Colorado 2016 Aspen Gathering

[mdf]

The 2017 vote / potluck party will be at my condo tomorrow night, Saturday, from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm. The vote will be at 7:30.
Address will be shared via private message - spread it, but NOT on the open internet. I am near the Snowmass base village. There is no parking at the condo -- the bus stop in the garage is nearby, or you can park in that garage for free if you enter after 5 pm.

Even if you can't bring anything for pot luck, come anyway. I'll prime the pump with a few pizzas or something.

And think about nomination proposals... remember, a good story, a seasonal timeframe, and a gathermeister makes a good proposal.

will the results be announced after the vote? with dates to follow in the future? It sounds from afar that you have do a great job, all your hard work looks to have payed off, wish I could have made it this year and hoping for next year. Thanks Brad

Freshly added to the chair atop Highlands Bowl: I believe @Matchstix added one to the sticker board as well.

Nicely done!

Last nights Pugski party at Snowmass was a great time. My eyeball count of attendees would put it at 35-40 people and maybe more.

A few pics of the festivities.

More to follow if my wonky internet settles down for any amount of time.

The dude in the red shirt joined pugski.com so he could be one of the cool kids

I love it that the ShotzSki was in tow at the after party party.

I also love it that we have such a great mix of women on this site and at the GTG's

 

[Jenny]

@Tricia - I suspect you mean @Rainbow Jenny was ripping it up on the Sambas. Although I WAS doing a pretty darn good job myself yesterday and today, it was at Nubs, not Aspen! (Had a couple of fun days, though. Skied with volklgirl and her DH for a while today.)

Glad to see you've had great snow and weather, especially for the hike yesterday. I grabbed this image from the Highlands webcam at 11 am yesterday when it looked like you were probably starting to hike:



Wish I was there. Have fun!

I read this quote literally seconds after showing the picture with all the ladies to @Luvbug , and we commented on all the women at the Gathering.

Hey, where/when is the gathering next year?

 

[Tricia]

I haven't heard the official announcement but there is a hint here.

Took a break from up valley and skied at Sunlight. What a gem! Still found untracked 4 days after the last snow, great vertical and fun trees! Plus, the daily lift ticket is only $ 65! @Chris Geib @James @SBrown

 

[James]

Yep, consider going to Sunlight. It's got great terrain and hardly anyone there. Great small vibe. Roast a pig in the parking lot.
Had a great time even substituting bratwurst for roast pig.

I'm not sure why, but that picture of @Chris Geib made me giggle.

Fun meeting up with Weems on his mountain at the Merry-Go-Round - here with Betsy, Chris, Kevin, James, Susan and Christy. Good on Weems leading us on a fun tour.
