no, there is nothing yet, not more than a couple inches up the middle fork teanaway where we are working. i havent been up the north fork and maybe it higher, i dont know. they were saying we would get snow this weekend but so far its just been freezing fog that doesnt do much more that make the ground white.

do you guys know if it is legal to access the north cascades highway from mazama in the winter on a sled?

If anybody wants to hook up to do some backcountry skiing this winter, even places that are way back there (I just got a snowmobile) or climbing, give me a call or email. Preferably looking for experienced skiers or boarders with gear to skin up once we get in there. my sled should be able to carry two and pull a third person, and we may be getting another sled. I would also be totally psyched to climb some ice or alpine routes. Ive got a fair amount of alpine experience and all the gear. If interested give me a call at 509 304 7014 or email at scott1208@yahoo.com. I live in Cle Elum and just moved back up here so dont have any partners yet, but am really hoping to ski a ton this winter if we get some good snow. Thanks, Scott

If you want to buy a bit, you can come over and use my dewalt hammer drill. I have drilled holes in concrete with it but dont have any bits right now. I live in seattle. Scott

How about putting an avalanche tranceiver in the cache if its only going to be a couple days between when its dropped and when you are picking it up? It snows alot up there in the spring. Also, White Saddle has an airplane which would be way less $$$ than his helicopter. Their # is 250-476-1182. "This place is so sick it needs to go to the doctor." quote from the Plummer hut logbook.

I have a 95 with that engine, mines a 4x4 tacoma w/ extra cab. ive got about 160 k on it and bought it 4 years ago with 64k on it for 13500. its a great truck, 95 is the year they redid the engines and came out with all the other models of trucks i believe. no problems with my leaf springs and have had it pretty loaded a couple times. no trouble so far w/ timing chain. my starter and air conditioning condenser went out, i think thats the only problems. i think i could get 250k out of it based on how well it still runs, uses no oil, same mileage as 100k ago. -scott

if anybody has any to sell, i want to buy one full set plus extras of the green/yellow, and yellow/red. I am willing to pay full price if they are in good shape, im not trying to get an good deal, i just need them and nobody has any in stock. please email me or post here if you can help out, scott scott1208@yahoo.com

would anybody be interested in going to chamonix to do some mixed alpine routes, maybe from the middle of january till mid february or so?

oh, it was a really fun climb. the first pitch was kinda tricky mixed climbing, then fun snow climbing to the top after that. I'd recommend it over the north face route because of that first pitch. scott

on sunday, the front half of my black diamond sabertooth crampon fell off while on the first pitch of the n. face couloir on buckner, on the left side of the couloir in the moat, about 50 feet from the base. if anybody happens to find that, i'd be really appreciative and give you a 6 pack of your choice. email: scott1208@yahoo.com or call 425 241 4935 thanks, scott
