The Official Maggette Mini in Crested Butte Thread - 2009
The Official Maggette Mini in Crested Butte Thread - 2009
It's official. Maggettes, and wives and girlfriends of maggots are rallying and we're putting on a Maggette mini in Crested Butte! Please check this thread regularly for the latest news!
The idea sprouted here, on Punkmouse's Rippin' Chix thread
[ame="http://www.tetongravity.com/forums/showthread.php?t=171986"]Hey ladies .... Rippin Chix Steeps Camp... who's in - Teton Gravity Research Forums[/ame]
__________________________________________________ ______________
Here's what it looks like so far.
Where: Crested Butte
When: Most likely Feb. 6-7, 2010
What: This is a maggette mini, which means no boys allowed to ski with the chix :)
Who's Invited? Any chick that likes to rip on skis. People impersonating females and/or who have a Y-chromosome are not invited. :tongue:
Lodging: Many women will likely need lodging. I'd like to try to organize shared lodging for people, hopefully at places where we can get good deals. More details later.
Tickets: I need to look into the latest deals with CBMR regarding discounts, as they seem to have discontinued all of the discounts they offered last year. Perhaps a group rate might be an option. More on this later as well.
Cool Stuff: Splat has graciously offered all chix who show up to this even a free FKNA shirt, with the stipulation that we need to shoot a group pic with all of the rad gals wearing these awesome shirts :)

Most recent updates
1) Wandering, not lost, has graciously volunteered to be our chef for the weekend. She will set a menu, buy everything, and then let people know how much they owe. Either way, it will surely be cheaper and better than eating out. Right now, she will be cooking dinner on Saturday, and possibly Friday. Who will make it in time for dinner (7 or 8) on Friday? Also, does anyone have any dietary specifications like allergies, vegetarian, no red meat, etc.?
2) Okay, called the Wet Grocer in Gunnison and they confirmed that they do have 2-for-1 vouchers available when you buy an 18 or 24-pack of Coors. I will hopefully make it down to Gunnison sometime in the next week or so and buy one of these 18-packs to get a voucher. Who else is willing to stop on the way to get an 18 pack and a voucher? I think we should have two people split the cost of the Coors and the lift ticket to make it fair.
The Wet Grocer is on Tomichi, which is essentially Route 50. So, from Denver, you'll come in on this road. It is located one block before the turn for Crested Butte on the right (north) side of Tomichi. You will need to ask for the voucher upon purchase of the Coors.

Update 1/26
The goods are open on the mountain. More steeps continue to open (I heard them bombing Staircase, Pheonix, Spellbound today!). The resort will be good to go for the mini! I am so excited to have all of you here!
Tentative itinerary:
-Friday: everyone arrives in the evening, meeting at Avalanche (details below)
-Saturday: Ski resort
-Saturday night: Wandering, not lost will cook us dinner, assuming all agree to pitch in a few bucks for the delicious grub
-Sunday: Assuming conditions permit, do a backcountry tour
Wandering, not lost and I have only heard from one person regarding dietary requirements (no red meat), so unless she hears anything more, she will begin thinking about what she wants to cook for dinner on Saturday night.
We will be meeting at the Avalanche restaurant at the bottom of the ski area on Friday. Wandering, not lost and I hope to be there around 7-ish. I might be a bit late since I'll be coming from Silverton. I suspect we'll be there for a couple of hours, at least until 9. Can everyone make it to CB by 9-ish? The Avy is a nice, cheap, good restaurant to eat dinner and get drinks. If dinner is not in your plan with us on Friday, just meet us there for a drink or dessert.
Everyone staying with wondering, not lost or me is requested to please bring your own breakfast food. I have things like butter and soy milk. But bring your own things for breakfast and snacks. If you don't have time to buy food, you can get a good burrito and coffee at Camp 4 at the base of the ski area.
Not needing lodging: fastfroggy, corien (I assume the two of you will stop in Gunny to pick up your voucher from a liquor store and work it out between the two of you)
Others needing lodging are assigned to the following:
- Staying with me: bc, Punkmouse, Making-a-Pizza, Ann
- Staying with Wondering, not lost: SheRa, brosia, baxter
The following will pick up an 18-pack of Coors at Wet Grocer or High Mountain Liquors in Gunnison and obtain a voucher for buy-1-get-1-free tickets at the resort: brosia (to share with baxter), Making-A-Pizza (to share with Punkmouse), SheRa (to share with Ann), and I will pick up one on my way back from Silverton to be used by bc and some other random person we will find at the ticket counter.
For clarification- partners will split cost of beer/lift tix.
- Making-A-Pizza--> Skis/skins are waiting here for you for the backcountry tour
- Baxter--> Between Wondering, not lost and I, we have a backcountry set up for you, so don't worry
- Anyone else need backcountry gear?
If you have any questions or concerns please shoot me a PM.
