dfa's favorite pop goes the nubbin would be lost! almost as good as the

saw a show on buds training for navy seals the other day on tv. one look at that would be reason to invade the usa immediately.

you're living in the shadow of South Sister by your coordinates there chief. It's gonna blow and the McKenzie R. valley's gonna flood, and you're gonna be a darwin dude yerself shortly!

...just quoting the name of the image he posted...I was assuming that is what that thing is called.

they should have been climbing last weekend but the north sister, being the fickle tramp she is, probably scared those little pansies straight over to the sunny tuff. hmm... avalanche-raked sufferfest in the couloir or over-bolted sunnyville...tough call

I think he was referring to its bouldering potential, flask.

now who in the blazes would be climbing those? morons.

my crampons were last seen on the living room coffeetable, about 10 feet from a huge pile of gear in various stages of dryness. Dining room table is currently a ski repair shop and kitchen floor is freshly waxed with all-conditions.

I've heard all Duncan home clients get addicted to crack or hang out w/ flakes tex.

you guys laugh at the french but I gotta say the quality of life over there is nice. lots of napping and eating good food and makin love. They know how to live better than americans, at least from what I experienced.

maybe it should be called V8 now

the fact he didn't die instantly by a 5 ton boulder is disturbing. must have been a tough one for the first responders to that scene.

and warm Port! nothing better after a cold ski.

The new stuff at meadows was not enough to cover the tracked out stuff from monday, but it was pretty good for this year. We were able to poach some new stuff a bit into half-moon bowl in heather c. but it was too late in the day for it to be very good. Looks like some more snow on the way but another dry spell on the way too. This weekend should be pretty good but I'm sure it will be packed. Probably the best weekend so far this season is coming up. Thanks for the kind words shredmaximus, hope your knee is okay. That's one of the scariest feelings in skiing, landing when you know something's wrong. $5 says meadows will divert heather creek down low in the coming years to open up the canyon on days like this. Would be just like them.

and in a related piece of bad karma, while skiing at meadows yesterday I stabbed my skipole through my calf muscle after landing wrong on a jump, and somehow pulled the muscle in the process as well. good morning!

Saturday is Sustainable Slopes Outreach Day at Mt Hood Meadows!

It wouldn't shock me to find out BD doesn't make any gear at all and just owns a large warehouse in SLC where they collect all the goodies from the companies they buy.

best bumpersticker I've seen all year: actions speak louder than bumperstickers oh and gregw we should keep gas prices unrealistically low in the name of freedom and patriotism right?

cool! that means I won't miss out on buying the shot glasses made from volcano ash this time around.

it would seem it would be in RMI's best interest to avoid development of outside independent certification of their guides, as with certifications comes increased salary expectations and marketablility with other companies....

oh I'm sorry Mr. Caldecott, what is the correct way?

trust me I was digging deep for that one
