There was a canadian lad named Dru, Who dreamed he had found his love true, But in the morn when he woke, A shock came to the bloke, T'was a perplexed, apprehensive ewe.

bawdy eh? There was a young lady named Gloria Who was had by Sir Gerald Du Maurier, And then by six men, Sir Gerald again, And the band at the Waldorf-Astoria.

There once was a girl from Madras Who had such a beautiful ass - It was not round and pink ( as you bastards think ) But had two ears, a tail, and ate grass.

rinky-dinky?

Awesome stuff, looks beautiful.

this is the funniest thread in awhile, keep 'em coming! the "packs at smith" still life is over the top!

wow that's really bad

yeah there are times where it would be great in the right hands. That helicopter crash from a few years ago comes to mind, where you had a ton of patients that could survive a sled ride. Timberline patrol was able to ski one guy down from crater rock during that one. Now if we just had 5 more of those up there and 10 skiers on scene...

Do MR people ever use ski patrol toboggans to evacuate people? They'd work quite well on the South Side... It depends who is on the team and what the snow is like. If we ski a litter down the south side (of hood, that is) it is usually done with 4 people with tag lines to act as some form of "belay" on a titanium take-apart litter. A hand railed cascade toboggan would be nice, but the steel handle rails and all the extra chain brake stuff just weigh a ton. You also wind up doing a lot of steep traversing at times, and having the 4 people helps then. I have skied an akia into Three Fingered Jack to ski out plane debris and tools though. It would be nice if they made a lightweight version of the handles. There would be hell to pay if you spilled a patient skiing down a toboggan though. I can't even imagine. And it's not like you're evacuating someone from the groom on the Palmer, though sometimes the snow is that good as you well know. Whatever gets them out of there w/o hurting them further.

oh that reminds me I found someones tent on the rupal face. if you can id the eurotrash fluorescent colors it is yours.

it was red, and they are enormous.

where is this pool?

first contact with subject was at 0600 at LC but was not at trailhead until after 1500? did you go via the adams glacier?

being bitched at is par for the course! I guess it doesn't matter what's in the pack, as long as you are carrying one. I got bitched at for heading up Hood by myself a few years back. I wonder if it was one of them who fell and got a fractured tib-fib on Sunday.

can't argue with that. winner.

I'd call homeland security because I see no skis in that Mt. Adams photo. Start packing commie googlebot!

Make sure you declare all Reese's Pieces. It's a pain in the ass but you will be busted for each piece otherwise. The customs folk have a special little stamp if you have a license to carry. Didn't those punks ever see E.T.? A peanut butter cup is attempt to distribute so I would not even try.

It's all the same up there. A sea of canadian bacon, maple syrup, guys on horses, past-due-date british candy, and really shitty impatient drivers wheeling around in cars that have, at a bare minimum, 1cm of road grime on all surfaces.

great, I'll be the one with climbing gear and a chocolate lab. I might be breathing too.

I guarantee Toto is in the rotation

dude on the right is moments away from spilling

How many boxes of thinmints did you come away from the mountain with? Samoas?

That is awesome stuff. Hey we are in the picture of Luna Cirque there across the way. Thanks for making my workday interesting.

Right on, keeping the season alive!
