I dropped Mike a line a while back but haven't heard back. All we need is a bit of snow to show (and wind). Hell - even if there's nothing organized,
if there's snow and wind it'll be no different than an organized meet because everyone here is jonesing hard.......

Yep - normally the family day weekend. Sometimes the full weekend, sometimes just the Sunday and Monday, sometimes just the Sat/Sun.
All Are welcome. When we run out of beds and couches we still have loads of plush carpet in the new basement ; )
The lake launch is 22 minutes from my front door including a stop at Tim's drive thru.

I have faith that we will get a good dump before its over. Hopefully the really really cold days are done though. I know the temps are great, but I'm
depressed that I haven't had a good kiting day since October. Gotta get blades for the mountainboards if next winter is the same.
