WTF!???? I'm looking forward to it, but I haven't seen much info yet. Anyone interested in a trip, or have any info.

I'm way too game for it, and in fact, I'm more stoked for the Sierra's than anything else this season.

Always wanted to make it out to the eastside... I may be in if somethings going.

Hoglord, you should know that you don't need a splitfest for there to be peeps riding the eastside when it's good. Sounds like right now Mammoth to Bridgeport area is worthy, but south is still kinda bare. I'm looking at taking a week or so mid April to do some splitting, and having partners is always cool. Destination is still up in the air, but Eastside is an option, as is a volcano tour, or heading east. Let me know if you (or anyone else) are down. In the meantime, Donner split party should be sweet, and it looks like snow is on the way

This year has been a good one for sure. The krew and I have been at it since mid November, finding pow and taking down line after line. I would be super stoked for an Eastside splitfest....doesn’t J-bay usually put it together? Anyway, hopefully something can be put together so we can all meet up and party! (I mean go splitboarding, HA-ha)

Looking forward to the rest of the season and hopefully meeting some of you fellow dirtbags! HA-ha

Yep looks good down there. You're right Fuster. I was just curious to see if anyone was interested. I'm always game for travels. I'm sure we can chat it up and maybe narrow down some venues to head out and up to, whether that's in the Cascades, SouthEast, Canada, or the Himalaya (I wish). We'll figure something out. This coming Tuesday and Wednesday look to be pretty promising, which will be awesome for this coming weekend.

The Eastside Hosting Commity has been chatting about a get together. Toned down, more of a dirtbag campout style with no raffles,prizes.films or anything . Just camping riding,hot springs and fishing. maybe late may...early june so bring the sun screen

Should be corntastic

I'll bring the butter......

Swanny and I have been working on putting something together. Tentative date is first weekend in May, which is May 3-5. Conditions should be good then, lots of options, roads opening, and of course the Mo-mart will be open (cue fustercluck comment here about me coming out of the woodwork to mention the Mo-mart). Stay tuned for more details soon.

Sounds good JimW. Give me a heads up if you guys need any help with organizing. gnarnpow@gmail.com I'd love to help with whatever I can.

Dirtbag splitfest sounds right up my alley! The conditions Iv been finding down there have been, well meh... But Im a powder snob and a little buthurt that the mammoth sk8 park had snow in it. Still fun to explore!

Make sure you bring enough party supplies

Oh, but the line eye candy!



I Walk the Line

Love any excuse to hit the eastside... I'll keep that weekend open. I've got crap for vacation days, but will pull some all nighters to drive out there and back for some good lines. Will probably have at least one willing cohort coming with me from the SF bay area as well... Don't be shy about the final plans.... Dirtbaggin it is all good....

How you digging the pulk dude? How technical are you able to get on your approaches? After talking to some winter mountaineers, i'm really wanting to ditch the heavy ass backpack and start pulking. The extra weight allowance would sure make spending days out there a lot more enjoyable.

Awesome Post MaxP, even if I've seen them before. Talk about chicken salad of chickenshit..you're having a hell of a season on the eastside this year.
