Returning to the idea of a Gathering, I was thinking about fitting one in between clinics (5 weeks starting the first week of January), and leaving for the Aspen Gathering, so somewhere between Feb 7th-25, or after the Aspen Gathering (sometime in mid-March to early April.
The other self-serving idea was to utilize my Ikon pass, meaning Crystal or Bachelor for west of the Cascades (it could also be at Alpental though I may used up all my Ikon days at Snoqualmie by then), or Schweitzer or Red Mt for inland NW.
Assuming that most people tend to attend for at most 3 days at a regional gathering, I was also thinking that maybe a week of 3 days at Schweitzer and 3 days at Red, and people could choose which one they wanted to attend (or one or two days at each). So maybe Sunday/Monday/Tuesday at Schweitzer, for example, and Wednesday/Thursday/Friday at Red. My thought was to avoid crowds on Saturdays, but maybe that’s less of an issue once we get into mid-March.
The idea is that this could work for people in BC (and elsewhere in CA) as well as as inland NW, and be a nice getaway for those of us west of the Cascades.
Or are people really thinking of a one day Gathering at Alpy or Crystal?
Thoughts?
If there’s enough interest we can start a separate thread.
