Chances are slim for a visit to the ice pond this season, was planning on an August date. >
Have fun!

My guess is the geriatric crowd will appear at reflection lakes around 9ish. But folks tend to continue to arrive until 12:00 or 1:00 and start leaving about that time as well, with the most stalwart of the athletes continuing to get soaked until about 2:00 or 3:00 if the sun holds out.
Folks have also been know to continue the festivities with tail gate parties back at reflection lakes.
We actually had a bevy of non-skiing spectators for last year's spectacle.
So if you or any of the rest of you want to show your non-skiing friends and loved ones how really asinine backcountry skiers can behave, this would be your very best chance
If the past is any indication, you'll likely have so much fun you'll be back again next year.

Oh noooooooo...I missed last year thanks to leaving for school a week early; now this time I have a gimpy hip which has also forced me to miss numerous other skiing opportunities this summer. :'( > With any luck I'll be able to make it someday...have fun, y'all!!

Nothing like a great video from last year to bring on the smiles and know that some of us can be card carrying AARP members, get senior discounts and still play like kids . Strap on the sunglasses, bring the "jungle juice" (the mosquitoes are hungry) and relax with a mountain margarita for Slush Cup 2007 .

That's a serious set-back for the entire event. Ol' John Deere has attained near "Rock Star" status in his ability to entertain the masses at this event (for those that have not yet made the event, that's John Deere's picture on the "cover" of this thread). We will sorely miss him.
If memory serves, Glenn, you will have some youngsters that will be disappointed as well.
Eric - We'll miss your coconut rack as well. Sorry you're laid up, mate.
On another note, we know we've hit the big time when we've made GATOR'S BLOG . It'd be fun to have a few ranger playin' with us in the pond, eh?
With that kind of notoriety it would probably be a good idea for us all to take heed of JERRY'S CAUTIONARY NOTE .
See y'all Sunday.
Rock on.

Sad news for us in Eastern Washington. .... We won't be able to bring Kevin aka John Deere over for your entertainment.
