run at him with the clippers and shave a streak across his head. see how long he keeps the long hair.

makes for a good game of "mom or sister" though

...but is it ALL YOURS?

he's bad, he's bad

maybe I should just say if you fly on alpine helicopter flights out of golden under the auspices of the acc, it might hurt, how's that

When I flew with Alpine Helicopter out of Golden, they requested a list of credit card numbers from the group before they lifted off, and seemed to want to make it clear that they would be heavily used if they had to come get us. I guess that's not definitive, but I was glad to have amer. alpine club insurance. Maybe it was more of a bluffing statement than anything, but I didn't want to risk it! It may also be that the trip was sponsored through the calgary section of acc (this was to the Clemenceau area) and a friend and I were hitching a ride. Maybe it's different elsewhere? Seemed much more likely to be billed than in the states. Though it's not like there's a lot of remote terrain like that in the lower 48

Helicopter rides are expensive no matter how you cut it. Get rescued in Canada and it will hurt. I don't see why they can't use mast for this stuff though. That's were all the cash is, and they do the job for free. Almost all air support for rescues in Oregon has been handled by the air force in the past, and now the nat'l guard. There is good cooperation between rescue units and these organizations. The result is free rescues.

wish I could get out there today you lucky dog. have a good one

There is no compromise. It's quite simple. If you don't AT ski you are a communist. A sissy, patcholi-smelling, Medeski-Martin-and-Wood-listening, k2/free tibet-bumpersticker-brandishing communist.

I would expect a fair amount of slide/sluff activity this weekend, who knows though. All I know is those routes are more fun when the snow is consolidated and icy. trudging through freshiez - not nearly as fun and potentially boring for you hard core dudes who only want the tough stuff.

you're not thinking outside the box here...

Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.

our one and only Portland native Gus Van Sant! Heard it's good, have not seen it yet. The real problem with hunting elephants is carrying the decoys.

re: mister e's photo - I didn't know trees grew at weird angles like that...TILT!

I just have to ask - why the camo clothing in the winter?
