I'm keen!

sounds good to me
i'd be happy to help with planning too.

The Clair Tappan Lodge was super cool when we did it in 05. a repeat of that would be awesome - esp. if burt and zeller show up.

and, yes, work out a good system for the raffle. i like the beacon search idea.

the raffle at echo last year, was...........well, it was discouraging with the monopoly that happened.

Thought on the raffle...Give each participant 2 tickets upon arrival. One goes in the raffle container for all but the grand prize. Each participant can only win one item so the prizes are distributed to all guests. Throw in stickers or something for non winners so everybody walks away with something.

The second ticket will go into the grand priz raffle container. Allow participants to buy as many tickets as they wish to allow the greatest profitability to our local avy center or wherever.

On the raffel should go like this your going to have SPLIT Tour people on the days of tour get a voucher with gives them the right to buy tickets for the upper end stuff. Woodn't want to make peps no reason to have two raffels thay'd just lie and say there spliters. or you need to bring in your board to show proof on day of raffel. I'm in and i know my hommie Aboardingfool is in make it happin and thay will come

if the dates work out I'll roll up

Sooner a date is set the sooner it can get blocked off on the calendar. Super hyped! I will definitely be there. Lodge looks awesome and it would be great to explore the N Lake area with some peeps!

Live in Truckee and down to help w/ planning & execution. Let me know what I can do to help!

MARK YO CALENDARS YO!

Dates have been set for February 22-24, 2013 at Clair Tappan Lodge

Alight splitters...I'll be working on this over the next couple months but here's what I can tell you so far.

I've reserved the whole Hutchinson Lodge that sleeps 25 in a loft style set-up
The lodge has a kitchen, showers, fireplace, etc
Cost is $25+tax per person per night and you would need to book both nights (meals are not included at this price)
If you would like meals provided the cost is 49+tax (you'd get a meal Friday night, breakfast-lunch-dinner on Sat, and breakfast-lunch on Sunday)
The lodge will be all yours

I've also reserved 30 spots in the main Clair Taipan Lodge (room for more if we need it and don't wait too long)
Depending on what you want and how soon you commit will depend on the type of room you'll get
They have a combination of 2 person rooms, 5 person rooms, 6 person rooms, 8 person rooms and a 10 person room
Cost for the main lodge has been discounted for us from $60 to $50 per night per person, 2 nights required
Meals ARE included (you'd get a meal Friday night, breakfast-lunch-dinner on Sat, and breakfast-lunch on Sunday)

To reserve a spot you can do so now (sooner the better) by calling the lodge at 530-426-3632 and mention splitboard.com event. Ask for James but anyone should be able to help you book a spot.

Lots more info coming over the next few weeks.

Hell yes Chris! Work on that sponsership invite and keep me in the loop! Dont forget the local shops (Mom and pop type shops usually hook it up!) Lookin forward to A donner style Splitparty lol...

what if you have a place to stay up in truckee there, how could i still participate

@petersami

You're welcome to come join folks for self-guided tours, check out the vender booths, and hang out...but the really fun part is STAYING at the lodge with a a bunch of splitters for the partying/camaraderie/food/location/etc and not having to drive.



There may or may not be a small nominal cost for folks not staying at the lodge, we'll know more as the dates get closer...

Anyone have thoughts for an official name for the event/flyer?

Tahoe SplitFest?
Sierra SplitFest?
The Original SplitFest
SplitFest Returns
The Donner Party SplitFest
