They been practising all day in the rail yard just down the street from my house Caught King of Pain on the way home from work

A long time ago when I was just starting out, I took a good fall on that crack and crushed my ankle hitting the deck. Wanting to be Mr. Trad Hardman in sportoland, I didn't put much gear in and then slipped on the aformentioned dirt. It's a funky deal amid the TRs.

FYI. RR Pass usually open by Vic Day Long w/e. Not this year. From bivouac.com:

In theory or what? Last time I tried that it was a serious no-go.

Too busy buying coffee:

Or, he will lose the ability to tell that there is no surprise and will be compounded with dust whereto he is kin and by way of a worm and a fish go progress through the guts of an atheist.

Coast Range [sic, Dru, sic!] Heli's tenure runs right over Cayoosh: http://www.coastrangeheliskiing.com/051212_TenureMap.pdf So supposedly they only ski the west and southwest slopes from that drop? We were surprised to see SIX snowmobiles try to get into Marriot/Rohr on Saturday, but turned back "because they had a girl" according to one guy. When I politely asked the fellow if the drainage was not widely acknowledged as non-motorized, he said, "It's Crown land, isn't it?"

Yep, FL got jacked up on Friday.

Trip: Cayoosh - East Bowls Date: 5/12/2007 Trip Report: After trying in vain to get someone to go ape on some remote couloirs, finally decided to hit up Cayoosh, which I had never before skied. The NE glacier is the Stanley Cup of ski runs, but since the newly high freezing levels were giving cornices and pocket slopes some really bad isothermic diarrhea, we decided to explore the more wide open east bowls, which were also found to kick some good ass. Also, it was very hot. Summer is all upons I'd wanted to ski the chute directly off the summit, but it seemed to be the only thing that hadn't yet barfed itself. Joooofre. We had thought of trying to ski Stonecrop face, but the whole thing looked to be vomiting down the lower funnel. Jibbing madness from below: 5 hrs return: Cayoosh rocks the national

A lot of those climbs rank pretty high on the contrivometer.

"Time is going by REALLY REALLY REALLY slowly!"

Thats some nice ice below the ribber!

this is advance planning for a warmer climate in which there are fewer days when it's possible to ski to the base of each mountain Yeah but during the year when you can ski out how many people do you think acutally ski both mtns? Sorry, it's a tourist draw plain and simple! It was put forth by a German company, NOT Intrawest/Whistler-Blackcomb/Fortress.

And then brag about how you don't believe in medical insurance . . .

Surely the rent would be reasonable here:

Mike I would like to point out that if you hadn't sent the General out to pasture you wouldn't be having this problem.

Wicked stuff. Makes my brain hurt just thinking about how dumb some people are:

"Back hand of God" Ale at the Raven apres skiing

Relatively cold temps recently have kept spring climax slides quite calm. Crews are apparently waiting until they slide before they do the big parts near the Pass. In normal years they aim for May long w/e (19/20th) for the open, but this year maybe not by then.

You'll be walkin from about midstation unless you have crappy skis

4:00????? WTF? If you want to hang around until a proper drinking time, say 8:00 . . . . can't make it there by then.

The spirit of the General was with you with each step.

If you purchase said jacket you will only be allowed to drink lattes. They're pretty up-front about the requirement and there are even warnings on the labels.

Holy shit, you party with Adam Clayton from U2? Tell him he screwed up when he split from Naomi Campbell OMG!! LOL!!!

I tried to make some screen captures from that towering cinematic achievement of a climbing film, RISE, but the stupid director used some pirate DVD software that self-destructs every five seconds . . . there are some wicked scenes in that movie of the General being a man and pulling some dweeb out of the Ghost river crossing . . .
