I'm thinking about making this a deluxe western ice year, complete with learning to tele-ski in vail (I know how to snowboard, but no skiing yet), hopefully a few days of Vail area ice leading up to the festweek, Ice park action the week of the fest to put my head back on, then into the back country during the ice park madness, maybe this time we'll actually find the climb. Or just go riding in Telluride like we should have, eh Sharpie?
That'll be the tentative plan, pending funding (or at least having a job to come back to) and finding a good dog-sitter... Damn, I'm psyched on ice already and haven't made it to the fall rock season!
I'm planning on flying into Denver, how do you feel about Vail, Steve?

I've been a girly man for too many years, and despite my claims to being a Carolina hard man, I'm not. I even wear bikini briefs. And I like coconut/avacado moisturizing lotion. And champagne, long walks on the beach, and Bette Midler's music.
There. That's better.

Vail? LOVE it!
Plan as we discussed should be GTG. Flying into Colorado Springs would be better though; crash at my place and then head out EARLY to Vail.
I should have the place reserved this week.
Ron, I knew you'd be on it. Its all these other slackers!

Well done. I'm still psyched on the Don Julio, you bring the scotch so I can compare/contrast... What I don't know is how you know about the hypothetical bikini briefs (not admitting guilt of any kind) and the hypothetical lotion choices (again, not confirming anything)? I'm just wondering, because NO ONE knows about those things, if they were to hypothetically exist... the champagne, walks on the beach and Bette Midler stuff though, that's just common knowledge, I thought everyone liked it under the boardwalk?
Reno, you're the wind beneath my wings...
I'm gonna go sit with my dog up on the hill and pretend to be a carpenter so I can join ya'll in January.

well shit...you've almost convinced me...I've gotta find a way to make it out there. My Subi says, "go to hell"...so I guess Chris and I will be catching a plane.
Who's flown into Montrose before? Any suggestions on finding cheap tickets? I've been all over the discount sites and the best I'm finding is $450 HELP!

You're flying, Lisa? What happened to the crazy roadtrip you do each year? I forget when we booked, but two years ago Katie and I got tickets into Montrose for like 370 on travelocity. No matter what, it sucks! Might be better off flying into Denver and hitching a ride with someone.

Hey, Mark? Did you remember to invite trebork2?
I know we were planning on inviting him, and since you're the ranking member (rank member?) of the Social Committee, I figured that job falls to you.

Aww, damn, you know me and that whole 'responsibility' thing...
hey trebork number two, you're cordially invited to partake in this year's Ouray Ice Festival, complete with all debauchery both explicitly and implicitly inferred. For more details please refer to either the 06 or 07 Ice Fest thread and/or the resulting trip reports.
Send your RSVP to someone other than me, or just post in this thread. Any questions you may have will be answered posthaste in said thread... (said thread, hehe, that rhymes)
Sincerely,
Mark, the ranking member (rank member?) of the Social Committee.
