Does anyone know enough about the winter conditions to tell me if the majority of the route could be ski mountainered? How steep does the ridge get? What about skiing (traversing the ridge) back down? I understand your not really on a ridge but more on the sides of one and exposed to avy prone gullies and what not, but I'm thinking that traveling on the windward side might not be to bad. If the ridgeing off the coast continues I am thinking about giving it a go next week.

Joined the subaru club and they dont fit it. 4 Yokohama Guardex snow tires, basically full tread depth. They are mounted on 15" superior wheels and they Bolt pattern is 4X100 Fits most Civics, Integras, Jettas, golfs and preludes as well as a bunch of other cars. Check Tire rack.com to see if they fit your car. Gotta clear room in storage so I'm trying to move them quick before I have to go back to work. 200 takes them mounted/balanced and ready to go. PM me if your interested. Nick

The palmer snowfield is the top lift with only "black" terrain leading down from it. I would say that this time of year it is NOT a good place for beginner skiers at all, the weather can be awful up there (whtie outs, fog and wind)and while its not all that steep it's a very long continuous 22 or so degree angle affording little rest/stopping oppourtunity for those still learning to ski. However if they are running pucci (lift G) then your good to go.

You were starting to worry me there TLG... Atomics what? Can't go wrong with a Volkl.

I have the most recent ones with the longer pins. And have actually moved the heals even further forward than Dynafit recommends. But you can only go so far and still be able to use them in tour mode on the lowest riser setting. I think some of the increase in trouble is the extra torque created by having Twin Tips (BD Havoc's). You can also retrofit any of the Dynafit bindings with the longer pins, just order them from Life-Link. It does affect your release settings though so if your a stickler for accurate dins you'll need to have them bench tested to set the release values on both axis.

Was he in ski or skin mode? Above comments are spot on for tour mode. However if he was in ski mode, you cant kick in your tails to kick turn because over cambering the ski causes the pins to release in the back sending you onto your face. I know most people dont kick in there tails, but there are times when safty and security demands it. This is by far my biggest complaint about them.

Sierra trading post has size 5 and 5.5UK (US 6 and 6.5) Denalis and lasers, for 120 and 80. Not thermoflex though. Also not womens specific but a usual womens size.

Personal choice for sure, if you dont where one for comfort(heat), weight, uber climber that never falls, or your simply just arrogant and believe "it will never happen to me" whatever. But if you choose not to wear one simply because you think it makes you look like a dork... Get over it, you look like one anyway and yer pretty stupid to boot. Not directed at any one specific, just saying.

Getting them is easy, I should have said getting AT&T to activate a new line of service with one is difficult. ANY cellphone within usable range of a compatible cell tower can call 911, regardless of activation or even if the phone is locked, FCC mandate. A Tri-Band Phone will operate on multiple Frequencies (MHZ). A Tri-Mode Phone will operate on multiple network types (Analog, Digital, GSM...)

With the exception of finding a TDMA(tdma digital and analog) or GAIT (GSM 800mhz 1900mhz,TDMA and analog)phone from AT&T, which is becoming increasingly difficult. Your only true option for a phone the roams from digital to analog networks is unfortunantly Verizon wireless. As for the AT&T options the TDMA spectrum is being moved over to GSM as user migration from one to the other occurs and service is suffering in Metro areas (possibly on purpose). The GAIT phones are not user friendly and have a few flaws, but one could get a GAIT phone and only use it when going to urban areas and switch the SIM card in the phone to a more practicle GSM phone in the city. The Verizon option allows you any phone verizon currently sells and you can travel on any analog network and compatable CDMA networks as well. This would give you the most access for least hassle (expect for dealing with verizon customer service but they all need help there...) Keep in mind there are going to be places where one works and another doesnt, and it could be the one with the least total coverage that works there. And before you ask, yes, I did at one point work in the wireless industry.

That's ski season, why would you want to go climbing then?

Actually there are 30-40 vollies every sat-sun...

Yep read it, and I believe that fund was the word for it not hire. As in it is a government position. I would imagine that the patrol will be the ones primarily responsible for enforceing the boundry closure. I would also bet that the snow ranger will for the most part occasionaly tour the boundry line to check for compliance (signage, ropes) and count tracks. While spending most of his/her time doing other things. I can tell you the last thing that the patrol will be doing is chasing you out there, way to big a time commitment on their part, if they happen to be there when you go out or come back then you'll get chatted to. The really interesting thing will be the reprecussions, I doubt it will be any more than a speech, your ticket yanked for the day and your name added to a list. Essentially no more than ducking any rope there can get you.

All you need, is the budget to do so (extra patrollers) and the willingness to stand out there and freeze... And the top of the King would be about the most worthless place to do it unless all you want to do is spot them.

Can you imagine what it would be like trying to enforce such a rule...

Never have so few Taken so much From so many For so long And in Goverment Camp this summer on a Volkl van "bro bra blah blah"

Climbed and skied yesterday (the 21st) Planned on heading out from Tline at 7, didnt leave untill 11:00, So after some frustrating postholing, the snow firmed around 10000 and the last thousand went by quickly. Didnt really like the traverse above the Berg in alpine ski boots without crampons or an axe. Left the summit just after 2:15 The descent was good all the way back to the top of palmer, not sticky (GPS said 53.5 somwhere between the berg and crater rock) and if you hit the salted racer lanes the ski to the mile is good also.

You're not closing down Whistler this weekend?

I might be up for it as well... gotta check on some other "commitments" first though.

John long Climbing Anchors
