Where's PDX? Portland? If so that might be a little too far away. But thanks Walter!

Hey, a friend of mine in Golden, B.C. wants to borrow my portaledge for a trip to Yosemite/Zion this spring. If anyone in the Seattle area is going up there soon and can transport it in exchange for some B.C. nugs from my buddy in Golden let me know!

Yeah we snagged one of the first shipment to the bookstore in Golden. The new guide's rad, its got so much more shit including all the route's I won't ever do like M-16 and Reality Bath. Dru: had a bluebird day driving by Chilliwack. Those Skagit Mts. are pretty cool. Looks like there would be some ice up Hwy. 5 if it was ever cold enough eh?

Hey just got back from the Canadian Rockies. Had a kick-ass time climbing ice with my buddy Solin. We did Guiness Gulley to High Test near Field, Murishon Falls and Polar Circus on the Jasper Highway, Lady Killer in Kicking Horse, and a route on Mt. Hunter in between Golden and Field during which the slopes above us decided to kick down a big wet heavy slide which just nearly missed up. It was my first trip up there and its way rad. The locals said everythings not in as fat as usual but the dependable stuff is in nice. Getting warm though.

I'm off for the Rockies as well. Have a good week y'all! I promise not to have any fun.

Pope are you arguing with yourself again. Its obvious Recriminator is one of you avatars. As is Dwayner, RURP, Donna-Top-Step, et. al. And we can now verify that Chongo's friend Martha Stewart is actually you.

Those sweet treats for Easter look so nummy. Martha's so amazing.

A detour to Butte, Montana is in order

Caveman I'd ski you into the ground so quick you'd think you just took it in the ass from Lambone. [ 02-21-2002: Message edited by: specialed ]

I've only skied there in the summer. I think it would depend on what part of the Tatoosh you want to go to. I'd ask MattP for details, he knows everything.

You guys are soooo

Pope I didn't want to have to tell you this, but, well... I'm your father. That's right I'm your DADDY!!!

Ouch! Pope are you gunna go all Capt. Caveman on me now?

Beat his ass with his own quckdraws

Slideshows are awesome. I wish more pro climbers would give them, as long as their name isn't Bobbi Bensman.

It funny in the article it says the Sherriff's Office would like to "speak with the snowboarders". I'm sure they would.

My girlfriend and I were hanging out with my dad in Jackson Hole. A non-climbing friend of his from out east was visiting and my dad wanted to take him climbing. My dad gave him his old Willans harness and we set off for the crag. We stopped in town for some lunch and this dude and my dad bust out of their car (we were in seperate cars). My dad's wearing a full body stretch fleece jumpsuit and his friend's wearing the Willans harness. We walk through town (with my girlfriend and I following them from a block behind)laughing our asses off and watching everyone else in town staring and laughing. Funny thing is my dad's friend didn't even end up climbing. He got to the crag and felt too sick to climb from the altitude and the short hike.

Yeah the pros were racing with skate skiing poles. But tele slaloming isn't faggy, even less so than fixed heal slalom as far as I'm concerned. Its an extra challenge to make tele turns around gates than with your heal down. If people just alpined it than what's the point? It is a little contrived, but its a necessary evil I think.

Why change dudes name? If he did something noteworthy he should be recognized for it. And why did she refuse the ambulance? Skeptical of Canadian doctors or they wouldn't take her insurance or what?

quote: Originally posted by gregm: then again, ohno definately played up the foul with his body language, giving me the impression it might have been his strategy to draw the foul. Obviously, but like in basketball thats just part of the game. Espescially in a sport like short-track where everyone's crammed togethor. Tele skiing in the olympics: I've done some tele racing before and slalom's cool but there's a race known by some fucked up norwegian name that Ican't remember but you do some gates, go off a jump, do a 360 turn, skate uphill, more gates, go downhill, then finish on a long uphill skate. It was on the pro tele race circuit (I was competing in the amateur chump division obviously) but the pros are bad ass and wicked good. Most of them are Euros.

Thank you for the advice about sex, drugs, and alcohol.
