Huh, it sure looks like that, doesn't it. Jeezus christ that is scary... And who thinks guiding standards are a bad idea??

Extremo, you rock. as FOR SOME STROKE, I'm sure your boyfriend will be more than willing to accomodate you.

I like my shuksans, but I prefer a shorter, fatter ski, so I'd take this years model if I could...

I was amused that when I went to the CA rockies earlier last december lots of locals said "oh, not much is in yet". I guess they have a different perspective because there was sweet ice everywhere!

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Do you recall how long it took you to go the direct way Jim? I've only ever done it on skis.

Yah, I would agree, it really doesn't seem like 10% anywhere on that trail. Isn't the "railroad grade" going up to the easton glacier on baker nearly 6% or 10% (whatever the railroad standard is)?? That feels steeper than the cascade pass sidewalk.

Wow, that guy is such a complete fucking idiot. He doesn't think for a second that it isn't behind ransacked because the airport is a base of U.S. operations and protected by thousands of U.S. troops?

I support the freedom of the individual to choose the media and entertainment that he/she likes, regardless of whether or not I perceive it to be socially unredeeming. (Child pornography, etc excluded!) I believe this freedom is not for citizens of this nation alone. Why are "liberals" here so concerned with the (read) conservative idea of cultural preservation elsewhere? Cultural preservation is only a conservative idea when it is practiced outside of this country. In fact, cultural preservation is a nice conservative way of saying "keep your culture and language in your country and out of ours." Ask any conservative if they believe people should be able to keep their culture and language intact when living in this country, and the tone changes quite a bit.

why does nwog.org now say future home to "northwest mountain guides" Scott, are you actually planning on guiding people?

So, is it true that the current retarted trail was built at that super low grade because they were once considering a road all the way up to cascade pass?

thats what I use and it works for me! 5'11 1/2" 160lbs 12% body fat nearly 6' and only 160lb? damn dood, hit the weight room!

Aren't those the mountain boots w/Dynafit attachments? They looks SWEET. Won't ski very well, though.... Yup, they are the dynafit 4s I think? Basically a scarpa, etc. with dynafit attachments and ski spoilers you can attach. I got them fully expecting them to ski like shit. I basically figured a climbing boot + the ability to ski to approachs would be nice, and remove the need to carry an extra pair of boots. Now, that said, I was actually pleasently suprised at how well they skiied. Sure, they aren't going to be what I would ski powder or anything super steep wiht, but I've skiied the C/D on baker, sitkum on glacier peak and the entire ptarmigan traverse in them. That was all on spring snow for the most part and they rocked on that! As a big bonus, when we hat to climb minus skis, my boots+ski combo weighed about 60% of what my partners did!

The new AT ski boots I bought last year are 4 1/2 lbs with the intuition liners, which is lighter than my leathers. I am looking forward to trying them on ice.

"The wind was strong; I usually don't carry my skis at that angle." BWAHAH! That's a great pic and great caption

I would be all over this. There is nothing scenic about some shitty brush in an avy gully next to a road. I agree that it would be so much nicer to avoid the 37 flat switchbacks from hell and the hundreds of gapers it atracts.

I wonder how much the west side of the olys got??

Wrong. USB2 is plenty quick. unfortunately not many players implement USB transfers very quickly. Unless you can find one very cheap, stay away from iPods unless you like paying a lot for a name. Man, I really want one of the new nomad 60gb players...that is pretty sweet!

Wow, that light tent is cool, but I'm pretty sure the 4 season claim is BS. I can't imagine that thing would stand up to any wind or snow loading.

Fairweather, why don't you save yourself time (and us reading) and just start posting a right wing babble form letter. I know, Josh. That was probably a lot of reading for a guy like you. I'll try to keep your reading assignments to more manageable levels in the future. That is a funny comment considering you didn't form a single sentence correctly.

Fairweather, why don't you save yourself time (and us reading) and just start posting a standard right wing ass-babble form letter.

Yeah, it ain't all that. I climbed it once, almost by accident.

What's your point PP? People thought the war in veitnam was a quagmire too, but look at how that turned out...oh...wait, nevermind.

titties. No, I dunno, most peopel seem comfortable with "boobs". It doesn't soudn as official as breasts yet it isn't really offensive.

The amazing thing is if Bush said the exact same thing right now you dipshits would praise him for having the courage to dig deep and reflect on himself. Get over it. Clinton, no matter what you think about him, was a much better president than either Bush. Get a life and move on.
