Not according to the news report above- sounded like west coast hell, east coast heaven!

How difficult will it be to find a room that weekend if I was to be able to come out on a last days notice?
Things might just line up for Mrs. Nikson to join...

very simple, use the room reservation code provided in the thread and book your room, you should be okay, even for one day at the last minute, might have limited room choices, but sure you will be able to get one...

SVS21 (Sun Valley Serenade 2021 - sorry 33 years at a nuclear facility where everything is an acronym) is getting close, is anyone else building a Rocket Plane? I haven't started on mine yet but I do have some cheater concepts in mind. Being a 200# fat ass I do need to recruit a light weight Rocket Jockey, anyone interested? Sno-Surfer are either of your children interested (helmet required)? Anyone else interested in being or providing a Rocket jockey?

SVS21RPR (sun valley serenade 2021 rocket plane races), team PP has 2 sleds nearly done, also have signed two world class pilots,

launch pad is completed

the organizing committee is working on the track location setup, it requires a frozen lake and or iced over road, will update soon on track location.

fyi, sno surfer is a light weight...ooooops I mean he does weigh all that much, pretty skinny guy.....much like a tooth pick

Last year my son and I were gifted a magnificent piece of art with the caveat that we returned a sculpture of sorts or it goes back. For a longtime I thought it was going back and that was the easy way out.

Below is last years Tucker Metal sculpture for those of you who did not attend. Quite a masterpiece and whoever took it was faced with a daunting task of at least making a project to stand on the shoulder of this giant!

The kids and I finally completed our sculpture. We hope the group approves and we appreciate the opportunity!

My wife and I also have our flights, room and SUV booked, should be able to meet up for dinner Thursday night if all goes well and enjoy all that Sun Valley has to offer Fri, Sat, Sun...can't wait to see more faces associated with all the awesome snowcats in this group! Is anyone else that attended the 2021 Snowcat Clowder in Michigan going to be at this snowcat serenade?

When you are still learning the tricks it’s nice to have a great Sno-Cat mechanic on your side. Bob Gallegos of Bob-Bardier Snowcat.

wanted to take a moment

to thank each and everyone that is coming to the gathering of old grousers at the snow cat serenade, truly know how much time and effort it takes to get to one of these events, and without you, there is no event,

again, thank you so much

PP
Well I would like to thank you for putting this serenade on. I know that it takes a very large effort to put a gathering like this on. Thank you very much, and my family and myself are looking forward to the event.

The Gmoose-1000 Cheater Rocket Plane plans have been drafted today, fabrication will commence tomorrow. The plans have been marked confidential so they cannot be shared here. However, major components consist of plywood, 2 x 6's, lots of screws, and the secret weapon (6 cross country skis). The Gmoose-1000 (if it works) will have the ability to accommodate from small to large jockeys with the patent pending length adjustment feature. Stay tuned for some spy photos to be shared soon.

Also, do we know when the launching of the planes will be, I have to make sure my specially trained rocket plane jockey arrives on time.
