Idaho: Snow Kite Soldier Caravan

Nick · Thu Feb 05, 09 2:56 pm **Idaho: Snow Kite Soldier Caravan**

Snow Kite Soldier is February 20-22. For more information please see the website http://www.snowkitesoldier.com/events.aspx

I am driving out Thursday Feb 19th. If you are planning on going lets use this tread as a Caravan/Carpool Thread.

I think it will be a great event on some of the best Snow Kiting Terrain in the country.

Hope you guys can make it!

I was planning on heading out solo Thur. afternoon or evening from Portland and would be interested in carpooling/room share if anybody would like to cut costs. I need to be back by Mon. afternoon. Hit me up if you're interested and want to figure something out.

Matt we are waiting to hear back from a few others for our carpool. If they can't make it you can hop in with us. I should know by this weekend.

Nick we should be leaving pdx late thursday afternoon...we'll talk at the party and work out the details...and then forget it all when I wake up sunday morning. Twisted Evil

How long is the drive out there?

It looks like its like 530 miles from PDX. Is that about right?

Google maps says 8 hours....they always overestimate so my guess is 6.5-7 hours

Drive time from Hood is about 7 hours. Don't forget the time change. Take Interstate 84 to Mountain Home and exit onto Highway 20 East toward Fairfield. I'v kited 8 of the last 10 days. Another storm rolled through last night. Headed up again today. I'll post some pictures soon.

Here is the other lodging option. I believe they have a handful of lodges still available.

Soldier Mountain Ranch
Route 1, Box 2070,
Corral, ID 83322
Phone (208) 764-2506

2 Bed/2bath for $145
3 bed/2bath for $180
$70 for 1bedroom

If you have extra bed space or have a friend unable to attend, please contact me. I have several floaters who would share the burden.

It happens I have to be in Los Vegas on Tuesday and Wednesday the 24th and 25th, since this is on the way I don't see how I could miss it.

I need to place to stay, preferably a room but floor space would do. If you have a room or space let me know? Price?

I expect to arrive late Friday and depart on Monday.
