Take it to Spray, asseyes! (just kidding) Congratulations! When’re the online lessons starting?

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.

Outstanding article. That last quote is a keeper! Thanks for posting it.

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…

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.

Funny how all of the cowboys mentioned in that article were really actors. How gay is that?

Noicely done guys. Great running into you down in the walley. Bring on Spring!

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.

Deduct 75 points for not being able to figure out how to tweak the page.

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???

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?

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.

"flappinumm..." :>( )<

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.

Fictious??? If only...

To propagandize. Or so I’ve heard…

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?

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.

I know where the Mystery Climb is. I always figured you for the FA, Wayne, or did I hear that wrong? I love Tim too much be to objective about the book, but the book of backcountry climbs that he never published is still my favorite. Sure wish he could ski on those knees of his. Here's to climbing with you, Tim!

Thanks, T3. I'll go party in the snow then. Mini no more!

Sounds like gu for lunch then!

Don't forget Windy Crag for some quick apre work cragging. It's about the miniest of crags imaginable but still kinda fun on the right day.
