Weather and climate are two different things. If you eat a whole head of cabbage, you might reasonably expect a colon blowout the next day, but try predicting it to the nearest second a day in advance.

Split water with excess power, store hydrogen. Burn hydrogen for power demand, make water

Just enough snow that everybody buys new boots and ski passes, then warm rain for the rest of the year. Duh.

oh for the days when a thread like this would be quickly filled with Mountie pics with shorts&gaiters and safari hats and mustaches.

There are plenty of places to camp for free. The Cinnamon Creek forest rec site by Loose Lady and Marble Canyon Prov Park both offer free camping in winter. Near town, try pulling off onto the gravel road near the Seton Lake BC Hydro campsite (which is closed in winter but there's never really a problem if you park outside the gate). In the Bridge you can camp at the rec site below Terzaghi Dam, right by Night N Gale. From past experience, the problem is not so much free camping but not being able to dry your gear. Wet ropes, gloves and boots will freeze overnight while car-camping. On a 3 or 4 day trip this can reduce fun significantly. Sure, you can bring it all in the pub with you and spend a few hours drinking while your gear dries out but that gets expensive too. Getting 4 or 6 people together in a kitchenette motel room seems like the cheapest option overall.

Real Dirtbag Climbers live on some cardboard behind a dumpster under a bridge or in the back of their 10 yr old Subaru wagon. Spend that rent or mortgage money on climbing trips. Worked for Fred.

With atmospheric CO2 above 400 ppm, that normal is gonna be "new normal" not "old normal".

What do you think the secret ingredient is in these?

We're not talking about the guys who built the railroads here, Walter!

u talking about Marc's SE butt descent? I don't think downsoloing a 20 pitch 5.7 is a faster descent option for most people. if you have to rap the gully off the summit you'll find chossover faster.

Priti slipped one of the Beckey-Chouinard in there that stands out like sore thumb compared to the Slesse Darrington phyllite choss.

It's snowing in the Bugs today....

Also, foot powder does nothing. sweat plus powder = slime, not dry feet.

Try a boot without a Goretex liner? That's like wearing a VBL all day. Guaranteed prune below the ankle.
