this weekend can't come any faster!

I am so going for dirtiest car!

[SoCalS4Avant]

Ok...so it's $15 to PARK at Snow Valley - even for spectators? Yikes! There's going to be a lot of people parked on HWY 18. Just make sure they all know that in order to park on HWY 18 without getting a ticket, they'll need an ADVENTURE PASS. Day use passes are $5 I believe. I do have two passes (one is a guest pass), so I MAY be nice and consider allowing someone to use it if you don't want to pay to park.

Randy, Nick, EVERYONE ELSE - you guys will all be at Snow Valley? If you feel like breakfast on Saturday morning, and want to start off in Lake Arrowhead, hit me up. We can have mini-gtg, and roll from there.

I'll probably be in my E30, though, so don't hate!

[Quattro]

Dan, I have to be up early because of Nick, I will certainly call you...wait nm you will be in an e30? that is what you gave up your s4 for?

Anthony needs to remove all your power, immediately.

[SoCalS4Avant]

Audis. Like any of us drive those.

We'll see. If I drive an Audi this weekend, I certainly don't want to end up in the dirtiest car category with Randy. Which would mean I'd have to wash them. Hmmmm.

I think the snow will be gone by then , forecast shows sunny and 60s for the weekend
plus u could join the EC caravn friday night if you want

[SoCalS4Avant]

Snow will definitely be gone by then. It'll be gone by tomorrow...if it isn't already. Highs were supposed to be in the upper 40's, and that'll melt the little snow they got.

[SoCalS4Avant]

Also, roads are open and in perfect condition.

[Slave IV]

What day are you guys going? My friends have an album release party on Saturday so I don't want to do anything else on that day.

I'll be at the show on Saturday only. I think the rest of these guys are full-weekenders.

[SoCalS4Avant]

The snow will definitely be gone. Here's a pic of the place from this morning.
