David_Parker Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 (edited) The 6th annual Lloyd Keith Memorial Spring Ski fest is officially scheduled for May 1-3 at the same spot as usual. All skiers, boarders and climbers are welcome, although boarders will have an extra entrance fee to be determined at the time...probably must perform some trick or bring a special treat (alcholol!) This should be a stellar year and some awesome skiing! More information to come.....mark your calenders! Edited April 24, 2009 by David_Parker

David_Parker Posted April 28, 2009 Author Posted April 28, 2009 DIRECTIONS TO THE SPRING SKI FEST CAMPOUT LOCATION: Traveling east over WA Pass: The property/cabin is approx 4.5 miles past the turn off to Mazama on the North side of the road. It is also approx .8 miles before you cross the Wyman bridge over the Methow river where the Goat Creek rd. merges. (so traveling w. on Hwy 20 look for it on the right about .8 miles after crossing it) There is a metal gate which is now locked. The fencing is zig-zag style stacked railing. If you intend to arrive before Friday evening sometime, please call me at 206-714-4300 for the combo. You do not need a SUV to get in. Any regular car is fine. The driveway meanders back into the woods. The tent camping area is accessed via the left at the fork when you see the cabin. Bring drinking water or expect to hike 1/4 mile to the river to get it. There is a hand pump well, but the water has some iron in it. Also, bring fire wood if you can. All I ask is that you leave the property in better condition than we found it!
RocNoggin Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 I have a ride up to the pass on Fri but looking for a ride down to the camping that night and back to Seattle at the end of the weekend. anybody have some extra room? will share the cost of gas! Brian :-)
ewhack Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 I will be in the area Friday, but have to leave Sat morning. Anyone going to ski early Fri?
RocNoggin Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 skiing the Birthday traverse on Fri, we have 4 or 5 in our group so far, more are welcome to join us. leaving Seattle around 0530 or 0600 Friday. car pool? caravan? meet at Blue Lake TH?
mattp Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 I'm on the fence about attending but if someone wants to drive over on Friday night and return Sunday, that'd help tip me toward going because I'd win extra points with my wife if I left the car home. I'm looking for cragging and last weekend bought Bryan's new guidebook which looks like it offers some good lowland ideas. Has anybody been up to Fire Wall?
ken4ord Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 Hope you guys are having a good time, one of these days I hope to make it.
mattp Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 Damn nice cragging over there! Thes shots were taken yesterday at Prospector Wall: 112 following Ingenue OffWhite leading PointMan 112 leading Borrowed Time
AlpineK Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 Yep there's nice cragging, but let's talk skiing. Freshiez
Off_White Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 It's a floor wax AND a dessert topping! Looks like you guys got to the saddle you were aiming for. Sunday was a pretty gorgeous day, wasn't it. Huge thanks again to David for hosting this thing for seven (!) years now. It was great to put some names to faces, great bunch of people.
moira armen Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 Hey, it was fun to meet a few of you and get some faces to put to names. Glad you got good weather on Sunday, we got some nice turns down further south, too. I'll have to try to make it back again next year!
