Downhill weather forecast. Looks like a potential nasty w/e on the rockpile. Duhno if we're gonna make it. Don't really have all proper gear for potential avy conditions.

Anyone fer sure??

[PWDR8S]

Good potential for snow up there this weekend and rain elsewhere. I'm not going.... have a rock wall project to get done before black flies come out in swarms.

[kfarrar]

where are you building a rock wall?

[kfarrar]

Oh stupid me. You said rock wall not rock climbing wall.

Are you building a jail???

[djspookman]

i'll be there.. i'm hoping for a good weekend regardless! The weather reports in NE can change in a second, so I never trust them!

[2plankerider]

in 100%

the only way i'll back out is when i get there and conditions do not permit. even then, i'll still be chillin for the weekend at :shelters:

[PWDR8S]

Are you building a jail???
Yup.... to keep my sanity locked up so I can keep going up to TUX every chance I get! http://www.timefortuckerman.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif

[PWDR8S]

And yes, I am also building a climbing wall on the back of the house.

[elwood]

yeah..I'll be there 100%. I think the weather will be fine.

"I'd keep playing. I don't think the heavy stuff is going to come down for a while."

[kfarrar]

can I come play on your rock wall?

[Affix Snow]

Me = 100%

Even if conditions suck, i think we'll have a stellar weekend terrorizing EVERYONE at the shelters.

The circus is coming! The circus is coming!

[Snowboarder4206]

Im in 100%. I think the weather will be fine. Im going for the summit.......as long as the avy conditions are ok. Im all geared up for cold weather and winds and such. Just not ready for a avalanche, but who is? I dont care to ski or board this weekend. Just wanna make that summit. And hopefully a trusty ice ax and crampons will get me there :beer:

[DMC]

Just not ready for a avalanche, but who is?

Anyone who has taken the courses - understands snow and has the tools to make the right decisions is ready...

Take a class next Winter!! It's fun...

[elwood]

My percentage on this weekend just dropped. If it's going to rain, I have a ton of crap I should be getting done around the new house. Bummer, but I am going to make a last minute decision on this...

[Affix Snow]

Apparently they need to know WHO is in the tent, so i guess people cant complain if there isnt a who crew one nite....like if its just me in there and a group of 4 want my tent, spot, i can say ive got 3 others registered and say "you wanna fight about it?"

[elwood]

So what's the deal with me checking in? (Assuming all systems are go).

[Affix Snow]

[Affix Snow]

They said hike up at nite and register w/ caretaker/ranger in the AM....EARLY!

If you stay in my tent, you have to register yourself and pay for a pass or whatever they call it.

[PWDR8S]

Give a shout on 9-14 on your radio....or look for the really obnoxious group drinkin' early.

[DMC]

The terrible trio...
psyched!

[PWDR8S]

If you happened to look up in the sky and it's clear.... http://timefortuckerman.com/photopost/data/500/1659alienship.gif

LYRID METEOR SHOWER: The annual Lyrid meteor shower peaks on Friday, April 22nd, when Earth passes through a stream of dusty debris trailing Comet Thatcher. This is not an intense shower. Nevertheless, if you wake up an hour or so before dawn on Friday, and watch the sky, you might see a sprinkling of meteors emerge from the vicinity of the bright star Vega. Expect one every 5 to 10 minutes or so. (Note: This is a northern hemisphere shower; southern observers can stay in bed.)

THE MOON & JUPITER: Here's something you can definitely see: The full Moon and Jupiter will be pleasingly close together all night long on April 21st-22nd. Look for them rising in the east at sunset on Thursday. Jupiter is at its closest to Earth this month, so it's absolutely brilliant; only the Moon itself is brighter. Together they're eye-catching and beautiful. (If you're outdoors on Friday morning looking for Lyrids, you'll also see Jupiter and the Moon hovering near the western horizon--a nice bonus.)

AURORA WATCH: Earth is about to run into a high-speed solar wind stream, and that could spark a geomagnetic storm. Sky watchers in Alaska, Canada and Scandinavia should be alert for auroras on April 22nd or 23rd.

The terrible trio...
psyched!

I'll be there friday night....looking forward to meeting such a fine crew. TMC beers are in order:

Elwood - Guinness I presume

Don't know about the rest:

DMC - Tequila, doesn't talk about beer
ISpoiler (think he got to TMC first) - Duvel doesn't come in cans.
Affix - No clue.

So unless I hear otherwise, in my pack it's Guinness, Boddingtons, Speckled Hen and Quatre-Vingt.

Cluck.

Steve

[DMC]

I like good beer...
Boddingtons is great!

[2plankerider]

wine
rumplemintz
blackberry brandy

it's all packed...see you all up there.

my original plan was this coming weekend, but at the moment everyone is wavering, and thinking about next weekend.
any one have any thoughts, This will be My ONLY trip up.
should I risk this weekend, or risk the next.

thanks for any advice

I support all those who chose to bag it this weekend because of weather or any other concerns.

I love Tux when its not over-crowded. :cool:

[smann]

I think thats it, might as well go while the getting is getting something....

this weekend could turn up nice for a little bit, and if not, Its a nice refreshing shower to hike in.

I should be up and I'll be on the talk-about.
friday nite hotel, saturday hike, weather dependant after that....
