We want this to be fun but remember first and foremost this is a volunteer event and we are helping the Forest Service. So if it snows and it is not your day you can still come out but please keep to your original commitment as well.

Also, don't forget to track your mileage, starting from home. This is an official gov't volunteer effort so mileage should be tax deductible (consult your tax advisor).

 

[Olorin]

I'd like to volunteer for Sunday, Dec. 3.

 

[Steveandstuff]

Please add my name to the 9th

 

[EricG]

We'll be up getting our tree sometime the first weekend. I can do either day the second weekend, and can be the coordinator.

Unfortunately I'm out this year, I'm working both weekends. I'll give you guys some forecasts as we get closer though, I know you want snow up there!

 

[twbland]

Put me down for Dec 9th

 

[CO_Hunter]

Thanks to those that have signed up. We are only a week out so let's fill in these dates!!

 

[black95]

I'll take Dec 2nd and 10th.

 

[LCPilot]

Please put me in for December 3rd.

 

[Stokes]

I'm going to try to make the 10th at least, Maybe the 3rd too.

@CO_Hunter thanks for starting this thread and getting the volunteers lined-up.

I talked to Ranger Ellsworth earlier in October and told him we would support the event both weekends. He was going to a meeting in early November about the event, but having heard nothing from him, I assume no significant changes from years past. I called him this morning to confirm that we'll be there on dates specified (left a VM). If I get any additional info from him, I will post here.

 

[CO_Hunter]

Thanks. I left Rick a message on his cell a few weeks ago and did not hear back. I figured he was in elk or deer camp.

What are your dates?

 

[black95]

Please change me to the 2nd and 3rd.

Something came up, and I will not be available the 9th or 10th.

 

[SAS]

Ranger Ellsworth called me back and left me a VM. He said no changes from years past; meet at the same location, etc. He will not be present on 2nd or 3rd; Rachel or Mike will be the contact person(s).

I can do any or all of the four scheduled days, planning to be there 2nd and 3rd for sure. Would like to not do both 9th and 10th, so if we have adequate numbers for those dates then scratch me off of one of them.

Looks warm and dusty this weekend for the patrol. No new snow expected b/w now and Sunday, so what little is up there is it. Looks like highs in the upper 40s to lower 50s depending on elevation. Could be a bit breezy on Sunday afternoon. Outlook for the second weekend, looks colder, but dry. Will update that when the time comes...

 

[NateMob]

I want snow!

 

[SAS]

See you guys at the Western tomorrow morning between 8 and 8:30am.

 

[black95]

Schedule is looking a little thin this year. If you’re a lurker, please go ahead and sign up. Really helps with planning to know who’s going to attend. Surprise attendees are great, just harder to plan for.

 

[Stokes]

I will definitely be there to help on Sunday the 10th!

 

[PWCO70crusier]

Weather for this weekend, Dec 9-10...dry, temperatures in the 40s to low 50s depending on elevation. Wind shouldn't be an issue. There is a low chance for snow showers tonight into Thursday, but they will be hit and miss and accumulations <1" expected.
