MINX!!! NEVER TELL THEM WHEN YOU ARE GOING AWAY!

There is something worse timm@y... It's snoboy telling you how he had 15" too, and he wasn't sick, and he ripped it up!

So you can leave the ruler at home when you are digging full snow profiles.

A probe that is just a probe and doesn't try to be anything else, like a pair of ski poles.

Butter, Sugar, and Brandy or Rum.

I have those ^ poles. They rock, they are awesome ski poles. The only problem I have is that sometimes the handles are really hard to get off. If they get water in them and freeze, then they are pretty much impossible. Other than that I think they are probably the best pole/probe option out there. For me, I bought them because they are good poles, I still carry a dedicated probe usually, unless I am in a big group. It's longer, and quicker.

After the orgy of consumerism that "climaxed" yesterday, I decided it was time for a little back to nature today. Not wanting to drive too far, or thrash in too much bush, I decided to stay close to home and do the circuit tour of the local range. After an epic 9 minute drive I was at the trail head, and had picked up my partners for the day. We disembarked from the Silver Tsube, and gathered all the last minute gear that I had thrown in, somehow I had managed to arrive with skins, boots, and skis! Poles too! Ouch, I forgot how much work touring for turns is, I have been getting lazy these days. Up. Up. Up. Re-breaking old trail is such a good way to travel in the snow. No brains required, just zone out and push. Oh! The top! So Soon? Cool. Fruit cake and hard sauce is good ski tour food. Skins off, skis on, lock and go! So good. Back up to the top again, and off the South side this time. Not as good, dinged a couple of rocks, but it got gooder in the trees. Well, both sides of that mountain done, must move on to the next one. Up and over Grey mountain, and to the top of the sweetest 2500' of first trax that I have had in a long while. Open pine glades, and calf deep freshiez. 8==D Hit the cattrack of the ski hill and out to the road. Walk across to partner's house, and go pick up my car.

I saw a Carbon fibre Life Link one today that had a really fiddley system of locking it up. Nice probe, but

No meat in mincemeat.

unknown... yet

I meant more the length of the blade can be a little lacking for cutting out a shovel shear block that should be 35-40cm upslope, need like a 45 or 50cm blade for that. Jamming a shovel handle in there can knock it apart, and I find they don't cut crust that well (the handles that is). Also if I want to do multiple shovel tests, then I don't wanna be taking the handle of the shovel off to cut the block, then back on to do the test, then back off to cut it, then back on... And no, I don't always have a buddie along. I just use shovel and glove for everything else, I like the evergreen branch idea though.

Some of them have a woodsaw in the handle. Works as a snow saw, and also good for making splints or cutting firewood. Most of the saws in handle that I have seen are too short for real snow pit work.

Get the shovel that you would want your partner to have. If your partner shows up with something that you think is too flimsy, offer to trade.

Here's what I want now:

Gimme a freshiezone category and I'll drop a few in there.

Actually... ahh... that would be me, snoboy, who banned. I'll take responsibility. TOS???

He should know better, it's pretty common knowledge that porn isn't acceptable here. It's not the first time either. Not anymore it doesn't, hasn't for a while. I never noticed what was going on in that avatar until someone brought it up as a comparision to Charlie's post. Who's dorothy, and what has she got to do wih this???

It would kill the tree.

Why is it lame to ban someone who posts porn? 'Coz he did.

I would say yes, it is full of "densolite," AKA foam, no wood there.

Oh, wait, maybe your're right...

I think I'm in love...

Do we get the linx back on the sidebar soon? Pretty please???
