OFFICIAL: Summit 2007

**Pow4Brains** · 03-06-2007, 01:28 PM

Fugg, this is NOT good news......

**Nitro** · 03-06-2007, 03:00 PM

Yeah, I know. The last two weeks have been slow and our lodging numbers show a large increase at the end of march. Plus...many folks are trying to cram in their last ski vacation because the Airport is closing for two months on April 9th...which is prior to the mountain closing. I think a lot of people are coming knowing that the airport will be closing.

Has anyone called OBF yet?

**KnuckleDragger** · 03-07-2007, 10:26 AM

Shit, just booked my flight yesterday.

If anyone has recommendations for places to stay, please post them up.

My buddy stayed in Basalt last week at a pretty cheap hotel. I don't know the name or anything, but a 20-min drive to save some money is probably worth it.

We need stickers. Who's got some talent?

Not sure we have the time. This shit is freakin' 2 weeks away!

Give me a design, and I'll make some calls. IIRC, it took about 3 weeks for the whole process last year.

Edit: I tried (successfully) sleeping on the inflatable mattress in the back of my car last night. So that's a go for the summit, it looks like, but a place to shower and charge my phone for an hour a couple times would be most appreciated and compensated for with tasty goodies. Anybody?

St. Moritz has bunks for $40/night, 800-817-2069.

There are a couple of other places with reasonable rates. If you’re still looking for accommodations, post your dates and we can try to coordinate something.

Any other ideas for places to crash in town? Options...options... {Bueller...Bueller...}

I just booked a room at the Mountain House Lodge for myself and TreeRat. $168 per night for 2 double beds and includes breakfast. They have a 10% AAA discount which covers a little bit more than the tax. The price is about $20 cheaper for one queen bed.

Basalt is decent option. It's not very far to Aspen. There's also good touring just outside of town off fryingpan road.

**Deep Days** · 03-18-2007, 11:05 PM

We should try to figure out at least 24 hours in advance where we'll be skiing in Aspen. Looks like I'll be driving down Friday night (Like 5 fucking days from now

). Glad I checked this thread... Kept thinking for the last several weeks that Aspen was the second half of the week.

I guess the snow will tell...? Should we figure it out on Friday? What say you all?

**gearjunkie1** · 03-19-2007, 12:42 PM

I'm in for Aspen for Saturday and Sunday.

I told him to get in touch with Karl or Nitro.

**Speedfreak** · 03-19-2007, 05:47 PM

Steve and I should be arriving somewhere between evening and stupid late Saturday nite. Still working on lodging...

**MOHSHSIHd** · 03-20-2007, 01:40 PM

Have a good one guys. Was planning on hitting the aspen dates, but since I have no money I will be sitting on my ass like the stupid fuck that I am...

**Pow4Brains** · 03-20-2007, 09:51 PM

Phish - You should come here. I am 99% sure I'm going and you can ride with me. No $$$ tix to worry about and depending on what happens with other mags over the weekend

I might be heading up Sat. and crashing in the truck. Should be a good time.

**skiHOG** · 03-22-2007, 11:03 AM

damn, i wanted to make some of the summit dates, but i don't really feel like dropping the money to go ski the slop. looks like the summit will be well attended, except for the most important attendee, Ullr. i think i'd rather just get wasted at abasin.

**Shredhead** · 03-22-2007, 03:53 PM

Actually, I think the skiing will be pretty good. Regardless, I will be 1st chair on Shadow Mountain Lift everyday if anyone wants a fast tour.

**FrankZappa** · 03-22-2007, 08:08 PM

Soooo, looks like potential for snow mid week. Anyone interested in stopping by Wolf Creek for $25 LAD on the way down south?

**Deep Days** · 03-23-2007, 12:49 PM

Count me out for Wolfie.

Gotta do laundry and recover for a day before hiking all day Thursday and skiing Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

On what I consider a more pressing note: WHERE THE HELL ARE WE GONNA BE TOMORROW? Somebody please give me a ring (985 707 4101) in the morning and let me know which Aspen resort to drive to...

Also, if anyone has any suggestions for somewhere on the western portion of Hwy 82 that I could park my car and sleep for the night tonight, that would be terrific. By "western portion" I mean a decent rally point for the morning.

Maybe you should just go ahead and make the call Max.

GO!

**Deep Days** · 03-23-2007, 04:14 PM

Highlands. Never been there and want to go.

Any opposition?

Edit: I'll be at Loveland tomorrow. MIGHT be in Aspen Tuesday instead of Vail (got 3 Aspen days left to burn), but I definitely won't be there tomorrow. Didn't realize no one else would be...

**grskier** · 03-23-2007, 08:07 PM

Let me know where... I've actually decided to stay in town for this.

**KnuckleDragger** · 03-24-2007, 06:17 AM

I should be getting into town around 9:00pm tonight. Could someone please give me a call if a decision gets made on where to meet for Sunday morning? 8 6 0 - 6 6 2 - 2 8 2 9.
