quote: Originally posted by bolt clipper: If air can pass through the fabric, then it is not windproof. Breathable, yes, but then so is mosquito netting. wind•proof Pronunciation: (wind'prOOf"), [key] —adj. resisting wind, as fabric or a jacket or coat. I think that it could let some wind through and still be wind"proof". I don't know if there is a windproof "industry standard" like there is for waterproof?

I was skiing "rock hard bottomless crust" on Sat because I was so desperate to slide down a hill. How about old times to beat then... Give us something to aim for

What's wrong people, are you going to let me win by default??? quote: Originally posted by snoboy: Alright, the season is on us, so let's get motivated. I propose an honour bound beacon contest. Here are the rules: 1)Two beacons 2)Minimum 60cm burial (2 ft.) 3)Probe hits required. You can leave the first probe in. Put them in a pack or under a crazy carpet so you have something to hit. 4)Hilly terrain prefered. Note if your field is flat. Let's hear about your best times, and what beacon/technique you are using. Here's mine from Jan 2001 - 3:40 with an F1, using the SOS arc technique.

I always liked the blue flagging best, it stands out better when you are red-green colour blind. Whoever came up with neon green flagging for use in the woods must have been a little . I use real time DifferentialGPS , dont you?

quote: Originally posted by terrible ted: If I heard even ONE account of a person in the PNW being recovered ALIVE from a burial avalanche, I might reconsider. How about this one: DTS Tracker brag sheet Select User Group: Skiers And I know someone who was fully buried on Robson (not PNW I know), recovered because of his beacon. I bet almost all avy deaths are reported, whereas maybe all recoveries aren't. [ 11-25-2002, 10:13 PM: Message edited by: snoboy ]

quote: Originally posted by MntnrMichael: If you are referring to skiing down the back side of Crystal into the park, that is illegal, and there is going to be more patrolling for that reason this year. That so sucks so bad. We can ski anywhere we want unless it's in bounds and closed.

quote: Originally posted by Dru: this weekend I placed some bolts to replace a 6" tree that was not well rooted. RIP tree. It was fun when Snoboy and I trundled it though! And then I had a major blonde moment. We were walking off the top and there was this tree in the way and I was, like, "Whats this tree doing on the trail Druuuude??" Oh wait, I am blonde.

quote: Originally posted by Skisports: yeah yeah yeah... whatever there is snow somewhere and if all else fails go climb some ice Sure there's snow, but it might be "rock hard bottomless crust." It might still be fun though. [ 11-25-2002, 02:39 PM: Message edited by: snoboy ]

quote: Originally posted by Dru: BUT when they put sand and gravel on the road (like on Hwy 1) you can kiss goodbye to your windshield cause evey time you drive to the Rockies you pick up some windshield cracks or chips. He speaketh the truth. In Ontario, they have banned studs, because some body died after a stud flew out of a tire, and hit someone's windshield and so on... At least that's what my Pa says. I had studs on my last 4x4, but with the diff lock and four chains on this one I don't miss them.
