Will I be shit out of luck without a b/c setup? I usually rent a spilt board for touring, I'm thinking I'll need to do the same here. No transeiver should be required though, right?

Well normal journalism doesn't alow for editorial opinion. That's up for you to add or an editorial show.

Elect Gary Nolan! According to our mercenary friend, if you're against war you're a coward! Wars for everyone! That's such a lovely thought. Personally, I think it'd take a lot more guts to come back and protest a war that you'd been involved in, rather than 'somehow' forgetting if you showed up for your weekend warrior duty. But what do I know. I'm just a coward because I don't think wars are the coolect thing since sliced bread.

Jefferson, Jackson, West Seattle, Mt Si....oh wait. I think we're talking about two different things...

Am i missing something? There's nothing in that post except ML-events... and i can't reply to it. Do i have to have super duper access priv?

Mmmm Thanksgiving leftovers!

I was looking to buy a set of quickdraws (about 12) and I'm wondering if there's any real difference. These things tend to range in price from $8 - $25 each...a huge difference in price. I'm sure some of it is personal preference like biners, but you have to start somewhere to find out what you like. Any suggestions? Thanks

i should be there. i need some info on the spring ski-in

Well it's ironic in that the dood has been pushing McDonalds as a healthier place for the last couple of year. Smaller sizes, salads, skip the bun, etc.

Corn at Stevens...boarding in short sleeves rocks.

Got a $60 BD harness for my gf for $12. w00p!

Snowboarding

Tortillas are great because they go with everything....tuna, pnut butter, nutella...

"You are way more optimistic than him/her. and you are very demanding on him/her this is the major erason of break-ups. you should listen to athers' suggestions and advice. you should nod regularly while listening to him/her. you have a bad habit of cutting through his/her line to add your comment. pay extra caution whon you say But or However I love Japanese stuff. I'm leaving for Tokyo on saturday! schweet

eh? Somebody asked about the pocket rocket and I replied that I liked it. Did I miss something?

I have the mitts (the MT Baker?) and the less clunky gaiters (Flex-tex, long) and I have to say I've not been super happy with either of them. They aren't bad, but it's not gear that I'm constantly impressed with, especially for the price. This stuff isn't cheap. I use the mitts for climbing and snowboarding. The biggest plus is that the combination of fleece inner mitt and waterproof outer shell keeps my hands warm. But, soon after I started using the mittens, the sew-back loop on both of the upper straps came undone, meaning that the strap continually comes out of the little buckle. It's a pain having to feed the strap thorugh the buckle every time I put the gloves on. Especially since you have to do it with the mittens on. I'm also seeing that the shell is separating at the seams and in some other places. I've heard you can take them back, but I've yet to try that. The gaiters use a thin cord (kinda like the laces you'd find on loafers. I think. I haven't owned loafers since I was 12 and my mom made me wear them to church) to wrap around the boot, followed by an initial snap and then velcro all the way up. At the top is a 1" wide strap that runs around the top of your calf to keep the gaiters high on your leg. It's almost impossible to snap together that snap in the morning after your boots and gaiters have been freezing in the vestibule all night. I'm not sure what you'd replace the snap with though. I've also noticed that the velcro seems to come apart as the day goes on. Additionally, I've never been able to tighten the top strap enough so that the gaiters stay up just under my knees throughout the day. In fact, I've never had much luck getting that strap to even stay closed. It tends to undo itself after a few minutes of walking. POOR DESIGN. I'd be interested in the zipper backed ones and a better strap system at the top. Amazingly enough, that thin cord around the boot has never broken or come undone. Good thing too because it would suck to have to tie it in the cold. I don't think I've ever untied it since the first time I put them on.

is going to be plab. pow pow pow. 1-2 ft today and tonight. Heading up to Baker tonight. Hit it while it's fresh, ladies.

Afterwards the snow level goes crazy. here's hoping it doesn't rain all weekend long.

Sweet!!

Maybe this week? Di some Xc in saturday by baer and it was a slush fest. THe forecast looked horrible on Saturday for this week, but now they've completly revised it. Hopefully we'll get a foot or two midweek. Crossing my fingers.

i'm gonig to go grab the poacher. it's not much lighter but i'm going to work on the theory that i'll just waste that extra space (with weight) if i have it available. Thanks!

Anybody have this pack? What do you think? Is it too big for a day of touring?

Really? That storm looks pretty warm. We need the Canadian storms!

OK. Almost March here. Where are the big storms? I'm heading up to Baker for each of the next three weekends and this 1" stuff ain't cutting it...
