snoboy

I think Valemount is in the Interior, and the Trench is to the East of it. Or I am lost???

Try SOLE, they seem to be OK, and cheaper than most moldables...

Stop cheating or you will be getting lots of it this summer in Squamish.

Daisy is banned = Daisy's banned = Daisy's Daisy Rawks. I miss her.

Your silly little thread got moved to Spray. Whose in charge now, slushboy? That would be: Moderator: erik, gapertimmy, iceguy, Off_White Any more questions? Who do you think moved it here anyway???

Awesome! It's good to hear you are back. I was triggering slabs in the storm snow one week ago today in Spanky's, so I was wondering if you would get to have any fun or not. That's the wonder of the coastal pack eh?

Yes there is, but of course if you do that, you can also get it to let you go there again. If you had a good friend do it for you maybe...

You are most welcome. Any thing else I can do for you? Uhh... forget I said that!

GregW - Although I am more of a coastal skier, and don't have a lot of experience with the interior sno climate, I am about 1 hr drive from Nelson this winter, so I have a few thoughts on what's up... The snowpack is particularly bad this year. There are several layers that have persisted through the season, driving the stability down every time there is a new load on it. I have observed these layers (most of them surface hoar on sun/melt crsuts) as being moderate to hard on shovel and compression tests, while reacting fairl easily on rutschblocks (3/4). This leads me to feel that most of the snow pack is in the grey zone most of the time, making for tricky descision making. The Nelson area, and the rest of the Columbia Mtns are usually a intermountain snowpack, which seems to me to mean that we get the dumps like the coast but we get the problems of a Rockies pack. My memory (fallible for sure) seems to be that most winters see most accidents in this area, especially the big, newsworthy ones. I have not felt it worth doing much touring this winter. Partly because I have an awesome ski hill here that is not crowded so I can find Freshiez days after the last snow, but mostly because of the sketchy snow. The other factor that has affected the percption of this winter is the fact that there were two BIG incidents, a week or so apart. If either one of those had not happened we would be on an average kind of year. As it is, we are going way over average now. My thoughts, YMMV.

So do you really think that your TR's and photos are useless drivel? i mention snafflehounds and horsecock in all my TRs and all my photos of them. if you want a serious answer you will have to bribe me by rescinding the banning of daisy dru - I think only jon can do that. What good is she now if everyone knows she's yours anyway??? Really, I would like a serious answer though.

nazi Yup! Just for this thread anyway. You were warned. baby!

I was actually waiting for the definitive proof that he wasn't the speed demon that he said he was... But I digress...

OK so maybe Dan is f.o.s., but there were obviously some people who cared about the topic enough to try and document whether or not there might be some truth to the record. If people aren't inteested does that give them the right to spray all over someone elses converstaion? Shouldn't they just try and ignore the topic and let those who care about it get on with whatever?

So do you really think that your TR's and photos are useless drivel?

No I don't think it's a power trip, I just want to start a meaningful discussion on this topic, and in the present cc.com climate, I think it is only fair to be up front about what I am trying to do here! It seems that otherwise I might just be putting this post up for major spray bait! Basically I am throwing down the gauntlet to all those who think that the moderation hasn't been done fairly lately, asking them to come up with better ways to do it. Got anything to contribute? Or will I have to delete your post because you are insulting me?

[edit] OK obviously you guys have too much time on your hands and no real ideas to contribute. Too bad. I thought maybe we could actually talk about something real, blah blah blah... [/edit] This is in the freshizone so I can mod (censor/delete/lock) the hell out of it if I want too. You've been warned! To all those who are complaining about the moderation on this board - How would you do it if it were yours? Tell me - what you would consider unnacceptable, and how you would deal with it?

And try to find the stuff that has a bit of a softer weave to it. The stiff 6mm just tends to jam a bit.

They ship their own brand though, which means most of their clothing.

The King5 report: Two skiers killed in B.C. avalanche 03/18/2003 Associated Press NELSON, British Columbia - An avalanche in the Grizzly Bowl area of Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park in southeast British Columbia rolled over four skiers, killing two of them Monday afternoon. Early reports suggested that the dead skiers were two men from Seattle. The wall of snow in buried the two skiers who had hiked into the area with two others to ski out. Canadian authorities scrambled to reach the buried skiers, but it was too late. Both men were dead when B.C. Parks and police rescuers reached them, the RCMP said in a statement. The victims were not identified except as ?residents of the USA.? Police said relatives were being contacted. Eighteen people have now been killed in B.C. avalanches this winter, including 14 in the Revelstoke region, about 90 miles north of Nelson. Seven teens from Calgary were killed in Glacier Park on Feb. 1, and seven skiers and snowboarders were killed in the back country north of Revelstoke on Jan. 20.

Actually, dru, the scientific term would be "VERY BAD THING!!!"

We have this very daisy in our house!!! "daisy is fully posable and her magnetic hands and feet allow her to use the trowel and watering pot to keep her daisies strong and healthy"

It's spray. Expect the worst. No allowed here.

They are good. I have two pairs. They look like long underwear, but they are comfy and they seem to stand up good.

You mean like this: "allison is a rock climbing instructor/supervisor at lifetime fitness and is a pretty bitchin' climber too"
