I am IN for getting yeti / i-as to Utah in March... tj

[utagonian]

For sure. I probably will save my JH trip for earlier in the Winter anyways. I’ll definitely be hitting alta and bird either before or after the event.

I’m looking at lodging now. Trying to figure out how road conditions are there, on snow days. Would love to just stay in SLC and drive.

Don't sweat the roads. There are park -n-rides at the base of the canyons so you can catch a bus or work out a ride with someone.
Folks driving up will appreciate it when you leave your rental car in the valley. If you get really lucky, the drive to Eden might be rough but that is rare.

[detrusor]

Planning to make some of the days. Work sure outs a cramp in getting out to play.

Dgamms? Shred?

Harry and I discussed our plans for BBIUT19 while Burning like Mofos this past weekend.

We hashed out safety parameters and incentives. Then we forgot what we were talking about and had another.

I'd like to set up a "Sponsor a Mag" system to help out the deserving.

To start, I'll put up $100 to a travel fund for Yeti.

I've never met him but respect his viewpoints, stories, and sense of humanity, and I'd like for him to be included in this gathering (if he's able and interested). I understand that he's spent a bit of time skiing in Utah, but now lives in the midwest and doesn't get the opportunity to ski big hills much anymore. Maybe if we can scrape together enough coins, we could fly him and his wife out for a little vacation.

I would also throw in $100 to get Yetiman out to BBI.

Count me in for a c-note to get Yeti back to Utah

i’m in for a hundo to get yeti back there as well; hold me to that, Norse.

Stirrings of thread creation for BBi19Alpy have me taking notes here before further action.

I'm going to send a PM to Yeti, letting him know that we have a rough plan for sending his ass to Utah next March. Looks like $400+ is already on the table and I'd expect that to go up if/when I make a general thread about it.

Flowing Alpy and NW_Skier also proposed that raffle proceeds at the Alpy party could go to this cause. TBD for now

So... fingers crossed that YetiMan will accept the hand.

For YetiMan

[doebedoe]

I feel like it is time to pop my BBI cherry. Pencil'd on the calendar as long as doesn't conflict with Euro trip.

My SO will be giving and grading finals at that time, so if any other mags want to ride from Denver and cuddle in the van, let me know. Hopefully we can find some mags driveway to crash in. Probably do something like drive Wed mid-day, ski Thurs - Sat, maybe a lil tour Sunday morning, and back.

Are RXs required for BBI?

Are RXs required for BBI?

Yes, but your own personal Rx may vary.

i think i have a most excellent cot with the fine gentleman sfb. i just have to figure out if flying or driving is more sensible cost/time/safety wise.

i hope to see yeti there. wish i could help but i need to get me there.

If I could get some floor space to crash, I'd drive. Splitting gas costs will make it cheap.
Easy 12 hour drive for me, done it at least 4 times.
Never been to Solitude...yet.

[wyeaster]

yeah i think drive straight through is my only option. i looked at plane and train and $ and time make it a pipe dream. let's keep in touch! and play some golf, dammit!

[jackattack]

I don’t think anyone with limited time or a schedule of any kind takes the train to SLC.

[wyeaster]

i was considering all my options

[2FUNKY]

Fly to Spokane, hop the train to Butte, hop the bus to salt lake.

[k2skier112]

I'd hit SV or Bogus

Can we stay in Salt Lake, and drive up the road on a storm/powder day? How often does the road close? Are there two ways in, one from SLC and one from park city?

Solitude rentals are expensive. I wanna start booking stuff now.

SLC hotels are cheap if you aren't picky. If you are OK with public transportation, there's a park and ride at the base of each canyon. I've used the buses a few times - they are easy and reliable.

Yes, BC is a little better than LC for access. No Access cept thru big cottonwood.

I'm expecting Spring that week. A snow closure mid-march could always happen but still less likely for Big than Little. Hell, I'd stay down in Salt Lake if i'd give us a closure.

I’ve ridden the bus from downtown to snowbird several times. Easy. Convenient. Drops you at the lower level door.
