Pats peak Jan 15th 1st race night again

[Vortex]

We try again to start the Pats race Season on MLK night. I'm trying to roll in by 4ish to get some paperwork done, If you can make it early please do. We have to sign release forms get our tags and so on. I would prefer to ski than wait around to get us registered, so do what you can. See ya Monday. If you need my celll pm me. Not sure if it works there. I'll be outside the bar area.

US Cellular seemed to work well last time I was there. Not sure about other carriers.

I'll try to be there 4ish as well.

Not sure what time I'll be there. Depends if i ski at SR on Monday.

 

[roark]

I'm skiing Loon and stopping at Pats for awhile on may way home. Nice way to break up the ride.

 

[tree_skier]

I'll be there around 4:30-5

Don't know how the crowds will be but they're doing the POP that night.

Considered going up but I can't use the AZ discount...may head up later in the week.

 

[Vortex]

That may make it quite interesting. thankx for the info Hammer.

 

[ga2ski]

Just thermofit my tele boot liners . .. . planning to ski all day and into the night tomorrow. Not sure when I'll get to Pat's . .. it all depends on where i ski tomorrow (K, SR, or some other place that looks like it will get hammer). Anyway I'm excited bash some gates.

I just spoke with Pat's (11:40 am on Monday 1/15). they said we are still on for tonight and it was snowing lightly. I plan to go around 3 to play around with my new skis and gear. If i don't see you before, I'll stop for some food around 5ish. Then we can go out make some runs and get in line for some early start positions.

 

[roark]

My plan is about the same. Probably arrive just a little bit later. First time on the new skis as well... definitely need a few warm up runs!

Drive safe everyone, probably a little sloppy out there. Glad I finally got the studded tires on the car again.

Good luck guys. Let us know how it goes! :beer:

Skibum 995 was given the new guy deal to write the trip report... when he gets out of bed:idea: .

Tree_skier finished 1st. Az finished 1st.:smash: Skibum9995 finised 18th. Great for a newbie. I'll save the rest for the trip report. Scott and Ga2ski outstanding finishes, but I won't give them.;-) They booked early something about a freezing rain storm.

 

[ga2ski]

Is Freezing rain a better excuse than watching 24 and getting home to help with wife with misc stuff for my son.

Anyway it was a fun time. We had excellent results. It seemed like a different crew of teams than last year or maybe we are just that much improved.

 

[tree_skier]

Either one is pretty lame. The roads were fine and my house had lost power about 2:30 and didn't get it back until 4 am so there was no 24 at my house.


Oh and by the way I WON now if only I could find a chargers symbol to do the Merriem dance on

OK you early risers, it's written up now.

 

[ga2ski]

OK you early risers, it's written up now.

where? If that was your write-up it is shorter than your resume. Figured you need to be busted on so you could feel like a member of the team.

And to those of you who busted on me for leaving . . . remember when you had/have a lil one . . . were/will you be racing on Monday nights? Gotta know when to pick your battles.
