Just booked our room,life's too short not to attend this event! (Maybe we can set the all time record for private snowcat gathering).
Jim, No that is a Forest Service employee taking Heidi out for a stroll. Photo was taken a couple of years ago at Timberline Lodge 75th anniversary. Timberline asked me to bring the Tucker to the lodge for it. One guy was telling his family that this Sno-Cat was the one used in the Shining movie. Other than the color, manufacture, and number of tracks, I suppose it could have been. When they were filming, the director wanted to go up the mountain and experience a white out so we took him and left him alone with specific instructions not to wonder away from the cat tracks. He complied. Here are a couple of photos of the inside of the Silcox Hut above the Lodge.

Here are a couple of photos of the inside of the Silcox Hut above the Lodge.
What a magnificent structure the Silcox now is. I wish I could find my photos of when we stayed near there during our March 1978 ascent. The place was a wreck and full of snow. It's great that it's been saved.
Here is more Silcox interior. This last photo is when Silcox was the top terminal of the Magic Mile Chairlift. I remember getting off the lift and going into Silcox where the ice on the floor was about six inches thick except a five foot radius in front of the fire place. They served the biggest glazed doughnut I ever loved. I helped with the restoration and it was quite the job to retain the original look and bring it up to code and insulate. Get your reservations in soon as there are only spaces for 20 per night. It will be an experience to eat dinner at the lodge and then hop in your cat to drive up to Silcox for the night. Did I tell you about the sunrise from there?

Hi Snow Kitty lovers,

Thanks for opening this up for me nikos. I am OK with a hammer and wrench but not so much with a computer. We realize that it is a long drive here in a snow machine, but it would be great to see you at the Meow.
seems they were confused some on the arrangements. I got a call yesterday and got it done. .
thanks snow drifter for making a call and getting things in place. scott called me.
it should be fine for the next person to make the arrangements.
i'll be eating at the lodge and driving up to silcox 7000ft for sleeping.
time to order up some extra lights.
jim
jim, after seeing you had some trouble/issue with the follow though, i contacted scott s.( management ) at timberline lodge, i asked him to look into it, very happy to hear he called you and have everything sorted out and taken care of, the folks at timberline lodge are good folks and truly want our event to be successful and enjoyable for all.

Good news I am moving to Bellingham WA This will make it much more likely that I will be able to attend with our DMC1200.

I just put in a call for a reservation
FABULOUS, looking forward to seeing you and everyone else who will be attending, just keeps getting better with each person coming to Timberline, thanks jinn
We still have had a couple of hiccups with making reservations at Timberline Lodge. They have reserved all the rooms for this event, so sometimes you get the response that all the rooms are taken. To avoid this, ask for "In House Reservations". Also telling them that this is for the Cat's Meow Jamboree helps. Sorry for any inconvenience. Scott
just heard that someone bought themselves a wonderful Christmas present, Merry Christmas DAVENET, see ya at Timberline in April,
This is great another east coaster to bring some balance!
Alaska Air seems to have the best flights. Jet Blue and Southwest have some but lots of layover time.
We could always leave now and drive my Tucker? Could use the commuter lanes that way.
