What we’re about
Let's go outdoors. Snowboard and ski in the winter and hiking and camping in the summer. Are you adventures and looking for friends to do various outdoor activities with. We are too. We started as a snowboarding group but have now ventured into outdoor adventures and more! We love winter sports and enjoy summer adventures as well. When there is snow, we hit up the slopes. In warmer months, we keep up the fun through hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing and other outdoor adventures.

If you don't snowboard or ski, want to learn or enjoy outdoor adventures, we welcome you too!
Get ready to meet with local snowboarders and adventurers! Feel free to post trips & plan event with other snowboarders and outdoors enthusiasts via the message board or email. We will also meet up now & then to share boarding and outdoors stories & ideas about resorts, vacations, equipment, etc. We will do happy hours, social networking and other fun things too!
*We snowboard and/or ski in Mammoth. If not Mammoth, we do local trip such as Mt. Baldy and Big Bear Mountain (Snow Summit and Bear Mountain). We don't discourage venturing to Vail, Aspen, Park City, Whistler, etc. The possibility is endless. Join us. If you are fun, adventurous, love the snow and the outdoors and cool adventures, and enjoy social networking, we welcome you! :)
We are getting ready for our first snowboarding/skiing trip of the year. Are you itching to go snowboarding or skiing? I sure am. I can't wait! Snowboarding. Yeppy!
Mammoth Mountain opens November 8 just in time for the three-day Veterans Day Weekend and we will be there! This will be the third season we have been going as a group and I must say that we have had a ton of fun and made great friends. What I really like about our trips is that the people who go are all great people looking to hang out on and off the slopes!
We have a luxurious condo for the three day weekend. And did I mention the food? Included with the trip are dinners... not frozen pizza, canned soup and microwaved fishsticks, but yummy cooked dinners such as tri-tip, rack of lamb, fresh veggies and dessert!
I checked Mammoth's website and they have season passes on sale until November 10. After that the price will probably double! If you get a pass while it's on sale you can definitely make good use of it on this and other trips we are planning
!
If you don't think you want to ski or snowboard the entire weekend, there is still plenty of cool stuff to do. Ever been to Mono Lake and seen the tufas? It's like you're on another planet! Ever hiked into a volcano crater? Or what about hotsprings? Who doesn't like hotsprings?

See all- Winter Park - Ikon Pass Resort!Needs location
With the Ikon Pass offering so many different mountains and the snow already being fantastic this year in Colorado, we are heading to Winter Park! We had fun the last time we went, and I have a good feeling this time will be the same!
For the uninitiated, Winter Park consists of three interconnected mountain peaks — Winter Park, Mary Jane, and Vasquez Ridge. There is something for every type of rider! And being only 90 minutes from Denver airport, you can get there in no time!
We are staying at the Lion's Gate Lodge - nestled 10 minutes from the resort and a short walk to downtown Winter Park (where the dinner restaurants and nightlife is).
We have three units, and each unit has three bedrooms. Each unit can sleep 8 people but we will keep that at 6 people per unit so no one is in the living room. We will save the living room in case someone snores, lol. So, we have a total of 18 spots.
We have the Lodge from Friday 12/6 until the morning of Friday 12/13. You can stay any portion of that week. The cost is $250 for Friday to Monday and if you stay over, $350 no matter which dates you stay beyond Monday. If you have extra time and can stay a bit later, definitely try to visit Copper Mountain, A-Basin and/or Eldora Mountain, which are also part of Ikon Pass. (There are also a bunch of Epic Pass mountains about 1.5 hours away.)
The funds we put together covers lodging and some snacks/drinks to share. For meals you can dine out or pick up stuff to cook.
Please budget for flight to Denver, shuttle to the lodge, food, and miscellaneous stuff (T-shirt, anyone?). The free shuttles in town are really easy to use (10 minutes to get to the mountain) and we are actually staying in town, near restaurants and all! :)
Getting there: Winter Park is about 90 minutes from Denver International Airport (DIA). Just about everyone flies there. From the airport you can take one of the many shuttles, rent a car or even an Amtrak. Winter Park has info HERE if you need clarification.
How to confirm your spot: This trip is posted on many Meetup groups. I am centralizing everyone going into one group. If you want to go you must RSVP and pay via my main group. Spots go to first paid, regardless of when you RSVP. Click HERE to go to my main group where you can RSVP and get payment instructions.

The ski and snowboard season is here! Come hang out and meet other people to ski/snowboard with. Or, if you are new and are interested in meeting others that snowboard/ski or thinking about it, join us. :)
The biggest thing stopping you from skiing/snowboarding this winter is if you don't know people who go. Here is your chance - everyone at this events wants to go!
What's awesome about our meet-n-greet? We are hosting our meet-n-greet at the Burton Flagship Store! Besides meeting people to hit the slopes with, we also get:
- 20% off all everything except special collections like AG, Step On EST, First Chair or Mine 77
- Burton will be Raffling off One Snowboard!
Let's kick off the season and get to know other members by having a Meet and Greet so everyone in the meetup can socialize and get to know each other.
This event is cross-posted on several LA based Ski/Snowboarding groups so other people not on this group will be attending. In past years we've had 50 or more people show up!
Snowboarding is fun with friends! This is a great way to meet new friends so you can plan your trips!
