Nice, I'm jeolous.

Yeah it was crowded, but people were trying really hard to farm. Made it easy to keep moving further out from the last set of tracks. Did you ski anything south-facing? I imagine the southern aspects are crusty today.

Vail sucks, beater

Cavey, you were on table yesterday? I probably poached your line.

Dryad, sorry 'bout that. There's just been quite a few people trolling for suckers under the auspices of "beginner women needing a lesson". I would've liked to help you out but seeing as how sunday was the best day of the whole season, I wanted to go out touring.

Omifuckinggod!!!! A tele-BABE who wants young, strapping lads who know how to turn-em to teach her tele-technique, or just "mess around". Then she'll buy beer afterwards!!!! Sound too good to be. .... oh crap it is.

I like KEXP. After living in a city with community radio run by a bunch of old, blue-grass "afficionados" and bland jam-band fans, I'm overjoyed to be in a town where the non-commercial radio station doesn't puke out endless hippy-shit. But then again, I'm into whiney indie rock.

Sometimes when people have made themselves look like a horse's ass, instead of conceding the point and moving on, they kick and snarl and foam at the mouth in an attempt to regain a position of command and respect. However, in so doing they merely make themselves look more ridiculous and objectionable. Shalom, Dwayner.

That's funny, that's exactly what I imagine Dwayner would expect "serious" protesters to look like. I hope everyone goose steps on Saturday. That'll sway the right-wingers.

I don't normally take pot shots.... but... Dwayner, you are the most despicable cynic I've ever had the misfortune of encountering. Please seek counseling and salvage the twilight years of your festering life before it's too late.

I find it interesting that people will spend time here DECIDING in their own minds who gets to live and die on planet Earth, and then when they're faced with a mere representation of the reality they support, they get squeamish. That photo that Scott posted breaks my heart all to hell. (Note: Edit to reflect the fact that I've taken erik's points to heart, even if I have been quoted below) Sincerely, Erik Reinert

The photography in the photo album is spectacular. I love the new quick pics feature. Tom's St. Helens photo just showed up on the screen. I love it. http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/plab/showphoto.php?photo=7

Omigod, ChrisT Pearl Jam over Nirvana???!!!! What are you thinking? Nirvana will go down in history as the Beatles of the Northwest (just played "About a Girl" on the jukebox last night). Roger, right on with the Dino Jr. cover. Here's one I still really love: The Breeders doing "Happiness is a warm gun" also Death Cab for Cutie covered Bjork's "All is Full of Love" Cat Power "I can't get no Satisfaction"

How about this one. Firehose, "Walkin' the Cow". But I don't know who did the original (have never even heard it) I just know that it's a cover.

I know. I was just letting Fern know that my offer is null and void unless it's wax, yo. Unfortuneately my sound card doesn't work and I can't find a driver for it.

Glacierdog you've dated your tastes a little bit. Tesla was in my mind one of the best eighties "butt-rock" bands. Kinda like a polished turd, no?

Thanks Fern, but I'm not paying for the MP3 (I miss the emoticon that stuck out it's toungue that Muffy was such a fan of).

The Avalanche Handbook is excellent. It's written like a geology text, full of all the groundbreaking research data. Also, Bruce Tremper's new book is quite good (I can't remember the title) But I don't have either so you can't borrow them.

"William didn't comeiner, he Shatner" - My friend Jeff last weekend.

God say it ain't so Iain's a DEADHEAD!!!!

Sleater Kinney covered Boston's "More than a Feeling". If you can find a copy of it I'll pay you ten bucks for it.

No man, it was Tesla.

Oops didnt' realize there was two more pages after the first.

Dru, gotta correct you here again. Bloody flapper is correct in that the CO Rockies are quite different than the Columbies. Basement rx in the CO rockies were exposed during Laramide thick-skinned thrusting associated with shallowing of the subduction angle of the Farrallon slab. The CO rockies are quite unique in this respect. The crystalline rocks in the Columbias were exposed during rapid extension and exhumation of metamorphic core complexes which are distributed throughout the North American Cordillera. The Columbias are similar in that respect to The Raft Rivers of Utah, the Buckskins and Rawhides of Arizona and host of other core complexes. The Wasatch Mountains represent the foreland of a thin-skinned fold and thrust belt similar to the CanRockies, however these stuctures have since been overprinted by Basin and Range extension. The Columbia Mtns are what's called the hinterland of the the orgenic belt that formed the Can Rockies. The Colorado rockies are neither strictly an orogenic foreland or hinterland. To make things more complicated, Canadian geologists like to cite Quesnellian docking as the mechanism of Canadian foreland thrusting, whereas US geologist disagree, because all that was necessary here was ongoing subduction, not necessarily collision. Sorry it's late and I can't think I'll edit this for clarity some other time. However the Laramide Uplifts (Late K-early T crustal shortening) have nothing to do with exhumation in the Shuswap Metamorphic Core Complex (Eocene crustal extension).
