We came to realize that kayaks are aid. Real climbers swim. With packs on.

was that your rig with the sea kayak?
You saw wrong. That was a helicopter.

Who cares about Chavez, what about Dion?

Entropy and other routes in that area were formed and (at least from 80km/hr out the car window) appeared in.
Be careful! Jackass was "in" too this weekend if you drove by fast enough

2000m freezing level on Thursday. Bring a mask and flippers.

arg sorry. I meant POSTS. Looking at old ice posts and all the attchs aren't working?
-
That would be way better on a monoski or maybe a pogostick.
-
The whole thing is nobel worthy, but attachments in old emails seem to be lost in the internutwebspace or just aren't synching?

Some short list. Got a sled for Sumallo? (I might
) What about the Black Tusk? You don't need a sled for Sumallo, just some skis. Come on its not that far!
You WOULD want one for the Tusk though. Though I don't know why you would want to go after it in the winter

Hey look that shitpile on the edge of town is in!!!

Lemme break this down for your ass. You take the lift up and then ski back where there is a noticeable absence of punters and a noticeable abundance of Grade A Extra Large 60cm ski pen freshiez
In summary: you

You are gonna be trailbreaking up to your neck
Meanwhile Hope's gonna get a dose of the freezies.
Amazing new development of the CHAIRLIFT
Hope's not gonna be in and you're gonna do the same report you did last year. here, to save you time, you can just copy this:
Chilliwack to Hope - running water with a bit of verglas higher up near Hope. Medusa looks about 1" thick
Sumallo Bluffs - mostly snow and hanging icicles. Buszowski/Kippan MIGHT be leadable by this weekend as it had continuous albeit quite thin looking ice.
Nepopekum - snowing too hard to see it but based on nearby creeks its probably still got open water
Go with the Flow - could be in, -10C at night, -6 c in the daytime.
Manning Mixed - buried under 6' new freshiez.

We will be getting another 4 days this weekend.

Ba, don't get your hopes up, forecasts the last few weeks have been on par with a gypsy crystal ball at the circus

Just to mess with certain people . . .

Which makes me reflect on winter soft shell pants. Powershield is such an excellent fabric, but it seems to be going out of vogue for some reason
MEC seems to be the only company making Powershield bibs, though the Cosmo bibs lack both pockets and zip sides.My MEC Pamir bibs, now two seasons gone, are the gold standard. Going on 4 heavy seasons, both ski and ice, on my current pair. The fit was potato sack-like, but the features were perfect. BRING EM BACK MEC

I have Cloudveil Summetry pants. I think they are havier than Arcteryx Gamma AR but cheaper.
Cloudveil still can't beat Arcteryx products in weight but quality is very very good.
http://www.cloudveil.com/mens/v-pants/CV03002/
MEC Tactics are great but I think they are warmer than you looking for. Price is perfect!
Arcteryx is the best option if you have money. They will last very long.
Those Cloudveil pants are quite nice, excellent fit as on all Cv items.
The Dead Bird pants take the cake hands down, though. That Tweave fabric is the best I have seen. I know lots of people who live by Schoeller incarnations, but under hard use they don't last near as long as the bird. If you were paying attention, the factory sale the other week had Gamma pants at $90

All the good ice over there is very incoveniently located for suitable put ins. Ie in rocky/canyon parts of the river.
