Is FS 44 open yet? I don't think it was plowed a few weeks ago.

But Jim is right - this is Bush policy since 2002, not other administrations before.

Yo Pete! I can do 5.

It was a pretty big one. Crown was more like 2-3 feet but it ran all the way accross the ridge from Wy'East to NCH. Debris went all the way into Heather Canyon. Big slushy slide it looked like.

I'll be if the weathers nice. How about this afternoon?

Nice !

Agreed. However I've never put too much stock in anything the Oregonian has to say.

Oregonian says hiker.

But then again, you are an assmonkey.

When I drove by last Saturday at 6:30am, Jacks was open.

Worm Flows is a nicer route anyways, adds some elevation but not much distance, and if you are on boards is an easier ride back to the car.

Hood has been getting snow, I'd be careful and judge conditions when you get there. Look out for the slopes below Crater Rock and on the West Crater Rim if you are planning to board down that way. Have fun.

I got shafted this year with Multnomah County's 'new' income tax (for which there was no withholding last year). So despite being owed a refund for federal and state taxes, a good chunk goes right back out for the county. Argh! That's it, from now on fuk the poor, fuk the kids, fuk it all I'm voting R.

Um, I thought you needed them Nov 15th to April 30th? Oregon Trip Check Sno Park Info

If on a glacier I rig up a Texas Prusik, the length of which is strictly dictated by FOTH.

It seems to me in the gym the problem is more loose chalk than it is chalk in chalk balls.

I've got an old pair of 205cm Atomics I can donate to the cause. Plastic tip covers not included. Comes with a honkin' pair of LOOK bindings.

All I know is a full day of lift serve kicks my ass WAY harder than a full day in the BC. But then again I'm kind of a wuss.

Nice, there were a lot of folks up there Saturday. Skipped the permit, but no rangers in site. Good fast climb and ski, made it back to town with plenty of time to bask in the sun and do lawnwork. I don't really give this route much thought any more but I should, its a good time.

What is it about Luna bars that make them "for women"? just marketing hype? I think they add extra estrogen.

um, most likely skiing.
