I'd bring a mountain bike and hit Moab and Fruita.

[TEXASS]

yeah, was thinking that. I also want to get some aerial shots from my drone. Inspire one. I have to make a new demo reel and some action sport filming would be great.

any takers? Solo shooter so would need help getting gear up the hill

[tylerjames]

you should look up Tedski, he was in a similar situation and truly made his time off incredible not just for him but for all of us.

I Made It

[TEXASS]

Thanks. I have been looking for that link for the last six months. Best shit I ever read on the whole internet EVAH

but, I don't think my knar bar or my IQ is as high as Tedski.

im just looking for afew days of fun and good snow

not wanting to relocate and buy another double wide

It's a really nice time to hit the Alaska Highway. Lots of daylight and way less RV traffic than middle of June on. Blackcomb is open until the end of May for lift serviced skiing on the way up. Inside passage Ferry ride, Cassiar highway up, Alaska down. Check out Skagway, Haines, Whitehorse, maybe up to Dawson, fuck it, drive to Eagle Plains and get above the 60. 5 Weeks is lots of time for a Northern Tour.

WA has a bunch of interesting stuff outside Baker: Adams, Rainier (Chinook, Sunrise, Inter Glacier), N. Cascades (Highway 20). Then there's Bend and environs (broken top, sisters, etc).

I'd bring a mountain bike and hit Moab and Fruita.

My vote. I did a month straight in the desert mostly mtn biking. Its Cheap, easy living and Never rains. There's tons of options from Fruita, grand junction, westwater, moab, virgin, st George, swell, etc.

[AKbruin]

I'd start with some Eastside action (of course) for the first week or two and then work my way north trying to bag summits and descents off of every major strato-volcano in the Cascades. Then I'd turn around and mountain bike all of Oregon (Hood River, Oakridge, Black Rock, Umpqua, Bend, Ashland).

I'm taking the first week of May off to ski stuff in the Eastside with a buddy if you're around.

[powdork]

If you go to moab/fruita etc hit up the la sals. you drive right to the snow and the peaks approach 13k. there are some with more gnar than this as well


and colorado is in a good cycle right now.

Gilbert

[TEXASS]

I did plan on starting at Gilbert Best way to start any trip. But, I don't have the entire 5 weeks to explore. Im thinklinh- Lassen,Shasta, and some Oregon Volcano action

[Greydon Clark]

What a trip. So much good skiing and biking to be had.

I’d start in the eastern Sierra and work my way north on 395/97 to Bend (Adams, Baker, or Whistler). For the trip south I’d take I5 and hit Oak Ridge, Shasta, Lassen, Downieville.

I like this idea the most. As GC said the timing is right. IMO this trip has the most potential to change your life (in a good way).

If you don't go that far I would hit the volcanos north.
