yea for Spring skiing! Only 5 months to go. Personally, I'm not that serious about any snow sport. Not like some of the pinheads and backcountry avi poodles that live at the base of the Wasatch. Believe the hype about Utah's Greatest Snow on Earth. I'll grab my board and ride only when it's deep. Closest "resort" is 35 miles from my front door. But for the cra-cra spring skiing, get your ass up to Viledisease, or Cordova.

Brighton Ski resort opened, let's see, today. If you guys were serious about skiing, you'd live closer to snow.

Ahh, fuck it. They're only Australians.

IMO, the overwhelming benefit of aluminum alloys for use as material for hexes, or stoppers, (besides weight and strength) is its propensity to gall. The galling helps it hold in placements. Plastic doesn't do that.

DFA, I could think of several other four letter words to describe the rock at Smith other than "tuff".

Right! Silly little bleeder. One [snafflehound] stew comin' right up!

One of the best first layer tops I ever had was pinched from a Church's charity pile of donated clothes. I grabbed it when in Pangnirtung when I realized I didn't have enough clothes to stay warm. It was a funky metallic gold polyester turtle neck that was a little too small (reached to a few inches above my wrists and barely hit my waistline). I put it back in the pile when I left the island four weeks later.

FYI, the Greeks developed periodization over 2,000 years ago. The Russians picked up the study in the 1920's and 30's, but it wasn't long after that Finnish and English exercise scientists started publishing papers on the subject. The Soviet Union's success in Olympic competition had more to do with early childhood identification and developement, IMO. And, clearly anabolic steroids were used on many East bloc athletes. With regards to Peter Puget's original query, if he's 35 years old, or more, he'd probably best benefit from an overall fitness program that combines resistance training with cardio workouts. For the "periodization" part, microcycles on a weekly basis superimposed on a series of mesocycles on top of a macrocycle aiming towards a peak somtime in Spring (a particular event, or two?) would be easily planned. I've used the Workout From Hell as a basis for winter training, and like it very much. [ 11-07-2002, 09:01 AM: Message edited by: freeclimb9 ]

I've been hacking out lung butter and leaking ectroplasma from my schnoz for days. It sucks. Big storm pulse will hammer the Rockies starting tonight. Predicted high winds are gonna jack up any additional base the storm lays down. Ski resorts above Salt Lake have already got a foot, or two, of base.

It's big in Washington, Oregon, and northern California. Real big. http://www.stormsurf.com/page2/links/orsrprt.shtml All the big guns are poised for some serious riding in the next few days. Anybody able to check out the surf?

"zero-sized topic" That's a harsh judgement. Especially coming from a computer. Get that machine in line!

DFA, the '03 Saks men's collection, with its emphasis on neo-traditional classics underpinning the cool elegance of the modern man, is, like, gay. But I'd sleep with Winona. The electronic ankle bracelet could come in handy.

Or did I just misread the data in a massive way? Jay, it could be epic, but I don't know about 50-60 wave faces. A lot of that depends on topography relative to swell direction. The surfer reports are saying it'll be the biggest it's been in years.

The shoe has dropped. Winona: con. What does it all mean? When you coming clean?

I live in Utah, but have no idea if this was really handed out at BYU. All I know is that "Satan never gives up" and I need to "GO INTO THE KITCHEN AND FIX [MYSELF] A SNACK". http://www.fishproducts.com/powerandrubber/sex.html

You're concerned? How do you think Saddam Hussein is feeling this morning? Or for that matter, Kiim Jong Il, or Gerhard Schroeder?

You gotta use the right tool for the job:

uh, did you know "Access to this page is limited. This page is setup for owner access only. You will not be able to access this page unless you are the page owner."

Or leave another sling. It's cheap insurance. Lost a friend when an apparently good looking sling failed. Glad you're alive.

TIMMY!
