the europeans are always so far ahead of americans...

Snow total's not looking so hot. But on the rise at the very latest...

bwahahaha!

I could, but I need a telemetry station that is working to do so. Looks like the station at Paradise/Mt Rainier is down at the moment. I'm setting up some updating graphs on the current one just for kicks, kindof fun to watch the temps drop for once!

NOW WE'VE GOT THE TEMPS WHERE IS THE MOISTURE

delightful little conversation

I think football would be more fun if the offense had to play defense as well and people drew random position assignments. that would be entertainment.

probably someone from PMR, we were supposed to do a winter bivy/mission exercise this weekend. turned into swiftwater rescue.

good luck, nice to see someone actually doing something about the situation rather than bitching about it here all the time.

ahh this thread takes me back to my junior high days in detention

Set up a rope and climb up it and see if you find this to be true. My guess is you won't tell the difference, but I could be wrong. I'm not losing sleep over it.

I was supposed to be up at Hood for some training stuff but mysteriously I wound up at home.

I know what you are talking about. Prusiks grip by bending the line. Doesn't make a scrap of difference in the real world, in my opinion. There's too much "lore" going around w/o enough testing to back it up.

so...were you on Lewis Peak this weekend or what? Even worked it into the stupor bowl thread

snowboarders are about as lame as Feyenoord Rotterdam fans

trask

go to canadian tire and pick up a shovel there. save yourself $40.

I'm warming up my ticket zipper (or whatever that thing's called).

Maybe that's what those Black Diamond strap thingies are for in that other thread.

or keep their skis on their feet where they belong

Atomic R:ex. I have a pair waiting for the binders to come (freerides, actually). Heard good things about the r:ex (older, 10ex), but damn expensive if you can't get a pro deal. We'll see if I get them mounted before all the snow melts

I also have several friends from back in the day who are pretty damn proficient with firearms and are as "liberal" as you seem to label me at times. This is a stupid comparison.

I was also referring to the standard question that must be asked before and after every sandy headwall venture, what elevation did you cross Dwight Yoakum ridge? nice climb tex! killer ski down isn't it...oh wait...hope you got a nice hike in around the the scenic palmer on the way down.

classic.
