Slavishly pc or not, imho it is impressive what a speedy reply and retraction the teletubbies.com email campaign garnered. Check these top sheets: Time to bust out the tied died softshell and hippie lettuce!

It means backuping up a rather large database over the internet to my computer or to our account on another server. Sounds like a fair amount of work. How big is the database?

What does it take to back up databases locally?

Climb: høød-southwest side ski tour Date of Climb: 3/28/2004 Trip Report: The skies were clear, the snow soft and the wind nowhere to be found. We were stoked. [insert bromide here] C'mon hurry up you guys! Some of us managed to get work done. We saw a ski track heading over the saddle which must have been Doug's. Way to go d00d! fshrgrl gets her tele on! Several lower leg lacerations and one round of stitches later Jane has learned to keep her distance when it comes to running around with smelly people with sharp edges on their feet. The skiing all the way to the trees was better than we imagined. Damn near perfect this side of a bunch of new. A steady wind picked up around where this picture was shot and preserved the snow until the trees. Despite our navigational tools and alleged skills we still managed to spend a little longer than we would have liked finding the trail out. We stayed on the ridge west of Zig Zag Canyon but descended a finger too soon, at about 4,800 ft., and had to contour and climb a bit to locate the trail. Humble pie can be such a beyotch! What a day to be in the hills with those close and dear! Gear Notes: dog treats • map & compass and/or gps & waypoints Approach Notes: car to car

A loose fit sounds like a recipie for blisters and/or having to wear thicker and thicker socks as your liners get packed out. Imo boots should fit snug with thin socks. You can loosen the fit by either unbuckling or loosely buckling your boots for skinning. Walk mode makes them more comfy also.

There was freshness to be had Friday night at Da Bowl; we just had to ski in the dark and past the closed signs.

The following 'Fair Game' column by Pete Thomas was cut and pasted from the L.A. Times web site: Keizo Miura was living a dream as he glided down the snowy slope. The clouds had lifted and the powder was deep and light. With him were loved ones and close friends. Had he not known better, he might have been in heaven. But this was earthly reality and it brought a smile to his weathered face. Miura, who may have skied more than anyone on Earth, had not only lived to be 100, he was celebrating that milestone by making tracks down one of his favorite mountains, negotiating the fall line with the prowess of a youthful veteran. His great-granddaughter calls him "ultra-grandpa." He felt powerful, alive. Angling his skis to form a wedge, he slowed his descent so the younger skiers, his great-granddaughter in particular, could keep up. When they reached the bottom, they raised their ski poles and reveled in the moment. Miura was supported by four generations of family and nearly 150 friends, many of whom had accompanied him in late February from Japan to Snowbird Ski Resort in Utah. The site was selected for the reunion because it is Miura's favorite place to ski. On this particular day, he said it was the best powder he had ever experienced. "The magic of skiing is that the snow is different each time I go," he said. But his actions said more: Age is not the barrier some believe it to be. This kind of exercise, in settings so pristine, is beneficial to both body and soul. "Skiing isn't really the reason for my long life," Miura said, speaking through a translator. "The reason for my long life is my passion for skiing." A crowd applauded the venerable skier when he reached the bottom of the run, spanning 3,000 vertical feet. Among those in attendance was former President Jimmy Carter, who called the family "a true inspiration to not only the people of the United States, but to the entire world." Miura was born in Aomori, Japan, on Feb. 15, 1904. After graduating from what is now the University of Hokkaido, he joined the forestry bureau and became manager of its ski club. His first skis were wooden planks and he wore army boots smeared with petroleum jelly as waterproofing. At 51, he retired and spent even more time skiing. Though he keeps no records, he says he has averaged 110 days annually on the slopes since he took up the sport 79 years ago — that's 8,690 days, or nearly 24 years of total time on the slopes. With him for the commemorative run on Feb. 28 was his 71-year-old son, Yuichiro, who starred in the 1975 documentary, "The Man Who Skied Down Everest." Yuichiro last year became the oldest person to summit the world's tallest mountain. His sons Yuta and Gota joined in the conquest. Gota competed as a freestyle moguls specialist in the 1994 and '98 Olympic Games. The whole family was on hand to honor their hero, their patriarch, and to reinforce that one man amounts to very little without family and friends. "I believe that my 100-year-old father is able to continue skiing because of the grand support he gets from friends gathering for him like this," Yuichiro said after the descent through eight inches of new snow. Miura is a close friend of Dick Bass, the resort's owner and the first person credited with climbing the highest peaks on all seven continents. In 1983, Miura and Bass climbed Antarctica's Vinson Massif. Miura's climbing days are over, but he vows to keep skiing until his legs or his heart give out. His granddaughter Emili said that while his eyesight and hearing are failing, he is otherwise in good health. His diet includes lots of fish and chicken prepared in a pressure cooker to soften the bones, which he eats for the calcium they provide. On Feb. 15, the day he turned 100, he said, simply, that he felt "just another day older" and spent the morning skiing at Teine Highland Resort in Sapporo. When it was time for the celebratory run at Snowbird he was admittedly nervous, not so much because of the large gathering, but because he was beginning to feel rusty. "He was relieved after it was over and he didn't fall because he hadn't been skiing in 11 days since he left Japan, so he was not really confident," Emili Miura said. "That's a long time for him." It must have seemed like an eternity.

Thanks for the tr. That tour is dope! Hopefully y'all had some road sodas stashed near your shuttle rig to alleviate the sting of keylessness. This picture was shot thereabouts a few years ago:

Glad you guys had a great ski. Snow 1/4 mile to the gate. Saw y'all at Illumination. Paradise was a bunch of fun. No navigation mishaps though I did put my sneakers on too soon.

Just one pair.

Drank some of this shite back in the day for gits and shiggles and regretted it. Regretted it severely. I guess if you don't have much dough and want to get lit in a hurry is serves a purpose. [insert projectile vomit emoticon here}

Leuthold's can be quite the bowling alley if you find yourself there too late in the day and gets wickedly runneled after a warm spell. Sounds like a great plan if timed right.

interesting link...

tnx d00ds. roger, do you know what your up and down speeds are with qwest? the e-link deal down speed is pretty tasty. i was speaking with a qwest rep the other day who sounded somewhat impressed by the e-link deal and added a '900 lb. gorilla' comment about them.

is the forest service ticketing non-snowmachiners for parking in the upper lot even with a snowpark permit??? is there signage? sure it's only 100 extra yards but it's also a bit of a chafe to start the day. is there now a preferred sno-park permit? i got no prob with satan, uh, i mean snowmachines. sometimes i wish i had one myself for access of the legal sort. coupla weekends ago seems there were plenty of non-biler rigs in the upper parking lot. we were gearing up to the oh so swingin' sounds of wagon christ, , when out of the behemoth of a motor home next door strolled a virginia slims smoking housewife with four snow white avalanche poodles. we all exchanged 'what ups' and 'howya doins' and went about our merry ways. perhaps we all CAN get along. at least in the parking lot anyway...
