speak for yourself punk

With today's modern tele gear you can crank as hard as you would on AT gear. That is because they are essentially the same gear. You can crank some mean parallel turns in T-1's and active bindings. And there isn't anything wrong with that. Just ski with what you want, but don't play the old "rando can't tele" card. It's so tired.

mine appears to be a fraternity photo album of some kind.

Good one! Witty and original. By the way, it's Randonee. P.S. It often doesn't take long at all for a solid AT'r to pick up telemark. It can be an adjustment to get used to the heavier gear and resistance at the hinge when breaking deep trail though.

Timberline's upper lift is effectively closed all winter. A lift tower was blown over at one point, and they quit trying to open it in winter, it's not cost-effective at all. Even the Magic Mile is on standby or outright closed much of the winter.

Well? WELL??? Where is the requisite Atlas Vinylove lovefest post?

whaddayamean? I for one would love to see some aid climbing videos. nothing like watching aid climbing! all the hauling, things flapping around, ropes every which way, very exciting.

why has no one registered as Dru yet and started doing some unprecedented trolling??? or has someone tried already and been rejected

Taxdor, 5.9 X-citing though made slightly less X-citing via TR

Some of the finest Smith classics were sampled this weekend...

I can think of no stretch in Oregon from Smith where 90+ is reasonable. I also think hwy 26 from Terrebonne to Govy is one of the most dangerous stretches of hwy on Sunday. Everyone wants to get home, there is truck traffic on hills and passing spots are few, so everyone is taking risks. There are more than a few accidents in that area, including a recent gas tanker vs. car head-on that set the whole road on fire for a few hours with accompanying fireball. I do a lot of speeding in the 75mph range, but I also know what my vehicle is capable of.

DFA is everywhere and nowhere. But if it is weekday evening he is at the PRG

If it was 98 mph you should be prepared by bringing your checkbook.

They probably are. It is very likely the mission would be refused.

I saw "da crew" on Koala so I can attest that they were actually climbing rock. Good to see you guys.

oh and

yeah I think you can find him in white salmon now... oh and yakima..and missoula... and on grandma milly's mantel in a glass sculpture!

face it, Portland's the place to be. We even have a zoo, and the starbucks/meter^2 index is a close second to Seattle.

Probably he was just distracted by the heavy breathing in his earpiece from Darth Cheney.

Whatever you get, be sure you are willing to trash it, because you will.

I wouldn't be surprised by this, but if he is accused of this and it is not true, it makes the opposition look a little desperate, in my opinion. There needs to be some fairly solid proof. How can he have an earpiece w/o someone noticing? Perhaps this is why they were so specific about camera angles.

There was a lot of blank, deer-in-headlights staring and silence, for sure.
