Was just browsing through the Mt. High Resort forums and came across a post from the marketing director of the resort stating "we will have at least one of those days here this season". Mt. High sucks butt, but it's a free day of riding for scion owners, friends/family. If they have a car show, good luck getting up the hill and keeping your car somewhat clean.

Here's the link....Hopefully it'll come together

Good lookin' out Mr. Purple, I hope the East resort is open on the day this impromptu event happens!

 

sweet im there , all i have to do is pay for beer

 

they havent set a day yet though???

 

YO! thats music to my ears... =0)

before I was even interested in getting a Scion, I went either last year or the year prior with my homie (ex-tC driver) and yeah, I saw some practically snowscoop xB's. =0)

 

All the more reason to put my roof rack together so I'm ready!

 

I am so down for that just have to know what day. :D

 

Wanted to let you all know that while nothing is ruled out at this time, the contact at Mt. High sort of jumped the gun. We have NOTHING planned for Mt. High at this time. That said, there's no guarantee this won't happen....but there's no guarantee that it will either. Stay tuned......

 

Hey, just a suggestion, but could it be coordinated somehow to get a bus to the ski lodge?? Scions and snow just dont mix well in SoCal. Otherwise I might have made it out the past times...

 

keep us posted id like to go snowboarding for free....lol if i can make it up the hill. and got roof racks

 

Well...we'll look into it. It pretty much defeats the purpose of a Scion Owners Event or the Scion Representation we like to bring to the Mountain.

 

im confused

 

That would be a major bust. How can you have a scion day without scions?

 

I'm not sure I'm understanding the logic of needing a shuttle bus. Like others have said, it defeats having a Scion Day if the brand isn't being represented at the resort. The drive up to mt. high is the most mellow drive ever. The chances of there being snow on the road are slim and none, even if it dumps calTrans usually takes care of the roads right away.

 

i second that i have never really hit "snow" "snow" on the way up there. so getting there shouldnt be a prob. plus we have to occupy the lot with scions.

 

would u need chains cuz im scared of spinning out in the parking lot or up the hill. i know in big bear sometimes the parking lot is icy. i dont have roof racks either so i have to figure out a way to get like 3 boards in my car

 

it all depends on teh weather. You might need 'em, or you might not. Here in so cal you only really need chains a few times a year on average if you don't live on the mountain. i drive up to bear about 3 times a week during snow season, and usually use chains 2-3 times a year. like beedee said, the road to mt high is super mellow, and cal trans clears it quick. I'd be more scared of L.A. driver's who can't drive in snow worth crap.

 

im scared cuz i have never driven in the snow...and only seen snow 3 times in my life 2 of which in NY.

 

One thing to remember, the drive to Wrightwood (where Mt. High is) is MUCH easier than the drive to Big Bear.

Another thing to remember, unless the scion event day happens on a day that it's snowing (or a day or two after a big storm) chances are most of the roads will be clear of all snow. I would not worry to much.

 

Lets just say that we are all glad the Mt. High contact jumped the . Although you have nothing planned for Mt. High at "this time," maybe a little gun jumping will bring a repeat of this event closer to reality :D .

I have a thought , why not plan a Mt. High Scion Owners Day after the December 15th roll out of the two new Scion Models (the xD and the xR). That way you can bring both of those cars out here for the official West Coast unvailing . I know you would have a HUGE turn out because many of us that have not won the Miami Trip are waiting to see the cars.
