Is the cabin stay for Friday night only? Or Saturday night as well?

My friend and I are going up Thursday night, she has to leave Sat. night since she works Sunday, but I'm planning to stay up till whomever is giving me a ride back has to leave.
So those who want to hang and ski/shoot/drink/whatever on Sunday are welcome to hang.

PM's sent out with directions, guys pass on the info to your girls if you're coming up seperately.
(Try to carpool if you can, parking is limited.)

We're about full up, but couples or people who haven't gotten the PM send me a PM and I'll let you know if we have any cancelations.
Might also have room Sat. night if some of the group are heading home after the event.

See ya'll up there.:drink:

BTW, anyone know if there's rental discounts?
Might want to rent (or borrow if someone has a pair) a set of shorties.
My 195cm skis get a little heavy by the end of the day.

I think my boots are 11.5 maybe 12 (damn Euro sizing) only # on em is 60 whatever that means.

[rybo]

I'm like a size 9, but I have some skis with movable bindings.

I can bring the skis and a screwdriver to breck early morning if you want, or I might be able to run home and grab them, bring them your way this evening. I'll be in Parker / Centennial late this afternoon?

You've got my number.

s

[Sortarican]

Shouldn't be a problem, I can just rent a set if need be.

What time and where are we meeting up Sat. morning?

[Matty]

Sean, Jon, or Alex.... if you get any more donations could you please throw them my way. I really wanna compete in the Vertical Feet Challenge.

We already know where going to win the Team challenge.

PLEASE!!!!!!!

[Sean]

Sean, Jon, or Alex.... if you get any more donations could you please throw them my way. I really wanna compete in the Vertical Feet Challenge.

We already know where going to win the Team challenge.

PLEASE!!!!!!!I'll try. I only really sent out one round of emails (plus thank you's) and they've been slowly winding down. I don't evpect anymore, but if I can, I'll hook ya up :up:

[Timmay]

Sean, Jon, or Alex.... if you get any more donations could you please throw them my way. I really wanna compete in the Vertical Feet Challenge.

We already know where going to win the Team challenge.

PLEASE!!!!!!!

I dont think you have to hit the 200 to compete in the vertical challange, I think it is an average for the team. Since the there are 15 people on the team, and our goal was 3000 it works out to be 200 per person.

[PiercedDuc]

PLEASE!!!!!!!

Sorry dude, my donations have frozen since my final push last week. I don't anticipate me getting past $750.

[Matty]

That's for the team challenge.

But there's also an individual vertical feet challenge for any person who raises $200 or more.

[Timmay]

Aww I see.

[Sully]

Matty - Looks like you may have to open your wallet and kick in some funds :)

[Mother Goose]

what's his name?
Axle..... not Rose. :lol:

[Matty]

Matty - Looks like you may have to open your wallet and kick in some funds :)
i have a check to turn in when i get to the event. Trust me, i wouldn't be asking others to donate when i wasn't donating myself.

[Sully]

Welcome to the Jungle :music: :rock:

[Mother Goose]

That's for the team challenge.

But there's also an individual vertical feet challenge for any person who raises $200 or more.
I think that was for people that are on a team by themselves. But I could have read it wrong.

[~Barn~]

So who is driving up on Saturday A.M. ?

[Matty]

I think that was for people that are on a team by themselves. But I could have read it wrong.
you read it wrong!!! LOL.

Every person whether part of a team or individual who raises $200 or more gets to compete in the Vertical Feet Challenge.

[Sean]

He's def part of the team vert feet challenge, but I think that if they have any additional prizes, people who hit the 200 mark are eligible for them?

[Sully]

Fundraising minimums for vertical feet For any team or individual wishing to compete for the vertical feet prizes, the minimum fundraising requirement is $200 per person average. So, if a team of 8 people has one person that raises $1200 and the other members make up the remaining $400 they will qualify to compete for most vertical feet. Any individual, whether they are part of a team or not, that raises a minimum of $200 will be eligible to compete for the most vertical feet by an individiual prize. We will continue counting fundraising that comes in until 10am on the day of the event. So if you have fundraising that is supposed to be coming in online, be sure that it is showing up on Saturday morning!

[Matty]

^^^ Thanx Sully.

[Mother Goose]

So who is driving up on Saturday A.M. ?
Kris and I are.

[rybo]

Partly cloudy, with a high near 44.


Also it's currently snowing in Breck. Supposedly going to get about 2-4 inches over night adding to the couple of inches they got last night and this morning.

[Mother Goose]

So I just checked my vertical distance, and it says I had 0 feet vertical, but 52 miles horizontal.... how does that work?? :think:

[Sully]

Yeah, it seems to be messed up... I had 17K vertical feet, then checked it again and it was 18K... :?

Did you watch yourself on the map with speed, etc. ? crazy stuff !

[= Buckeye Jess =]

So how'd the day go for everybody????

[Sully]

I had a blast ! Worn out, but good times. It was crazy watching people trying to get the vertical challenge :crazy:. We took 1st place in team pledges and I think 8 of our team members won raffle prizes. Natty placed in the womens' vertical challenge and Jon placed in the top individual pledges raised! The American Cancer Society raised over $40K for this event !

Big THANKS to Rybo for getting our team together and for all those who participated !! :bananna: :up: Great job everyone !!!

[Mother Goose]

That was definitely a good time! I'm feeling it today though, good thing I took 4 ibuprofens before I went to bed. :up: I'll put up my pictures tomorrow.

[Sully]

They sent mine from Boulder, if I remember correctly. I picked the Athens also, guess what color, yes, black on black ! :oops: :lol:

[Sean]

That was quick! Got me some purtty crocs in da mail :bananna:

[Sully]

Correction, Croc's are not "purtty" :crazy: :lol: :no:



Anyone have a Croc's gift cert they want to get rid of or sell ?

[Tipys]

damn hippies living in Boulder whereing crocs while riding your r6 while sipping your startbucks soylette.

[Sean]

damn hippies living in Boulder whereing crocs while riding your r6 while sipping your startbucks soylette.That was dumb. :banghead:

Just trying to help Trevor out ;)

[Sully]

I think he meant "soy latte"... :wtf:

[Canuck]

General Rule #433:
Never diss on anyone or anything, in the written form, unless you can spell.

:lol: I'm going to see how I can add that to the rules.

[Tipys]

That's not fair I will never be able to diss anyone again.


Ok damn hippies wearing their crocs riding their r6 while slipping on a soy latte.


That's what I call a hippie squid.

[Sean]

At least it's spelled correctly and he used the accurate version of "their". Punctuation and over all sentence structure, well, there's still work to be done.

Verdict...it's still just a dumb of a comment.

[Tipys]

Whatever hippie squid

[Sortarican]

I got my Croc's in the mail last week !!! :lol:

I already ate mine.:yumyum:

[~Barn~]

Whatever hippie squid

[Sully]

That's not fair I will never be able to diss anyone again.


Ok damn hippies wearing their crocs riding their r6 while slipping on a soy latte.


That's what I call a hippie squid.

I don't ride an R6 or live in Boulder... and I would never spill or slip on my soy latte. They are too damn expensive ~!

Congrats again, Jon, Natty and the whole team :up:

Why did Crash and Lauren get "special recognition"?

[nattynoo]

Why did Crash and Lauren get "special recognition"?

I think its cuz all of their donations were made in cash so they weren't counted on the day of the event. But I still don't understand why they didn't fix the rankings when they counted in their pledges...who knows. We all know who did best!!!
