  1. Well Frank settled down in the Valley and hung his wild years on a nail that he drove through his wife's forehead he sold used office furniture out there on San Fernando Road and assumed a $30,000 loan at 15 1/4 % and put down payment on a little two bedroom place his wife was a spent piece of used jet trash made good bloody marys kept her mouth shut most of the time had a little Chihuahua named Carlos that had some kind of skin disease and was totally blind. They had a thoroughly modern kitchen self-cleaning oven (the whole bit) Frank drove a little sedan they were so happy One night Frank was on his way home from work, stopped at the liquor store, picked up a couple Mickey's Big Mouths drank 'em in the car on his way to the Shell station, he got a gallon of gas in a can, drove home, doused everything in the house, torched it, parked across the street, laughing, watching it burn, all Halloween orange and chimney red then Frank put on a top forty station got on the Hollywood Freeway headed north Never could stand that dog
  2. I hot wax regularly, but very rarely break out a file and then only for the biggest burrs. The one time I had my skis professionally tuned, I let them bevel the edges and absolutely hated the way they skied ever after. Years ago, there was an article in some climbing magazine about ski mountaineering. IIRC, the writer recommended never tuning or waxing your skis because if you’re on an expedition, they’ll inevitably go to shit so you oughta just get used to it. Easily the worst advise I ever read.
  3. Take it to Spray, asseyes! (just kidding) Congratulations! When’re the online lessons starting?
  4. A friend and I climbed the Tilly Jane trail just for fun. We didn’t hit snow until around 4,900’ after which there were only a few spots of bare ground to cross. Made it to the A-frame in 1hr45m and continued up along the Southern ridge of the Elliot until we got to 7,300’. As usual, the snow was pretty wind-impacted up there and it sure didn’t look like it’d be getting much better further up, so we pulled the pin and ripped back down over variable ice and crust to treeline where conditions improved muchly. For the rest of the afternooon we followed the “never leave good snow to find good snow” school and fired-off laps of tree shots before heading down trail. The trail had corned up nicely and we were able to fly down to snowline with only a little mowing of beargrass. No epics of mountaineering will be written about our trip. We just had a fun day on skis. Good to see you here, Extremo! Good luck with that knee.
  5. Gar! Piracy? Maybe if I'd re-titled the thread, "Booty Call" or something. I'll throw in a pair of old socks!

    Annoyances

    People who won’t “cover” their cough. That one’s always peeved me off, but I imagine it becoming a more common annoyance in months to come…
  11. There were at least four serious, but separate, problems with the O2 binding, so BD pulled them off the market back in January, or thereabouts. I traded mine in for T9s and have skied, hassle-free, everafter. Total recall notice.
  12. Funny how all of the cowboys mentioned in that article were really actors. How gay is that?
  13. Noicely done guys. Great running into you down in the walley. Bring on Spring!

    The Hunted

    Why would they re-make a Spanish language version? The original had hardly any dialog to speak of... Catch "The Quiet American" before it leaves the theatres.
  15. Deduct 75 points for not being able to figure out how to tweak the page.
  16. Allow me to exercise my newly found Insightful Linguisousity. SPOILER ALERT!!! The olorscay from the previous aresquay shifted to opposite idessay and two new olorcay were introduced to the order. Did someone say Pimpz???
  17. I'm at one with what's left of my blondness... 133 and proud to be a dumbass. Stop being such a sourpuss TC, we're all climers (sic) here. Right?
  18. I don't know what the current conditions are either, but for a number of reasons, I'd agree that the West side routes are more fun to ski than the South.

    So...

    "flappinumm..." :>( )<
  20. Nice pictures! I was soaking it all in at SkiHole, yesterday. Slushiez all over the place! Outback was stellar up top, but mighty thin on those exit shots to the Log road. I screwed up a landing (all by myself!) and came away with a headache and a slightly black eye. Good luck with the knee, IandI.

    To propagandize. Or so I’ve heard…
  23. But we will “live at the mercy of” North Korea, China, Iran, the soon to be Islamofascist (thx, W!) Pakistan, etc… Or are we gonna Shock and Awe them too?

  25. The FreshieQuest was a Success. There was plenty of snow in the Tatoosh. It was snowing when we pulled in Friday afternoon. It started to clear just after we’d set up camp, so we did some cocktail runs on the slopes East of Reflection Lks. Powder, turns, smiles. Saturday dawned clear and cold to bluebird skies, windless climbing in shirtsleeves and more powder everywhere. Pow in the chutes below and to skier’s right of the Castle. Pow in the treelines leading back to camp. Pow on the ridgetops. A new benchmark in bc days for me. I skied until I couldn’t hardly stand up anymore and limped back into camp around 4:20. Sunday, we got in one long run on the NE side of the Unicorn, I think... Would love to of explored more but the visibility was going South and we had to drag our camp back to the trailhead. It was snowing heavily down to the park entrance as we drove away.
