2005 TAY ski-fest: what up?

i'll drag the special kamelbak up the hill...

<br><br>I'll get my sled fixed up - after last year it needs some love.<br>

There's a couple of places where you might need a block and tackle to get the "goods" up to the slush cup tarn

I'll supply the block and tackle. No problem; don't even mention it.

okay then. let's do it. so Ron, where?

Here a map to the Pinnacle Glacier:<br><br>http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0UgANA70YXwtPgyfSYYgbcOh6ZJqiGzxfEWx8i9eFvyo!lYkjmLZYzsF7rT0fYtQkVzAWEAYjBZcHRl6kQKq5wyfVq1PoSkZsRmG5IbF7qRlhpY00in8XZORuiosYqTHV/Pinnacle%20Gl.BMP?dc=4675482766115760915<br><br>For more info on just exactly what it is that EVERYBODY is invited to, check out last year's<br> Slush Cup Promo thread. <br><br>If that ain't enough to get everyone salivating for this comunal ski festivity, here's last year's <br> Slush Cup TR <br><br>If we happen to end up doing this around the end of Mar/first of April it would be FOUR months earlier than last year ???<br><br>I'm hoping that a continued trend is started with the snow in the mountains that we got today, which hopefully, would extend the actual planned "Slush Cup" date. <br><br>Obviously if the entertainment value is to be continued we need the tarn to be at least starting to melt out and it would also be helpful, at least for the "special camelback" hauling crew, to have the road to reflection lakes open. And speaking of that crew, don't forget to consider the optional "remuneration donation" in exchange for partaking of the benefits they will most graciously provide. <br><br>Guess anyone that would like, can also help out by making recon trips up there to check on the tarn and see how it is looking on the melt out, eh?

if the path up to the pinnacle is as brushy in early april as it was last august, kam might want to carry the "goods" in a backpack, and skip may want to leave his sled behind (though it was quite entertaining to watch him slide down crystal last year). but what's with this weather today? perhaps the slush cup may be pushed back to the middle of april instead?
