EDIT: closed poll. People who were uncommitted or known to be not coming and therefore did not receive a PM are not in my plans. If you want to hook up with us but couldn't plan till later, let me know and I'll convey details and what you'll need to look at to get booked. 8 Icrontians and my older brother should be a damn good time.

I'm trying to gauge interest in a snow trip. Please super-serious responses, friends. This is a real talk™ thing. I'm pretty sure my talk about this got @TroubleBaker all hot and flustered about an IC event. You can also respond if you would go to be at a resort and not actually ski/snowboard, since there are a variety of reasons that might be appropriate. However, if your only is reason is "I've never done it before", I'm gonna cut you.

Respond here

This would be happening in late January or early February. Obviously, I'll be trying to minimize costs overall, but it's always a little expensive to be an out-of-towner doing these things.

TL;DR: Aim to arrive evening of February 6 and leave "later" in the day on February 9. We should have a room(s) for everyone for those nights. You may want to plan time to visit Dan in Parker (suburb of Denver). The more people we have arriving at similar times, the better, since we can then shuttle together at a lower cost.

    So is this kind of like skiing at a resort, with beds and dinners and stuff, or more like strap on a backpack and ski into the forest sort of thing?

    I am tremendously excited for this to happen. Let's do this.

    I'm down for it. We're just not sure exactly where we'll be around that time. But, if we're stable, totally in!

    Aww. Got kinda excited, but now I'm out. Good luck, and just remember: Norway has ski resorts. *wink wink*

    I mean, I would be down for that sort of trip, but I don't know how many others. You'd have to teach us how to fight polar bears ... or something.

    Cross-country skiing wilderness survival would be awesome.

    Oh, I can tell you how to deal with a bear.

    @GnomeQueen, entertaining. Some of it's true though. However, if you throw something at a polar bear, you'll die. If you play dead in front of a polar bear, you'll may as well start greasing yourself up, add salt and pepper, and start roasting yourself (especially if the polar bear is hungry).

  • So...you guys want to come visit me in Colorado?

  • Definitely interested in this. Would be a good replacement substitute for ICRenn.

    Bump for day-time visibility.

    Maybe. :D

    I too would be interested in this.

    I don't know what my vacation status will be... as of right now, I don't have any extra to spare.

    I really hope you pull this together and it's a success and becomes A Thing. I would totally be down for a late 2014 trip.

    She will be as Vioschin/Novalet and herself are tobogganing down the slopes together.

    Bump for interest. Make sure you fill out the linked survey. I'll leave it open until the 27th.
  • TushonTushon I'm scared, Coach Alexandria, VA Icrontian
    Okay, between IC and some Dallas friends and family, I have 19 people who signed up and will be planning for around that amount. I'm going to a youth camp next week and will work on solid numbers after that.
  • primesuspectprimesuspect Beepin n' Boopin Detroit, MI Icrontian
    I need to know very soon if this is a solid yes and where; I have two flight vouchers that I can use for this but they are expiring soon :D
  • TushonTushon I'm scared, Coach Alexandria, VA Icrontian
    Give me an end date, but I can 99% likely choose the weekend in the next couple days.

    My credits expire next week, August 5th.

    February 6-9
  • I feel like 'where' is also an important part of getting plane tickets.

    Unless I missed that part...

    I'm pretty sure airplanes work the same way taxis do.
