Re: Re-Post of the McCallin' All Cats 2018 Event Schedule

Welcome to McCallin' All Cats 2018 in McCall, Idaho!


Saturday February 24 at Cougar Mountain Wellington

Cougar Mountain Lodge has 7 nice rooms available and we have them all blocked. So if you want to travel down there on Hwy 55 towards Boise Friday night? The Lodge will be providing breakfast before we get going from the Wellington Snowmobile Park. Valley County will be grooming trail for us on their road well up into the mountain to the West of the Lodge. Some of us will be scouting the area in a few days and plan pictures and a full report.

So...what do you think?

Mr. Bike, Could you tell us more about the Saturday activities? Like how far to the Wellington Park and if we should head back to McCall after for motel rooms? Maybe for those coming from OR,WA,CA we should head south and out via Hwy 52 through Emmitt? How is that road for trailering?

 

[vintagebike]

Our thoughts were for the out of towners to either head down on 55 to Boise after the event, stay over at Cougar Mountain Lodge Saturday or head back to the McCall hotel. Its about 1 hour from McCall to Cougar Mountain and about 1 hour then to Boise. Main Hwy 55 is a nice drive and is well maintained during the winter. Lots of folks last time had to leave early to beat the coming storm so this time Sunday was left free for a travel day. It will be worth it!

 

[JimVT]

Putting on the leavenworth ones we noticed some people always traveled home on sunday.
Nothing was said about an idaho snowmobile permit this year. So i'm assuming it isn't needed.
Jim

 

[vintagebike]

Working on the permit issue now.

 

[vintagebike]

Can you PM or email me your phone number. I have info for you on the OHV permits. Steve

 

[Mother Tucker]

Is the best western offering a cut cat rate?

 

[teamster]

I'm bringing my Tucker, which is insured for $3,000,000 liability insurance under my commercial policy, with no license and 2 snowmobiles that have liability and license plates valid in Alberta. What do I need to operate all 3 units in Idaho, and where do I get all that's required? Thanks

 

[vintagebike]

Yes, Best Western is offering an even better rate than last year. And permits will be available on site "if" we need them. The regulations are still being decided.

 

[vintagebike]

Yes, Just say you are with the vintage snow cat folks.

 

[GlacierSean]

I was watching the videos and looking at the photos from last year's event and didn't see any bombardier cats. So I booked my room at the Best Western a few weeks ago. Looking forward to meeting everyone and attending an event that is so well planned out. Gonna try and bring some of my cat skiing crew. Who else is going? Will this be the biggest gathering of snowcats? Will most manufacturers be represented?

[tucker]

[vintagebike]

Stopped by the Best Western McCall today to check on the reservations. Jessica says they are quite a bit ahead of this time last year. She is planning a very special breakfast for all of us at poolside on Thursday before the events at Brundage.

 

[Track Addict]

I will be missing you all this year but thinking about you daily looking at this great piece of artwork I scored in McCall last year.

Have two more spots on either side so put a place holder on my next awesome
Prints!

 

[vintagebike]

Signed limited edition prints of ‘The Ghost Track’ , “The Torpedo’ being created now and the few remaining of ‘Sophie 2017’ will be available for 2018.

 

[vintagebike]

There have been quite a few Cat Fanciers asking about a charity auction at the Friday dinner. So if you have something to offer, let us know and we will make it happen. The Timberline event had lots of cool stuff. Maybe Tucker, Inc. will donate some steel track rollers?

 

[vintagebike]

Our opening day (and night) Wednesday February 21, 2018 at Little Ski Hill. They are starting their season a little late this weekend but it's snowing all next week.

Cougar Mountain/Wellington on Saturday Feb 24 2018

There are only 4 rooms available at the Cougar Mountain Lodge for Friday night for an early start to the Wellington event on Saturday. I stopped by there on Saturday on my way to the family Christmas in California and got to meet Dave, the chief groomer and trail boss for Wellington. He says that every one there is excited to be a part of our vintage Snow Cat Roundup. He runs a BRAND NEW Piston Bully and promises a great day and plans on grooming a nice but challenging 14 mile trail up to the top with turnarounds cut in for shorter trips too. I showed him a bunch of pictures of our cats...he had one word to say...”Wow”. Dave and his real live Snow Dog will be waiting for us.

Larry the Winter recreation director from Valley County Idaho and Terry from the Idaho Snow Machine Association have been telling me for years “We have to get your Snow Cats up to Wellington”

 

[vintagebike]

Merry Christmas- Pass it on

 

[4TrackCat]

Last year a few of us ventured up past the reservoir at Jug Mountain Ranch. We had a bit of everything from untracked snow to partially open creeks to fallen trees. All of which made for great memories and challenges to work through. It was a great time for sure.

 

[vintagebike]

The crew at the Jug is promising even more terrain and adventure for 2018.

[vintagebike]

Thanks Brian. Be sure to have plenty of spark plugs for flathead Chryslers and old air cooled VWs. Brian is unfortunately cat-less for 2018 but I’m working on that.

To add to the local support Lakeview Chevron in the middle of town wil again be offering a substantial discount from their posted fuel prices (old picture with high price from a few years ago) to all us cat people.
Just tell them before pumping (that’s pumping not jumping)
Also, they have recently added non-ethanol premium and still offer real service station services.

Friday Night February 23, 2018

The dinner Friday night will be at the famed North Fork Lodge in McCall. Services are being provided by the catering crew from the Brundage Mountain resort. This should be HUUUUUUGE.

 

[Mother Tucker]

2 days of snow in Princeton.

 

[Mother Tucker]

Had an epic couple of days of snow, looks good here, did any of this storm get inland to McCall?
