iain

not a malfunction either but why do old guys insist on parading around locker rooms w/o any clothes on. it's like a herd of elephants

footloose, dirty dancing, where some guy somehow stirs up trouble in a community with dancing. At least one scene must be set to music where there is "training" or "practice" (similar to the A-team formula where they are building some contraption to break out of a prison, again, set to music with tight shots of b.a. welding something). Also see "Better off Dead" for another "training" scene. Of course at the end the entire town throws a big party and everyone goes apeshit for some reason. At least one part of this scene must include some granny dancing.

I seem to find myself in that situation on hood all the time

was there a bag of lambourghinis in your stocking too?

The fact that any climb is "cc.com flav-o-the-month" alone is scary enough. Triple Couloirs at the tail end of primetime last spring was a stimulating day in the hills.

plenty of old-school dual freq ortovoxs out there on ski patrol, most with the earpiece totally trashed

I do my share of swearing but there's no reason for it all the time, esp when it's not that funny. Swearing for swearing's sake is fucking stupid.

It would be difficult to convince me a beacon is not a good idea, since it sends you directly to where the person is, every time. Whatever statistics there are out there, all the spot probing in likely terrain or around "clues" I've done in scenarios seems rather desperate and incredibly unreliable. Again that's just a scenario but it sure would be miserable in "real life".

uh, just HOW many of you were up there? starting to sound like a siege

the funniest one is of the runner coming straight out a pile of rime. sucker's truckstop for sure haha

timmay I've always admired the way you think outside the box. so enterprising.

they make cool sounds and blinking lights too

see, there's a positive side to everything

Hood conds are not as good as they could be right now

trask should be unbanned, I didn't think he was that bad at all.

Beacons have a track record of saving lives. Use them.

Marble Mountain Snopark is at 2700ft (800m).

retreat? too much ice falling? pussies!

The winter trade route starts at marble mountain snopark in a haze of two-stroke engine fumes and a maze of polaris trailers. Follow the swift creek trail and signs to the worm flows climbing trail. Once at treeline, follow the path of least resistance. Use caution coming down if visiblity is deteriorating. The route is very low-angle, but like the south side of Hood or similar, some decent navigation skills may come into play in low visibility. Gullies all look the same up there. Otherwise, it's a cakewalk for someone with some cascades experience.

You can make Helens as mellow as you like. There is certainly some avalanche terrain if you seek it out, but most of the area is pretty chill. There are a couple really short but steep shots to hit down lower if conditions warrant. The start at the top can't be more than low 30's, if even that. It's pretty mellow. There have been some decent slides in the past though. There are plenty of small, but pretty avoidable terrain traps.

you bastard

you were at least persistant, if not a little slow on the draw

as for the android leashes, I have one and like it.

yes it does count, but that's a character, not an actor. and there is the choice of the much hotter (at least in the 70's) mary tamm.

I don't remember any androids in harry potter, though that would be hard because I have not seen any of the movies or read any of the books... fern's pretty much got it and I will pretend she does not know the EXACT ANSWER for the sake of not revealing pure unadulterated
