"It didn't have anything to do with anything!"

Quasar is perfect hands you whiney bitch.

Learn to ski and you won't have to punch so much clown.

Salomon Skis are crap. Nobody buys those fucking things. Edit: Nobody who knows what good skis feel like buys those fucking things.

Oh Lars, Fuck me hard! There's nothing sexier than a condescending conservative who thinks liberals are all a bunch of morons. In fact that's what makes all you conservatives so goddamn porkable.

Utah only has major problems with depth hoar in really low snow years (like last year). The predicability of the snowpack more closely resembles the NW than Colorado, but the skiing can easily surpass both. Utah Avalanche Report: Avalanche Conditions: Most of the problems from yesterday were in the lower elevations as the benches even received about 8-10” of snow in favored spots. One party touring up by Mt. Olympus found quite sensitive soft slabs and sluffs about a foot deep and 40’ wide running fast and entraining lots of snow. These were on 35 degree north and northwest slopes, where the soft slabs and sluffs ran above the weaker surface snow. Elsewhere, in the foothills above Farmington, wet ‘push-alanches’ were common in the light density snow where the sun had dampened the snow surface. In the mid and upper elevations, sluffing seemed to be the only issue on the northerly and sheltered steeper slopes; however, they were able to entrain quite a bit of snow and pack a punch while mid-track. For today, my concerns will be with continued sluffing on the steeper slopes and the possibility of finding a remnant wind drift from Saturday’s strong southerly pre-frontal winds. Still tickling my spine, however, are the buried weak layers from January, now buried about 1-2’ down and perhaps most problematic on northwest-east facing slopes between 7500’ and 9800’. These, as well as isolated areas where the snowpack is unusually shallow and therefore weak, are still lingering as possible booby traps in certain areas. Frankly, they make me uncomfortable. . Bottom Line for the Wasatch Range, including the Salt Lake, Park City, provo and OGden AREA MOUNTAINS: The avalanche danger is moderate today in wind drifted areas at all elevations steeper than 35 degrees. In sheltered areas, the danger is LOW. Washington: OLYMPICS.... MT HOOD AREA... WASHINGTON CASCADES NEAR AND WEST OF THE CASCADE CREST... Moderate avalanche danger below 7000 feet Monday and Tuesday. The greatest danger is expected on southwest through southeast facing slopes receiving sunshine, mainly during the late morning and afternoon hours as well as some steep open slopes where isolated wind slabs may exist.

Split boards are worth the money. If you want to get serious about hiking I'd really recommend one.

Is that what mounties are concerned with in belay partners?

Carnitas or Chile Relleno Burrito at Albertos on 33rd South in SLC. Can't tell you how many of those I ate.

I wait at least a month before I fart into her mouth while she's giving me a rim-job.

I just skimmed a couple of pages of this thread, to find that they were populated by supposed "drop-out" sprayers. Thank God, or Buddha, or Allah, or whoever the fuck for snow. Spray is sooooooo gay.

It just looks good on the map, and Rainer Burgdorfer describes it as 2000+ ft. of fall-line skiing. It looks JUST like the west face on the map, long, steep, and open. You would have to walk back up the thing after skiing it however, which would make it a big day. Edit: Looking at it again, it's not as steep as the west face.

MattP, have you ever skied the north face of Rock Mountain?

Climb: Nowhere exciting -Descents near Stevens Pass Date of Climb: 2/1/2004 Trip Report: Well I didn't go anywhere spectacularly high this weekend, but I did manage to get some of the best turns I've had in a year. Just wanted to post some pics of last weekend's beautiful weather. Saturday from Rainey Pass looking at Jove Peak. My friend mike getting some on Saturday First tracks in Moonlight Bowl on Sunday Top of Moonlight bowl for another lap.

Sweet, I've been staring at the map of that area all week.

Hey Captain Bastard. Please look up the word "integrity".

I'm not into Trask.

Hearing Catbirdseat say "pussy ass bullshit" makes this post extemely high quality.

Freezing levels droppping to 1000 feet by tomorrow afternoon. Snowpack will be draining and stabilizing. Saturday is GONNA GO OFF BEEOTHCHES. GETCHUSUMORE WHILE THE GOODIES ARE STILL COMIN'.

If you are a slob with your skins like me, you're constantly dipping the ends in the snow, sticking them to your self, and otherwise abusing them. If your skins get snowy in the middle it's not such a problem, but if they get snow at the back end and you don't have a tail clip, you are F-U-C-K-E-D. I have friends who never use tail clips and never lose their skins. I am not as disciplined. Also as you say, they are easier to remove. Especially if you use a Euro-kit (as I always do) where the stretchy thing is on the tip. You just bend over (I'm good at that!) grab the tip, and pull (sounds kinky!). Then you just lift your foot up, peel real fast, and take your buddy's eye out behind you. Simple.

You gotta love how it's coming in warm and getting colder as the week goes on. Saturday's gonna ROCK

I call bullshit on your bullshit.

Huh...I guess I'm not the only one...

To Thomas Crapper and National Thomas Crapper Day. The article is rather lengthy, but indeed an important and rarely told story in human history. "The chamber pot under the bed was an indispensable feature of homes in colder climates because it removes the need for a freezing nocturnal trip to the outdoor privy. Chamber pots became very elaborate and often had likenesses of enemies of the owner at the bottom. In England, some carried a portrait of Napoleon in the target area. " "Flush toilets came on the scene in the 19th Century, but they were in-efficient....." "INTO THIS MESS LEAPT THOMAS Crapper. About 1870 the British Board of Trade put the word out that it needed a more efficient flush toilet, and it was Crapper who came up with the best solution. You can still see it today in the comfort of your own home: a float, a metal arm and a siphonic action to empty the reservoir. "Crapper wasn’t content to sit on his laurels. He had many other inventions, including an automatic flushing urinal and the self-rising toilet seat, designed to offset the problem of splashy males. He was commissioned to install the bathrooms at Edward VII’s new country home at Sandringham, and his firm was granted three other royal warrants."
