Dates of CO mini - suggestions needed

[Below Zero]

So when do you think we should have a CO mini this year? Are we thinking Abasin in mid-May, similiar to last year, or try to have it at another resort during prime season? I'll help organize.

Discuss.

[Dr. Gaper]

Ski Cooper.

[jonski]

Before end of April when I head down under.....Basin sounds good though....

[marshalolson]

it must be the basin. period.

april or before.

other than that, BZ is officially in charge, considering the last one was a "success"

[Z]

basin. may. beer. the claw. boobies.

[marshalolson]

if its in may it has to be between may 10th and may 15th if i am going to attend

[Below Zero]

basin. may. beer. the claw. boobies.

You forgot: epic beaters, joints, beer pong, parking lot skiing, gaper ski destruction...etc. :biggrin:

[GFP]

basin. may. beer. the claw. boobies.
what he said. :yourock: worked last year.

Edit: snowfire and I have the comp hook-up as always. So fear not you broke-ass, no-pass-hold'n, couch-surfing, car-camping CO ski bums. :biggrin:

[Shredhead]

Why don't you get something going for the X games?

Why don't you get something going for the X games?

Too crowded down there at that time and too expensive for most.

[MOHSHSIHd]

Late April.......we have finals in early may this year Z :frown:

the basin obviously....it cant be anywhere else...this is a fact...

Since we stayed till near dark last year we might as well do it as an overnighter, after beaching we will move to the upper lot and continue the festivities....

[Shredhead]

Only crowds are at the event and concerts.

They have to sleep somewhere though, just like most of us would have to.

[MOHSHSIHd]

yeah, most of us are cheap beaters.....i dont think Aspen would be feasible...

[Telekóptero]

Basin. No question.

hmm. . .since snows so FREAKIN GOOD here, my vote is officially feb or early march.

Actually, a Kong rocks maggot descent would be hella fun. jump would weed out hi numbers, obviously.

this year's the year baby. . who is down for this? would be a non-ego environment pre huck. For pure fun, as it's a rather committing drop and i'd hate to see anyone get pulped. been wanting to do this for years! hot damn, who's possibly in, conditions permitting?

P.S. I selfishly request no mini on March 2-6 as that's the tele extremes comps in Alpine Meadows and i'd hate to miss all you filthy stinking tripe. cheers.


One couch and one floor spot available for maggotdom. Must bring your manners (2 chicks for roommates, yes they're taken), and would love to see any ski porn i've not yet seen. cheers.

[Summit]

he last one was a "success"
so was the one before that ;)

[lemon boy]

Holy christ dude, that's quite a list you assembled. I am a definite have no idea at all what I'll be doing that far in advance.

As for Telekoptero's idea: NO THANKS. But if you're serious I might suggest you start a self styled skipacking campaign in there, in 96 a guy basically cut himself in half upon "landing" Kong, shark city.

[smmokan]

Hey BZ, I live in Colorado and didn't make the list. I guess I'm not invited.

[Below Zero]

Oops sorry about that. I know you are from CO. Everyone is invited. I hope we get alot of people to the event this year. It's going to be fun.

[smmokan]

I know, I was just fucking around. I'll be there, assuming I'm in town.

[The Dude]

I'll be there, barring family stuff back in Ohio.

[mtnbikerskierchick]

April or May, A-basin. Perfect for beach, boobs, and booze.

[snowfire]

I will be in attendance. My boobs will not be. But my mad steeze will be there as well so that should make up for it. :p

Oh yeah, Telekoptero....heeeelllll no way am I jumping off Kong Rocks! That shit is big, I'd kill myself. :eek: I'll take pictures and laugh at all you beaters. ;)

[Yossarian]

you're leaving your boobs at home? What a shame!
I'll be there, boobs and all.

[Below Zero]

Everyone is invited.

I'm sorry, I think I need to clarify. Boobs are invited also, actually they are encouraged! :cool:

[SheRa]

I have been thinking about a mini at Crested Butte. Like the last weekend they are open or the one just before that. April. Prices go down, the base is there.

There should be a Colorado mini every month. Seeing all those maggots at Berthoud to welcome marshal back was pretty cool. :cool:

[Cornholio]

I will be in attendance. My boobs will not be.

I'll be there, boobs and all.

I'm not coming.

[Blurred]

so was the one before that ;)

Yup. All these fucking JONGS don't know their history. THIS was the first Colorado Mini bitches!! DONT FORGET IT!!!

[spthomson]

I like SheRa's idea of once a month...sounds like a great day last Wed, wish I could have been there. I probably will be challenged to join up until mid-March though with the work sched.

But, if just one...Basin is good or even Loveland could be fun...when the whole ridge is open, lots of fun options there... Something of the beaten path like CB would be cool, but something "closer" might be more do-able for more?

[riderspro]

I'm interested, thanks for including me on the invite list BZ. Does the sherriff get pissy about people sleeping in cars in the upper lots?

[SheRa]

Please Note:

THE LIST IS NOT AN INVITE LIST. EVERYONE IS WELCOME

The list is to encourage those CO mags to respond about the date/location of the CO mini. The list may not contain all CO mags. It's a list I've compiled to entice those CO folks to help this year's mini to be even larger with more maggot debauchery!

