MattParticipantPJ, I don’t know for sure, but I think there will be reasonably close areas for tent camping. The end of the road is next to the Trumbull Lake CG, and even though it’s not open, there should be flat snow there. Thunderstorms are a possibility, so be prepared. If it gets really really bad, there’s always Bridgeport or Lee Vining to retreat to.

Mtnrider, you should rent some sort of snowplow to attach to your truck. Then you could plow out a camping area for us. 😀
you were reading my mind…
Will we be tenting out @ the parking lot or car camping?
I don’t mind either way but gear will change accordingly.
Matt, are you our ring leader?

I was planning on not bringing a tent and sleeping in my truck, but if the general consensus is to bring tents and sleep away from the trucks, then that’s cool too.

See picture above DM…don’t stress when you don’t find the “parking lot”. 😆

SnowDude and I will be there. Driving to Mammoth after work Friday. Pack up gear and drive to VA Lakes Saturday morning.
Yay! I’m glad to hear you guys are going! Have you been getting lots of use out of your new board?
Kelly, haven’t seen you since the Avy course!
The last time I used the splitboard was . . . see SFB’s post !!!
Can’t wait to get on it again!
May 12, 2005 at 3:48 am #582277MattParticipantI am no ringleader, mtnrider. I’ve just been there recently so I’m trying to help.
I’ve got a super kewl rental minivan since my car’s at the bodyshop, so I’m sleeping in it. But I’m bringing a tent too in case. Parking will be in a single file, I guess.
Some unlikely but possible problems this weekend.
– No restroom facilities – buried up to the eaves in snow (known fact)
– Not enough parking, so some may have to shuttle in close.
– Neighbors in the nearby cabins complaining to the authorities about us.
– Some random authority passing by and deciding we shouldn’t be there. People camp there often but usually there’s a parking lot open.
– Thunderstorms (“slight chance” says NWS) – prolly snow up that high but it could rain, maybe lightning.Civilization is close, so nothing is that big of a deal.
May 12, 2005 at 3:49 am #582278MattParticipantDoh!, double post… 😳
May 12, 2005 at 6:57 pm #582279powderjunkieParticipantCan we have a green room brought in? The locals in the cabins should really like that. We could let the fishermen use it too. No wait, that may be a bad idea. 😆
Personally, I don’t mind if there are no facilities, but my wife on the other hand….?
May 13, 2005 at 2:25 pm #582280bcriderParticipantSome recent Va Lakes stoke! 5/11/05
and a viddy from last year. (tele only…sorry 😉 )
http://splitboard.com/vids/cornfest04small.wmvthe normal parking lot…we’ll be down the road just a little.
ps. Special mission for those that arrive early. Keep an eye out for a nice spot to have some afternoon fun on Saturday. A little kicker or jib right next to camp would be cool for some fun. 🙂
May 13, 2005 at 3:42 pm #582281mtnriderParticipantWow 😯 That is such a rad picture…heaps more snow compared to last season.
May 13, 2005 at 4:16 pm #582282fassnorParticipantOh waouh! the casting crew for bcrider’s next killer vid, the perspective of the snow-buried green rooms… Matt’s kewl rental minivan… and hmmm, of course VA lakes (heard it’s even better than Mt Rose! isn’t it Matt?)
I AM IN. 🙂
Anybody looking to share a ride from the Bay Area? I couldn’t convince my girl that this was THE 🙂 place to be this week end, so I’ll have to make the looong drive by myself if no-one is coming from down here.
PJ, are you from the bay area? can you strap me and my split on your roofrack ? 🙂Matt, I am bringing a BIG bottle of chartreuse 😉
May 13, 2005 at 4:23 pm #582283MattParticipantFassnor… n’est pas mort! About time you got your ass back up here.
Is anybody bringing a grill of some sort?

I can if needed but I was hoping someone else would. 🙂
May 13, 2005 at 4:34 pm #582285SmokinFatBobParticipantBeing a freeze-dried food kind of guy, this talk about grills and stuff is making me hungry.
What should I bring? I’d be glad to contribute to the evening’s feast.
🙂
May 13, 2005 at 4:47 pm #582286Dutch MArC_OSParticipantI will bring a small portable BBQ grill. Just picked it up @ Rite-Aid 17.99 Soooo .. Don’t expect 2 muncho, but you guys are free to use it.
May 13, 2005 at 4:49 pm #582287bcriderParticipantI’ll bring mine too. 🙂
May 13, 2005 at 5:00 pm #582288mtnriderParticipantyeah, check back to a previous post of mine…I’m bringing a little grill like DM!
Carne asada for saturday night!
mabye peeps can bring some random stuff to share on Saturday.
I got 6 lbs. of carne asada for tacos…w/ some side stuff like onions, tomatoes, salsa

May 13, 2005 at 6:31 pm #582289GirlRiderParticipantOk, we (SFB and myself) are bringing chicken / veggie skewers and brownies to share. 🙂
May 13, 2005 at 7:44 pm #582290ArashParticipantI’m bringing some chips and a bunch of beer for all to share.
If you guys want, we can cheat and I can bring my big George Foreman and plug it into my truck.
