Oh, great, Attitude is posting today. I will be hiding under the bed until he is done getting me in trouble.

Thanks for all of the thoughful responses. Veg, where's that troll picture when I need it?

Dude, you are so not funny right now.

Snogging, snogging some more, and maybe snogging.

Hey, thanks are in order for all of the unpaid time matt and the whole motley rest'a yas put in making cc a fun sandbox for all of the kids to play! Here's to ya! (oh, and uh, Matt, do you think you could be a little more on the ball this time in getting that check to me in a timely manner?)

Wow, while we were out drinking, you peeps were busy! Dru, it's good it was a hypothetical Pub Club liason, because I was laughing so hard red wine was coming out of my nose. In this fictitious world of cc.com road trip romances, I think Steph Davis should play the girl and Dean Potter should play the boy. Then we all get to get a little Dean Potter after a long day of soloing .11 splitter crack in Moab. I hate to tell tales out of school, so I won't, but there were some people there tonight who maybe used to think differently about some other people, and I think some of the people there might have had a good time. Most importantly, it was a good fun one. I am just so impressed with the Virtual Pub Club, I bet the numbers were comparable to a real one.

and what is the name of that cheap kind of bunkhouse hostel place north of the Village? Thinking of running up there next week for a few turns if I can find lodging without compromising myself. Alternately, anyone have a condo or anything they would like to lend me for a night or two? Be happy to leave you a couple of drawings or something nice as a payment. This has worked well lately...I have a laptop and some new dental work I got this way.

Seems a little mean-spirited to be making fun of kids!

Hi, thinking of putting this on my list for '03. Anyone done it as a summer trip? Wondering how skilled one needs to be with an ice axe and how much roped climbing it involves. Thanks for any information you can pass on.

i don't see why that should count against me, i mean allison and the ballard contingent are always swaying the ballot in favor of frelard. Forrest, you hit it right on the head. The Ballard contingent is always pushing for Ballard, because such a high % of the PC regulars live here. Plus were are permanently pissed off that it is so hard to get to the freeway from here.

And the Yakisoba at Pine Marten, but ya know, Bachelor blows goats, so you all best stay away.

The Spar is so not in Ruston.

Don't have the skills yet.

It is 38 and raining at the base of Alpental as of two minutes ago.

I predict that old age and wily persistence will prevail over youth and vigor.

Chatroom is currently inhabited if anyone wants to visit.

FUN HUMBLING FUN HUMBLING FUN HUMBLING FUN HUMBLING Hee hee, not as much as an ego-fest as last weekend, but way fun. My eleven year old friend had a great time too, her first big pow day ever. You might have seen us at Crystal yesteday, we were the two babes that kept yelling FRESHIEZZZZZZ!!!!

Greetings Freshenhunds! Assuming conditions stay good, I am planning on skiing Alpental Tuesday and Wednesday, and staying overnight at the Pass. I don't have any pardners to ski with yet, and would love to have some company. I only have alpine gear, and don't have BC snow safety skills yet (though I am working on it! stay tuned!) but am a pretty solid skier. Anyone interested in hooking up, shoot me a PM by Monday night and I'll give you more details. If the Pass is sucky but Crystal is good, I might go one of those two days, but I don't have a seasons pass or lodging deal there, so am shooting for Alpental.

Gurls rule. Wanna come skiing, zero?

This is a great idea. I get so tired of hearing people bitch about fees and permits. There are things that should be better about both, but the whine gets really, really old. Flame suit on.

Sorry, Tom, and sorry to Tim and Becky too...I was tired and didn't feel like facing the world last night. Catch you all next time I am sure!

Look in the main lodge on Saturday. I'm bringing my 11yo friend along, and we will be looking for the E-Dog apres ski in the main lodge. I have an obnoxious orange neck gaiter that tends to stand out in the crowd.

MM- Be sure to tell all of your friends how crappy the skiing was up here, We wouldn't want them driving all of that way just to ski in our crappy snow.

Depends on what you want. I agree with the boys, for sure, about the diversity of the terrain at Crystal. I've skiied a lot at Bachy too though, and the snow is consistently way better down there. MUCH drier. All other things being equal though, and assuming it is cold enough here, Crystal rules. Unless of course you are a raging intermediate skier, and then Bachelor rules! PS. There is not a lot of lodging at Crystal, though the place to stay would be the Alpine Inn, both for cost and charm. If you can't get a room at Crystal, the (semi-former) logging town of Enumclaw is about an hour away, and is the next-closest place. You will probably be able to find somewhere cheap to stay there.
