Boy, it sounds like you are trying to Jinx everyone.:biggrin:
The ****ty part is Weather.com in updated until next weekend... And although it will most likely change 8 times before then, they are calling for showers on opening day. When I saw this I figured I would ask since I even went as far as booking a hotel room at that fancy pants joint at the mountain so I could consume mass quantities of beer and not have to drive home. The real kicker is they keep $50 of my money if I cancel up to 3 days before and they keep all my money if I cancel within 3 days of saturday. Just trying to figure things out...

If it rains too hard, just do the following:

1.) Keep the room

2.) Buy booze

3.) Look in the phonebook under 'E'.

4.) Play 'governor of New York'

:happydance:

ahh boys, dont be so reliant on weather.com. being that i follow the weather on almost 3 different websites, weather.com unfortunately has the worst reliability. accuweather.com isn't callin for any rain (some the day before tho) on opening day. maybe go with their prediction. but im sure it'll change

The last time I rode Diablo in the rain was 04 I think -- when you used to be able to enter 'Twist' from the other sie across the off camber wet rock.

That was challenging. WOOT!( it still is challenging, just different - I miss seeing people wash out with the slightest touch of brake on that rock in the dry!)

The party will be even more fun with a bunch of muddy dirty downhillers drinking it up together, after all, half of us will probably start the party early :-)

Rain or shine, I'm there. I bought a season pass and I don't mind getting down and dirty.

jsut some advice if its raining out DONT HIT THE WALL RIDES!!! i made the mistake last year. haha

And beware the rocks.. I skip RTN in the rain, its not a bug drop, but its big enough to go wrong.... lulz... slippy rock... (I would hit it wet in the past until I saw a slippery-incident...)
