If it's too windy it will be closed anyways and we'll cancel the trip.
I just hope the equipment up there didn't break in the storm.

Aww yiss. I, too, will be joining these shenanigans. Despite having never done any kind of winter sports. Much hilarity will ensue :) |

Would card work or do you need cash ? |

Fair enough - I didn't see the post about renting snow gear. Either way, I found my gear. Ya'll are going to get to see me faceplant, dive, roll, and otherwise enjoy my way down the mountain any way but on my feet.
When will we know when and where we're all meeting up?
Also - how crazy of a place is it? I've never run with a helmet, but is that a really dumb idea here? I've only ever hit slopes in the northeastern US. |

Will probably give the raw video to ccp as well so that can do something with that. |

It's a tiny ski area, but I always use a helmet. I think it's a bit silly to snowboard without a helmet, but I guess falling on skis is less common.

Honestly I don't have the room to bring a helmet in my luggage and I asked both the ski place and the rental place said that they don't have/rent helmets and know no one who does. So If I ski/snowboard it will have to be without a helmet.

yeeaahGǪ I'm a boarder. And I agree, it's a bit sillyGǪ I should get a helmet, but I haven't been riding enough lately to merit the purchase. After Equto's post, I'll see what kind of thing I can swing out here. See if I can finally find one. |

I don't have you on my list of "confirmed"... should I add you?
I can loan someone a helmet, but tbh, if we have someone going who has never snowboarded in their life, I'd rather lend it to them, because they really need it.

right... flight gets in at kef at 1045, so if I can get from kef to my hotel near hallgrimskirka, checked in and changed and out to CCPs offices for 1pm, count me in - I will update tomorrow as soon as I am 100%. Gÿå
thx for organising this! Gÿå
I assume the slopes are ok for someone who has done a weeks skiing before? |

Hey saw your Tweet
Schlummor and myself land at Kef 11:55 so we are very unlikely to make it to Reykjavik in time for the bus. We would still like to join but we will have sort out our own transport directly from the airport. Working on that as well as sourcing some ski attire currently... :P
Not 100% sure we will make it but hoping things work out. |

@CCP_karkur - myself, silas and chlummor are now car hiring from kef to the slopes, so wont need bus tranportation.
what time do the slopes / area actually shut, as I need to be in central rek to pickup a northern lights tour from 21:00. (appreciate it says 21:00 on OP, but with regards to the hire shop - when do they shut?)
very exvited! Gÿå |

It closes at 21, and I believe the rental also closes then, but we (the bus) will leave around 6pm... that should be plenty of time, but you could of course keep going since you have a car.

I have some bad news... the wind is not being nice to us (not the first time this week it's causing me trouble :P) and currently the ski area is closed. They'll have more news around noon, but it doesn't look good and I think it's likely that we have to cancel the whole thing :(

Its a bit of a blessing in disguise as I'm stiff as a board from the football last night, but if the slopes are closed we may have to prop a bar up this afternoon

Sadly the ski trip has been cancelled :(
I'm really sorry about that, the wind forecast was looking so good 2 days ago, but now it's really windy up there and they won't open the mountain today.
But thanks all for almost going, it was almost a lot of fun!
