GraemeWare Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 So I'll be at the Valero Gas Station1502 E Yosemite Ave, Madera CA 94638 at about 10AM As well, my group will be heading out to snow board Sunday if anyone else would like to come ( http://www.skichinapeak.com/lift-tickets ) Justin, For info. there is also a "Subway" in the little row of shops there, oh, and a doughnut shop. Although the turn-over is high, so they could have closed since I was last there ..... Regards, Graeme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcproven Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 If the RRC feels like making the trip (which is our version of inshallah), we'll be up there on Friday, mid day, not sure if anyone else would be, but we will be having pizza at the village for dinner, very likely, so if you are around, stop by, if you feel so inclined.

DHappel Posted February 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 Michele and I are heading up Friday, as is Lutz. Possibly some others. I'm hoping to get in a little snow-shoeing; maybe in the form of some trail pre-running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdvRovr Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 The last several months have not been kind to my trip plans. Brittany has to handle a major audit at work that may bleed over the weekend. Probably won't know if we can make it until late Friday night.

DHappel Posted February 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 Weather might be interesting this year...Looks like highs are around 50 thu Wednesday then it starts to cool off with snow for Sat/Sun. Of course, it is called a 'Snow Run' for a reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Justin Does your spot have enough room for my popup trailer?? I'm sure we could manage to fit it. I checked online and I believe we are like the only people camping that weekend But for me and my group we plan on just setting up the RTT, so we should have more than enough space for ya Also for what ever reason the separation between our neighbor site is showing to be double the size of others.

drafdog Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Sooooooo....the kids and I are in a play and rehearsal got cancelled for this weekend so the family and I will be able to head up to Shaver.

DHappel Posted February 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 yada yada yada kids, musical, blah blah blah SWEDISH AU-PAIR. Wait - what was that last part???? As for having 6 people along, you may want your own spot just for a little privacy. The spaces can generally handle 2 tents/rigs without any problem but you'll have a full-house. Plus you'll need room for the stage. And a changing room for between acts. And room for the orchestra.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHappel Posted February 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 As we're almost there, let's talk about the run groups. The plan as outlined in post 2 is two groups with me leading the early risers at 7:45 and Lutzi leading the sleepy-heads at 9:00 We have a lot of rigs this year and with the weather we've had it's certainly going to be a lot of stuck-time. I'm hoping since we're doing our runs on Sunday others may go on Saturday and cut trail for us. Still, expect to work on your recovery skills. We also need to make a point of getting moving ON TIME. So plan to be ready to roll BEFORE the departure time so we can be wheels-up at 7:45 and 9:00 instead of just bumbling around trying to get rigs packed and moving then. With that all out of the way, who's up for which run group? Ideally we'll be fairly evenly split. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psykokid Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 So for the SCLR Contingent: Heard from Eric with TR yesterday morning and he's not going to be able to make it. He was planning on coming - but unbeknownst to him, his wife made plans for his birthday which is this weekend. Havent heard anything from Keanan or Garrett as of yet. Will touch base with them tomorrow to get a yay/nay. Will touch base with Brad as well. Shaver is relatively close for him since he lives in Bakersfield. Chris, Jose, Myself, and Erez + 1 are still on board. Hopefully this upcoming storm cools down a bit and gives us snow instead of rain. The forecast was looking good for snow, but now it's looking like rain/snow/rain/snow.. in that order from Friday with maybe a little bit of sun on Sunday with more rain for the drive home on Monday.

DHappel Posted February 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Last time I looked it said rain Friday changing to snow Sat and Sun but who knows with the weather-guessers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psykokid Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 Last time I looked it said rain Friday changing to snow Sat and Sun but who knows with the weather-guessers. Here's the current NWS forecast for Shaver Lake from Friday on: FridayRain and snow, becoming all rain after 10am. High near 48. South southeast wind around 15 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Little or no snow accumulation expected.Friday NightRain before 10pm, then snow, possibly mixed with rain. Low around 31. Breezy, with a south southeast wind 15 to 20 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Little or no snow accumulation expected.SaturdayRain and snow showers likely, becoming all snow after 10am. Cloudy, with a high near 48. South southeast wind 5 to 10 mph becoming west in the morning. Winds could gust as high as 15 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible.Saturday NightA slight chance of rain and snow showers. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 28. North northeast wind around 5 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%.SundayPartly sunny, with a high near 51. Calm wind.Sunday NightRain likely. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 31. South southeast wind 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.Washington's BirthdayRain. High near 50. Breezy, with a south wind 15 to 20 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. Just looked at the webcams and it's currently raining in Shaver Lake @5600', but up at Rancheria which sits @8000' and it's snowing there.. So less snow in town, but more on the area where the trail runs. Hopefully the snow level drops some more because i'd rather deal with snow than rain.

Justin Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 So I will be arriving Saturday at noon at the Valero Gas Station 1502 E Yosemite Ave, Madera, CA 93638 If anyone wants to ride up with us, feel free. I was going to try to head up earlier, although I feel with the snow etc I'd rather go around noon time. Does anyone think we will need chains getting up that summit?
