Meet other local snowboarders and find new friends to snowboard with. We'll rip up the local hills and also try to do a few out of province trips.
All skill levels are welcome to join us ... and we'll even let you skiers tag along too ! We always have everyone from a group of beginners to intermediate to those that love the park.
Everyone is required to answer the questions asked when signing up for a daytrip. The questions will pop up after you confirm your RSVP answer. I need this info to plan carpooling and assign rides. If you do not answer the questions then a ride will not be arranged for you.
Rides will be allocated based on those who have RSVPed "YES" AND have answered all the questions. The rides will be based in the order in which people have signed up and answered all the questions. If you RSVP "MAYBE" or do not answer the questions you will not be allocated a ride.
We need more drivers. Last year we always had enough cars going up but this year we have more people needing rides than cars. Please note that gas money is determined based on just the passengers paying for gas. Drivers do not pay for gas since they are supplying cars. If there is one passenger in the car $30, 2 passengers in car - $20 each, 3 passengers - $15. If the driver feels that gas is more than $30 roundtrip for larger vehicles, they may charge more to cover their gas.
Maybe responses will be removed 1 week before the event. Anyone who bails out AFTER I allocated and arrange rides will no longer be eligble for carpooling arrangements. They are still welcome to join the group on the hills but will have to make their own way up (this means you can't take a seat in any of the cars that are part of the group that day). This is to STRONGLY discourage last minute bail-outs since allocating carpool rides then having to reshuffle or leave some drivers short of passengers is a huge pain in the %&$ ... and even worse if it is a driver who bails.
This is the only group that will arrange rides for you. With all other groups you have to find your own rides which means drivers get swamped with requests and passengers have to e-mail a bunch of drivers to find a ride.
Please note that this is a group for adults only so you must be 18 years of age or older to join and particpate.
I've split off the snowboarding portion from the Beach Volleyball group where we were previously combined. That way each group can focus on members who are only interested in one of our core activities.
Some likely road trips:
Dec or Jan - Western canada trip
2011 - Vermont ??
Feb/11 - Blue Mountain
If you need new or used snowboard gear (snowboard, bindings, boots, helmets), contact me as I can set you up with some pretty good deals.
