For XS you should check out any of the Pattawhooci outlet stores, especially during the secret 40% times Tonnes of XS and XL stuff cheap.

Big G gave it out yesterday. 5 hrs from Elfin Lakes hut, got lost on the summit plateau ("whose fucking tracks are those? How did those bastards pass us?") Ski descent from summit is about 20'000' feet continuous down to Ring Creek, but I could be exaggerating since I don't have a map on me. Scariest moment was when the Donkey's adze pierced the bzzreverage cans in the bag he had hanging off his pack on the ski in Summit tower had some water ice, fun with aluminum picked display model ice axe, in ski boots with no pointy foot thingies Goodrawking tonight

Avalungs do nothing for trauma associated with large depositions, debris in slide, large slide distances, etc. I think the next few years will see an increasing amount of balloon technology on the market and while this won't be very attractive at first for the average backcountry weight freak already carrying a pack, it will likely be obligatory for heli operators.

There are only two huts along the Duffy - the one in Cerise that you have been too, and the one in Marriott Basin, which is across the Cayoosh valley (the main valley) and a little west. It is maintained by the Whistler ACC. They have a website which has directions to that hut. It will be almost as overcroweded as the Haberl hut was. There is also an "illegal" hut at the base of Snowspider Mt. which is over the Vantage col from Cerise - I think Bivouac has a TR or two on that. Altho not on the Duffey Lake Rd. , there is a hut in Phelix Creek, in the Birkenhead area north of Pemberton which is great, but the access is a little longer. Try the UBC Varsity Outdoors Club website. There is loads of touring in the other side valleys along this road without huts - just bring a tent and enjoy the solitude. Also a cabin on/near Cayoosh, various cabins in Halymore accessed from Anderson side, another illegal one in a fork of Van Horlick, mining shacks here and there, and also plans for a JMillar commemerative hut in Steep Creek and a new BCMC cabin north of Lizzie. Places that need huts and reward tent-based exploration: North Joffre Creek Spetch Creek Duke/Caspar Channel, Blowdown, Gott Creeks

Current conditions are good for insomniac alcoholics. Climb during night, drink during day -

bigger bird=more Money Nope. I asked Mike about this. The Longranger is more efficient than the old one. Maybe a bigger engine, but costs are running the same (outside of fuel cost increases). Win win for climbers

Pretty much all sushi places downtown will have you parking in places where you wouldn't want to leave a penny in the ashtray. The best option if you are Squmaish bound is to sample one of the many sushi restaurants on Lonsdale Ave in North Van, aka Sushi Row. There are - at last count - 11 in 23 blocks The best are: Gen, Kansai, Sen, Alicia, and Kampopo. There is also a good one on east 3rd St one block east of Lonsdale with good all you can eat deals. You'll be able to park on the street right out front of any of these places and the break in potential is much less than downtown.
