I think I'm going to do about 12 to 5 pm. I think the snow will be coming in later in the day.

I'm pretty flexible to go when the snow will be good. Keep in mind though that Saturdays are typically the busiest day of the week, you'll be getting there right around the peak. There's also the Mountain Dew Vertical Challenge going on that day from 8am-3pm, so keep that in mind.

True. Hoping the forecast scares away at least the never-ever crowd.

You're right, it usually does. I think we had one snowy Saturday last year and the crowds were pretty light until later in the day when it cleared up a bit. It's kinda screwed up how the place is the least busy when the conditions are the best...

i might be spanning the steve o/greg and bvibert shifts. i'd like to get started on the earlier side but also want to take advantage of the ct poe.

I'd prefer to be earlier, before the majority of people show up, but I gotta balance that with when the conditions will be best. I'll probably wait until Friday night to make the call.

This storm is getting pushed up to be a Saturday night / Sunday thing as of right now. Might just have to push this to Sunday.

I'm flexible. Sunday first chair would be sweet.

i'm less flexible due to kids and their schedule but i'm going to start plotting for an 8:00 start on Sunday, sans kids. if it dumps and they don't groom i might actually forgo fresh pow bumps for some runs down GB before other folks start showing up. Did i once hear something about AZ members getting special privedges like a 7:30 chair vs. the public 8:00 ;-)

Bring on the snow!

i agree on ripping a few untracked on gunbarrel or even stinger before attacking the bumps. the bumps will certainly see less traffic between 8 and 8:30. :snow:

btw, out for saturday. in for sunday.