But, obviously it is not working. Get off your asses, you CO mags, and give some input here. It looks like Abasin in late April / early May will be the winner.

[SheRa]

A Basin is fine for me anytime.

But I would also like to see if any maggots are interested in Crested Butte over April Fool's Day weekend. I'm pretty sure I will go.

[jonski]

CB sounds great, but working over the w/end makes it hard to commit to this far in advance....

basin though, should def be on. 15-16 april? lot of tourists have long gone, and that still leaves closing w/end for the other summit areas the following w/end = more stupidity/games/debauchery

[HugeAirDude]

:confused: can people from out of state come?:confused:

[Below Zero]

:confused: can people from out of state come?:confused:

I guess "EVERYONE IS WELCOME" is not clear enough. ;)

[kchri]

Does that include the gaper JONGs who bailed at the last moment last year?

ABasin for sure and it is to soon to commit to an exact date, but Mayish would be good. How about during the BrewFest?

[leroy jenkins]

Ooooo, sounds fun.
I probably won't be able to commit to anything until the week before or so, but I might be down for A Basin, and would love to hit up Crusty Butte.

[Telekóptero]

hmm, nobody's down for Kongin' except snowfire? bummer. awfully nice staircase air, right side, mebbe 15-20, to a 20-30 considering speed warp factor.

i need a playmate. c'mon. . .

let's not make this thing tooooo late in the year or anything btw. entriely unselfish motivations on my part of course.

. . .i'd hate to see the wall all rubble and shcrapnel already by the time the mini happens. would love to do some maggot hiking posses out on the wall too. mebbe even attempt snorkel or waterfall route. hee hee. . .

i know Shera will join me up there. girls got lungs. . . :biggrin:

cheers.

[MOHSHSIHd]

someone needs to make some stickers for this one....

word....just got photoshop (oink rules)

[Below Zero]

I was think we could have a sticker that has PM in the middle with "Colorado sucks" just below "PM" - the length of "Colorado Sucks" should be the same length as the "PM". Some blue flames in the background would be sweet. Circular text of "Colorado Mini 2006" below and "Tetongravity.com" above. Just an idea.

sounds pretty cool....

stickerguy.com sells 2" circular stickers....should make em small so people can put em on helmets and stuff, but stickerguy only sells in quantites of like 600!

gonna research another site with smaller batch sizes..

so, for past minis does anyone know who was used?

[Below Zero]

Do a search for "stickers" in this forum. I think they did give that info in one of the Utah Mini threads.

[Below Zero]

OK, what do you guys think of this? Just something I whipped up.

I don't know how to do radius text. Along the top would be "www.tetongravity.com"

I think that looks good, but I think the PM should be on top of the flames

[shmerham]

That design rocks, but the more colors, the more expensive. I think that would be a really expensive design.

Any more thoughts on a date and location?

[marshalolson]

when and where BZ? you make the call.

[Below Zero]

when and where BZ? you make the call.

Arapahoe Basin - Saturday, April 29th and Sunday April 30th.

I think that fits with everyone's schedule that responded to this thread. I will post an "OFFICIAL" thread later on.

We also need someone to organize the sticker. I don't want to do this, so if no one steps up there will be no stickers.

[marshalolson]

sweet. i'm in the flynn

[Greguar]

I can do that. I'd be interested in a Crested Butte mini. The last weekend of skiing out there last year was great!

[Out_to_lunch]

Sorry it took me so long to find this thread, but the basin on April 29th and 30th works for me. Actually the basin anytime works for me.

I'm down like a clown. ;) And rather stoked, I might add. Just gotta find a ride, and I'm there.

Glad I found this thread...

Edit: if someone makes me a design, I can organize getting them made. Pretty sure I could get 300 stickers shipped to my dorm. And having the box would probably give me some leverage to find a ride. :FIREdevil BZ, does this work for you? And phish, do you think you could whip up the design?

I'll have to figure out how expenisive these are. How does it work? $1/sticker at the mini?

[mr_gyptian]

As of now, I'm in.

I've got grills, coolers, etc. here in Silverthorne. So people don't have to pack a ton of gear from points elsewhere.

[Max Gosey]

Similar pricing from another site--seems like around $270 regardless of the number. Pretty crazy.

Anybody got a design? Can it be done? What do you guys think?

[Rossichick]

Yay, stickers!! Yay, the Basin!! Yay, the Beach!! What more can ya ask for?!

[Max Gosey]

Trouble is I don't think I have enough in the bank to get this done without some preliminary financial assistance...

[Z]

Meh on the stickers. Let's just go ski and get drunks.


P.S. spring the basin is going to rule this year, place is skiing so well right now...

[FrankZappa]

What about Below Zero's design...

Looked & sounded good to me.

http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=9806&stc=1&d=1138143053

for the few extra bucks doubling (or more) qty seems like a good deal. I'd think everyone would want a few : car, helmet, multiple skis, poles...

Post in the "official" CO Mini Thread. http://tetongravity.com/forums/showthread.php?t=45219

In all reality, the sticker thing is probably not going to work. I think we have enough of a problem getting people to show up, let alone, trying to get people to kick in money for stickers. If you do get the sticker thing organized, I'll throw $10 towards it.
