Saturday, SUnday May 12-14 might be a good weekend for the spring ski campout. The DOT says the highway is supposed to open by "the end of April" so that gives time to be sure. Ideas?

[Weekend_Climberz]

I could definately swing this. What's the locale? Somewhere near WA Pass?

[mattp]

Yes it will be over the other side of Washington Pass, either at a campground or a private cabin near Mazama. We have not fully firmed up everything, but I thought early notice would be beneficial. Here's alpine K's picture from the 2004 event:

And here's a shot that I belive Scott Johnson took on the chute above the Liberty Bell hairpin.

Sunday's mutha's day.

It's cool if you bring your mom. [insert derogatory mother joke here]

[mattp]

Hmm. We could move up a week, but we'd miss the moon. Maybe that's OK, though. Who needs a damn moon when you have a bonfire?

[AlpineK]

Make Halmark happy and send your mom a card. Then come skiing.

[gapertimmy]

regardless of weekend i'll be there this year.

[Billygoat]

I will try as well, although I am 0 for 3

Matt's w/e (12-14) would work really well for me.

 

Those pics make my heart beat faster...

[Dave_Schuldt]

STOKE!!!!

[kimbo]

Hey fellow nords! I heard about the Mother's day event and I'm thinkin' it sounds like a festival for sure. Hope to see you all up there.

[chris]

[Figger_Eight]

[Dr_Crash]

I have my kids that weekend. If it's one week early, I'd be interested for sure.

We are clear to use the cabin and camping site in Mazama as we did for the first 2 CC spring ski fests. As you unofficial host (I do not actually own the property) the weekend of 12-14 works for me. I encourage all moms to attend. There is lots to do other than skiing! I also approve parents with children attending at their own risk of exposure to drinking skiiers around a bonfire. If children are present, I ask any smokers of various substances to be discreet.

 

Once again, I will order a porta-potty to be on site. The owner of the property is very gracious to allow this event to take place and so we owe the respect of leaving it in better condition than we find it. It appears he and his wife will actually be there this year (Saturday night) and so you will have the opportunity to thank him in person!

 

We will need firewood and you should be responsible for your own food and barbque supplies. We have at least two large webber grills. Also, there is a hand pump well, but the water is rusty so your option is to bring lots yourself or walk the 1/4 mile to the river with a container.

 

Folks are free to arrive on Friday night if they wish. I will post directions once the date is finalized.

[EWolfe]

I'm in this year.

 

Thanks for getting the spot, David. That place is way cool.

[RogerJ]

Anyone from Portland planning on going? I'd carpool.

[gapertimmy]

roger i'll be rolling up from bend, but via hwy 97. if you meet me in bigs junction you can hitch a ride.

[Camilo]

I'm hoping to go from PDX, and have a car. It would save gas to jump in with you in Biggs, Timmy.

[RogerJ]

Thanks guys. I'm going to work on the schedule to hopefully make this happen.

[gapertimmy]

If I can recruit some other gapers from bend to roll up, i might not have room but lets keep the option open and talk more as it gets closer. come on CO represent!!!

[John Frieh]

Kegs? If I go I'll be climbing. Carpool from PDX is an option.
