Due to more the number of people that agree to have a NS meet at boreal, this will be the thread for it.
I think the most reasonable dates to do the meet would be on weekends since not everybody lives near tahoe. Most likely a saturday or a sunday.
I'll throw out some dates(hopefully there will be more than just one NS meet so those who can't make it the first time will have another chance)

Any random weekend (sat/sun)

weekends that might have higher turnout rate due to holidays/breaks:

Feb 14-16 (president's day-might be crowded/might not-not that many ppl are going up this year anyways because of the economy? besides, who doesn't like playing human slalom? lol

April 4-12(this is spring break for a lot of people)

if you're planning on going, post it up here.

Those are like the worst dates possible...  I don't wait in lift lines, and hate skiing around gappers. Come on slaughter, make it mid week!

Make it friday!  Most people, with enough foresight, can make it on a friday.  You then also have 'friggen fridays' for us college students.

I think midweek would be bullshit cause there is no way I'm getting up there midweek midsemester. 


anyways, I am obviously interested in this ordeal.

I would love to make it mid week, but im not sure everybody can make it up there. Dunno about the rest of NS, I think a lot people have school...

I don't think weeknds are that bad anyhow, ii've been to boreal enough even on the holidays there isn't much of a lift line, maybe like a 2 minute wait or something. People should start voting for a certain week in addition to "signing up"

good dates for me are presidents day weekend, spring break, and possibly one of the random weekend dates, depends which though. I think a lot of the NSers would agree to do this on a weekend. But you could still do one mid week if you'd like.

I get out of class at 9 on fridays, so I could be there around 11, 12ish.  that is like a afternoon,nightish sesh which I think would be cool.  We could probably convince shastafarian to come as well. 


I will probobly be going to boreal a lot more since the shiest is slacka lackin, so hit me up if you see me.

It'd be impossible to collaborate with everyone on a forum. You should just set a date, I'm sure most people on NS ride every day anyway. Just avoid busy weekends and holidays.

I spoke with Jon from boreal and the crowds on weekends/holidays aren't so bad...
If I'm not mistaken, most of us are down with weekends.
so what i want to do now is take a count.
the NS meet will be on the weekend of Feb 14-16th.
Probably the saturday of that weekend.

so who's down  like mayor brown?!?!

Assuming I don't piss off the old lady, I will probably be having a long night of adventurous sex and champagne, making the next morning a little rough. 

though if I mark it down in my calendar, it might happen.

Or blew it up? haha. I remember to ask anyone that, its always the boring "hey have you heard of newschoolers?" lol

We've had 2 more additions since i updated the list. I'll update the list as we get closer to the first date, I don't want to update the clog the thread every time ONE extra person joins. But ever person counts!

Besides that, has anyone gone to boreal recently? Hows the snow condition?
