Here is a checklist of stuff to bring with you.

• Longboard - I would suggest bringing a board that is 5-10cm longer than you ride at a regular resort like Squaw Valley.	• Extra Binding Parts - Ratchets may be hard to come by in Valdez.
• Avalanche Transceiver	• Avalanche Probe
• Avalanche Shovel	• Climbing Harness – I recommend the basic webbing version. Here is an inexpensive, basic harness from REI.
Locking Caribiner - For your harness. Here is an inexpensive, basic caribiner from REI.	• Pack - It is preferable to have a smaller pack (less than 2000ci)with few dangling straps.
• Goggles - bring at least two pairs and back up lenses for each. Pack the extra set in your pack in case of big crash.	• Gloves - bring two pairs minimum - one for your hands, one for your pack.
• Shell Jacket and Layers - It is nice to have an extra layer in your pack just in case.	• Long Johns - medium weight - there is a bunch of hanging around and setting up - even though it isn't super cold - you do a lot of hanging around in the snow.
• Digital Camera - Useful for getting shots of Mountain faces then reviewing on the playback screen - like the polaroids of days gone by.	• Warm snow boots - You don't want to wear your snowboard boots hanging around the helipad on down days.
• Books / Computer - so you don't go nuts on down days.	• Liver - for down days once again.

This is a pre-made splitboard kit from Voile.

Voile SD Mojo Split Snowboard The Voile Split Decision Mojo Splitboard splits into two for uphill efficiency, the converts back into a solid, tapered all-mountain board for the ride back down. For serious backcountry snowboarders, the Voile Mojo is the solution.

This is the do it yourself version.

Voile Split Decision Kit The Voile Split Decision Kit has what you need to turn any old plank into a killer backcountry splitboard.

HOW TO GET THERE	DOWNTIME
PLACES TO STAY	RIDING

The Goals of tailgating are:
1. Provide shelter
2. Provide food
3. Provide entertainment

Shelter

This is the leading shelter design it is called the MGPT and is a military surplus model.

18' X 36', EXPANDABLE, INCL. ALUMINUM POLES & STAKES
OD GREEN OR DESERT TAN, STOVE JACK, HEAVY DUTY CLOTH W/WELDED SEAMS

This should provide more than enough shelter for any interested parties.

Heat

This stove has a built in hot water tank, and should provide enough heat to keep most of the tent warm.

Power

A small generator should provide enough power for anything we might want to juice up.

The generator will need to sit on a pallet in its own tent some distance from the main compound.
Probably something like this...

Food

A grill will be important - I think charcoal should be good.

Music

Plans are in the works for some kind of sound system. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Internet

The goal is to create a wifi hotspot in and around the basecamp.

We have been looking into options but have yet to find a good option.
