-SheRa and Snowfire may be getting into swimwear for maggette calender shots

Gee, I was told I HAD to wear a bikini and short shorts to ski anytime after May Day. I really didn't??? I'm so confused and feeling rather blonde today. I was told you can't even get your lift ticket scanned if you don't show cleavage!!! :eek:


I'll bring homemade famous potato salad....maybe brownies as well......It's gonna be warm weather, nicht wahr?

It'll sorta be a eulogy to inbounds ski season. I'm already tearing up....Really :(

I actually already have my swimwear shot. But maybe I'll bring my suit for moral support for Shera. :D But only if it's warm.

Oh yeah, and I'm not just supplying tickets and a swimsuit, I'm also coming to the summit. Since I'm not on the list I just thought I'd clarify that. :p

Keeping this list updated is going to be a demanding task! I do however have some questions regarding the list...

I'm not sure I'm clear on a few things, like: what kind of colfax whores are we talking about? The plastic knee high boot kind or the kind that just sorta blend in? I need to know so I know what to wear - fur coat or traditional ski. And what kind of bread with mold are we thinkin? Because I find that sharpness of sourdough somehow complements the "mold" taste more than traditional white or wheat.

Clarification on these subjects will help ensure that the appropriate beer is purchased for both the whores and bread selections...

Since the Dude is out, I have a small grill that I can donate for the festivities. It has a small cooking area, but for burgers and such, it should do OK.

^^Nice, can't wait for that picture!^^

Question:

Assuming that the upper east wall is still open, should we set up a time to meet to get a group climb? Maybe around 11:00 then we can all ski back down to the beach for brats, burgers, and beers. Then head back up.

What do you guys think?

MuleSkinner
05-06-2005, 12:11 PM
Unfortunately my roommate and I are both out - little thing called work really got in the way. Hope you all have a blast and am looking forward to the pics. SheRa - thanks for the offer of couch space.

I think we are all going to snowbike actually! :biggrin:

OK, less than a week away. I need some input here guys.

Should we set up a time to all meet and head up the hill, or we are just going free for all? Make sure everyone has their radios set to 5-13 so everyone (especially those who have not met other mags) can meet up.

How about 9:00 am at the bottom of Pali?

Blurred Elevens - let me know if you'll be able to hook up some parking spaces the night before.

05-09-2005, 09:41 AM
confidence is low for me now. Failed to pull a turkey over the weekend (but I came reeeeel close) as such, any ski thoughts are banished until one's floppin on the ground or the season ends (22nd). Should be able to get out a time or two this week (we'll see).

Yeah, I may be out for Saturday as well. There's some unfinished business I need to take care of up near RMNP, and it looks like we're in for a nice melt-freeze cycle this week.

If you can make it happen, then do it. Talk to Blurred. He said he may be able to save a few spaces. If we don't park a few cars overnight, then someone will have to get there really early to get some beach front property. I would rather not leave Denver at like 5:30 just to get those spaces.

I figure I would just post what will still need instead of the PM, so others can see. I have been updating my first post in this thread and that will tell you who is volunteering to bring what. Yeah, bring the paper plates and napkins. Not sure if we need bowls, but hell bring them anyway.

Things we still need:

Ketchup / Mustard
Lettuce / Cheese / Tomato
Hamburger / Hot Dog Buns
Hot Dogs / Sausages

I think that's about it. We should have enough beer with (7) people bringing alcohol. If anybody has any extra folding chairs, bring them. Also, does anyone have a huge cooler that we can stick all the beer in?

If anyone wants to share a ride from Denver, let me know.

What the H*ll, I'll bring ketchup. I sure hope someone else shows cuz ketchup and potato salad alone don't make for a very balanced meal. I guess if the beer is there I'm good! :D

Am still debating. I thought I was certain, but today have been having back issues... so its all dependant on how my back feels. Suppose its a good idea to spend a day rippin around with what I can only guess are pinched nerves in the lower back?

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

It has come to my attention that providing free beer to my fellow Colorado maggot crew is retarded. So, for those of you who would like to drink beer that you have paid for with your own hard earned dollar, you are more than welcome to. The beer volunteers of the 2005 Colorado Mini make no guarantee that enough beer will be provided to meet your desired alcohol consumption level. A personal supply of alcohol is recommended as a back up.

iskibc
05-11-2005, 03:13 PM
Foggy is a grumpy fart.

He does make a valid point though. I would never rely on someone else to bring adequate amounts of beer. I would suggest bringing a backup twelvie and stash it in the back of your truck.

lord, EVERYONE'S BAILING!! NOT COOL!!!!

ok, I'm calm. :D

seriously, it will be a good time. iski, Kya, et al., go to RMNP on Sunday! The weather will still be good.

Shera, what's your new job? I'm not getting into a bikini by myself, so you better show. :D

Crashgirl, got your request for a ticket. I kinda lost track of who all needs one because people are bailing, but GFP and I will bring a big stack up so it won't be a problem. Is there a place that we can meet all those who need a ticket before we head up the mountain, so you're not stuck standing at the bottom with no pass? How about coffee cart at 8:30? or 8:15? I dunno, I'm not good at things having to do with time. :cool: Unless someone requests otherwise, I'm thinking 8:15 at the coffee cart.

Blurred and Mosh, do you still need comps?

Below Zero
05-13-2005, 09:14 AM
lI'm thinking 8:15 at the coffee cart.

snowfire
05-13-2005, 09:35 AM
um. ok. J, if you really want to get into a bikini, I have a few extras. :D

The coffee cart is inside the a-frame right by the bar. Go into the aframe and walk right. I'll be wearing, um, ... either a red puffy or a light blue north face fleece. I'm short with dark hair.

If anyone shows up late, I'll leave some comps in the ski patrol first aid room (first building on the west) in an envelope on the counter, or tacked to the bulletin board above the counter. It will say "Maggots." :D Take the comp to the ticket window and get your free pass. :cool:

iskibc
05-13-2005, 09:43 AM
Meats, sometimes you scare me :biggrin: . I'll make sure to throw in my leopard skin speedo. :wink:

We're gonna try and catch up with you all late in the afternoon. I'm guessing the maggot caravan will move it's way up to the pass after the basin shuts down for the day. I'll have some radios, so we'll give you all a shout.

Would love to shoot some sunset shots near over near that step-up. I remember getting some really cool stuff last year. Weather should be great tomorrow PM.

05-13-2005, 09:53 AM
OK, last minute shit:

Group Party Location

I'm going to get to Abasin around 7:30 and try to get a spot on the beach. I'll try to reserve one more space for whoever gets there, but no guarantee (Silver WRX wagon with TGR sticker). If I am unsucessful, then we'll have to meet wherever Blurred is parked (since he is providing the tunes) and transport the beers and food.


Meeting Place and Time / Communication

Meeting at 8:15 in front of the coffee cart. Bottom of Pali at 9:00. I'll have my radio on - channel 5-13. If you miss the meeting time or don't have a radio, just look for the group with the fat skis and TGR stickers hauling ass down the mountain :D .

Question: I am going to be in the area tomorrow and might head over to A-Basin Saturday afternoon or evening for some skiing on Sunday. I am a little pressed for time, so I have not done a thorough search for the answer.

Can you car camp in the A Basin lots overnight? I am assuming you can because it looks like there is a contingent spending the night and skiing Sunday.

Mucho gracias

It's 20 after 3pm on Friday, and Knuckledragger Gary and myself are headed up to drop off my Blazer in the prime real estate section of the beach. It's a green s-10 Blazer, and has AThule box on top, Michigan plates. (don't ask, and NO, I'm not from Michigan)
