  2. That's real beer! mmmmmmmm... Strangely Unibroue is one of the few blessed beers that does not make me feel shitty. For those of you who don't know of the stuff... find it, drink it, you will learn to love it. 9% for crying out loud!
  3. Today they were not so heavy. In fact Ullr blessed us with a little suprise, 25cm of fluffy freshieness! Woo Hoo! Even with my bad ass cold I managed to get in some nice "sick" skiing. All I asked for was one more powder day, and I got it!!! Everything else is gravy now Back tommorow for more, it's not used up yet.
  4. They don't, it's just a rumour. The pics you saw weren't really the Bugs. Uh uh.

    Nothing. I just finished _Fierce Inavalids Home From Hot Climates_ by Tom Robbins though. Good and rascally. Strangely current.
  6. Why, thank you, I think...
  7. You could get the same result just by looking straight down, all that tells you is the rows are made of the same shapes, like dru said a while back.
  8. I thought you were missing tomcat. Ha!
  9. What's the matter muffy???
  10. Initial symptoms are flue like, but it can get worse. Hmm, dying in a car crash is actually something I worry about from time to time, so that stat doesn't make me feel much better. Anyway, it's the bit before you die that's worse anyway. Joint pain, kinda like debilatating arthritis. Might put a bit of a damp rag on your climbing. Ahh heck, why not just read the American Lyme Disease Foundation web page. Their info is probably way more accurate than mine.
  11. I was at the hill today, and I saw more debris out of bounds than I have seen all winter! Excellent skiing though!! Aparently there was a skier involvement in a post control release at Whistler on Sunday too. In the X-mas trees for thos of you who know the area. The guy was buried (partially or fully I haven't heard) but OK.
  12. Avalanches kill four in B.C. Last Updated Wed, 26 Mar 2003 21:12:37 VALEMOUNT, B.C. - Three snowmobilers died in an avalanche near Fernie, B.C. on Wednesday afternoon and a heli-skier has died in a slide near Valemount. The Fernie avalanche buried six snowmobilers in an area known as Fairy Meadows. RCMP Sgt. Steve Roberston says rescuers were only able to save three of the six. "Three of the party were buried quite deep and were dug out deceased. A fourth individual was flown out by helicopter to the Fernie hospital with non-life- threatening injuries." The three men who died were all in their 30's. Two of them were from Fernie, while the other man was from the Crow's Nest Pass area. In the other accident, a 45-year-old heli-skier died Wednesday, after being buried in an avalanche on Mt. Terry Fox near the B.C.-Alberta border. The victim was one member of a group of 10 French, Swiss and British tourists skiing in the backcountry near Valemount, B.C., which is near Jasper. The avalanche happened in the afternoon. Two helicopters and 15 avalanche technicians and guides were dispatched to help rescue the man. He was buried for about 25 minutes. He was pronounced dead at the Valemount Medical Clinic. The man's name has not been released. The RCMP says other members of the ski party are traumatized but otherwise OK. Snow conditions throughout the Rockies are worsening. The avalanche risk is considered 'considerable' in many backcountry areas. So far this year 22 people have died in avalanches in B.C., including seven Alberta high school students who died in a slide near Revelstoke on Feb. 1. Written by CBC News Online staff Source
  13. Actually I would criticize it even more. I think the biner on bolt is weird, but probably OK. One biner on a nut is insanoty!!!!!!!!!!
  14. Or are they geeks freaking on tweak-speak???
  15. I would be curious to know why they don't reccomend the footbed? Maybe you could ask and let us all know. I know some people don't use them, but I think since the liners are moulded with your weight on them, they will simply mould in any problems that your foot has... I have footbeds in my liners. $120.
  16. AMGA is UIAGM recognized nowadays, at least to the same extent that ACMG is. You do Ski and Alpine and you are a guide.

  18. The US doesn't use them, but they do have them, no? What about the other members of the "coalition?" Or maybe Iraq has some chemiical weapons.
