DARN!!!! YOU ABSOLUTELY ROCK!!!

HAHAHAHA

Oh MY!...be sure to wipe your eyes off...

Heh. My mother was out shopping with my sister (age 4). My sister didn't want to leave the store so she grabbed onto the rack and started yelling at the top of her lungs "YOU ARE NOT MY MOMMY! I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO GO WITH YOU! YOU ARE NOT MY MOMMY!" My mother has said she was never so embarassed before or sense. Oh that is BRILLIANT!! BAWAHAHAHAHA...so, is she running a company by now??? HAHAHAHA

I'm kinda tempted towards the cells because they could be used other places...however, in the woods, maybe radios are better??? Steven's has cell service...We are on season's passes so that is our "local" hill...

it was an absolute eternity... On another note, its too bad pink's parents didn't roll his egg off a cliff before it was hatched...

actually, its worse...there, you actually have the end result in your hands, one way or the other... i felt like a complete passenger on a train wreck...

damn sherri...that is some stunning work...all of it!! wow...

yeah...i think he's no worse for the wear...the weird thing, is that if it was the older kid (he's 8), i would have absolutely the opposite reaction... He'd likely be sniffing out some stash of untracked powder and ripping it up as opposed to lost... oh...kevbone...STFU...

yeah, well...i witnessed his dumbass soloing at the new river and "in control" is not a word i would use to describe him soloing... i've seen footage of his cave route jug hauling and those routes seemed "wired"...that's fine, but that's not something i would say he routinely employed... he was just a "matter of time"...IMO

Plan has now been discussed as well as time. In the process of getting cell phones and radios... suggestions??

i personally have been in many sketchy situations and have never ever felt this way...this was literally scared to death for me...i didn't feel "right" for several hours later and had a hard time sleeping (not nightmares, just kept milling the day through my head)...had to get up at 2 in the morning and drink several beers and get loopy to finally put it down... Just makes you realize how much "luck" is involved in getting them raised...

you know, most of the time i think my kids are pretty tough and selfreliant...it just takes something like this and you really understand that despite how capable they are, they are still very very helpless in a lot of ways... you must have been sick with fear and dread...

he was a little freaked out UNTIL he saw me and how distraught i was then he got really really upset. Alls well that ends well and stuff got smoothed over with icecream and hot chocolate... the little turkey zipped ahead from the dad that was watching him and his own kids (i had my other boy and his buddy on a different part)and thought they were ahead of him and blazed off down the hill. He thought they'd moved to another chair and so he went, loaded himself and went to another completely different section of the mountain from where he separated from his group. 5 year old logic!!!!! He was waiting at the top for us, and started crying. Some lady asked him what was up and skiied him down to the base and we got back together...

hey... if you are down at smith, there's a pretty dedicated group of teens climbing there...

+2 I have tried getting a whole forum for kids already. It would need to be heavily moderated to keep idiot posts out. Thoughts are that it could include GEAR KID TR'S KID EXERCISES KID TIPS KID USED STUFF FOR SALE KID EQUIPMENT RECOMMENDATIONS etc.

It is the first and hopefully the last time something like this happens.

I lost my 5 yo at Stevens Pass yesterday for 2 hours. I have never been that terrified in my life before... wound up puking over fear... On that note, anyone know where i can find an implantable GPS beacon?

dano was anything but a genius...

:tup: the cat was an absolutely stunning animal...

Seachicken, you want that booze and pass yet?

just cuz you identify with the dumbasses doesn't mean everyone else does...

would you like a free video camera??

"Mommy!!! LOOK, A REAL LIFE DUMBASS!!"

sweet jesus I want to feed you to the lions something a little bit smaller than lions so it takes a bit longer please... "hmmm...tastes like sea chicken!"
