I’ll most likely be there Saturday afternoon for an evening session and all day on Sunday. Who else? 😀 May 10, 2005 at 10:14 pm #582253 mtnrider 740 Posts Anyone been checking up on the weather? Mammoth area is calling for thunderstorms on Sat. night? think it will happen or blow thru ❓ I’ll be rolling up w/ a truck full… May 10, 2005 at 10:33 pm #582254 SmokinFatBob 76 Posts Me + 2 (girl and dog). Heading up Friday after work, probably roll in around 1 AM. The exit is Conway Summit, right? Just follow that till the end of the road? May 10, 2005 at 10:46 pm #582255 Matt 77 Posts I am coming early on Saturday morning, arriving maybe 8am-ish assuming I don’t have to work. Shellie’s coming too if there will be at least one not-so-hardcore skier/rider to hang out and do some turns with. At Conway Summit on 395, midway between Bridgeport and Lee Vining, turn onto VA Lakes Rd. Go until the road runs out and park. What time will we start climbing on Saturday morning? May 10, 2005 at 10:50 pm #582256 Arash 27 Posts I will most likely be heading up Saturday (6:00) am. I may head up on friday night if I get a wild hair.

My girlfriend (Kelly) is coming along so maybe Shellie and Kelly can hang out together for some turns. 🙂 May 10, 2005 at 11:49 pm #582258 dibiase 46 Posts I’m planning to head out with my girlfriend to get there late friday night… May 11, 2005 at 1:33 am #582259 GirlRider 4 Posts @smokinfatbob wrote: @matt wrote: Shellie’s coming too if there will be at least one not-so-hardcore skier/rider to hang out and do some turns with. Cool. My girlfriend (Kelly) is coming along so maybe Shellie and Kelly can hang out together for some turns. 🙂 Shellie should definitely come. I would love to see another girl there! Is she a splitboarder too? I have just a handful of days on my new splitboard and would be happy to have a partner to hike for some turns with. 😀 -GirlRider (Kelly) May 11, 2005 at 2:00 am #582260 Matt 77 Posts Welcome to the forum, GirlRider. Shellie is an AT skier and she’s somewhat familiar with VA Lakes’ Black Mountain area. I think Mrs. Powderjunkie may be there too and she’s a splitter.

Snowboarder, er, I mean, splitboarder, um, skier?, backcountry rider? We’re trying to pull it off this weekend. Sounds like a cool group. Who ever gets there first must start digging into this. 😀 (Matt, this pic looks like it for a Subaru commercial) May 11, 2005 at 3:57 pm #582268 Dutch MArC_OS 22 Posts Looks like a great crew @ VL. I’m trying to leave Friday afternoon & beat trafic out of LA. Car camp @ parkinglot. See you guys there .. May 11, 2005 at 5:01 pm #582269 mtnrider 740 Posts See picture above DM…don’t stress when you don’t find the “parking lot”. 😆 May 11, 2005 at 5:10 pm #582270 Matt 77 Posts That snowbank pic is actually taken about a 1.5 mile from the 395 turn-off – about 4 miles from the end of the road. The snowbanks at the road end are only 5 or 6 feet deep. Whoever gets there first, leave enough room for people to turn around at the end of the road. This will help us and the fishermen out and maybe prevent altercations with The Man. May 11, 2005 at 7:26 pm #582271 powderjunkie 1669 Posts Matt, is there options to set up a tent on a flat spot near the parking area. So we don’t have to sleep in cars or pitch tents on the road. Mtnrider, you should rent some sort of snowplow to attach to your truck. Then you could plow out a camping area for us. 😀 Viewing 20 posts - 1 through 20 (of 44 total) 1 2 3 → You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
