the exaqct trash i am talking about...........dont you live in some neighbor hood where they cut down the trees?? hypocrit! of course there will be additional cuttings. some one has to make a profit they are not going to undo the sierra clubs nightmare over night or for free. what we need to do is start a class action suit against the sierra club for reasource damage and errors & omissions for their bad science. erik you are such a wanker. of course i live in a neighborhood where they cut down trees. most people do. would i support further development of the area. not really but it's a community already. or at least not w/o some serious planning. this bill allows for building roads into previously undisturbed areas. it encourages the logging companies to cut healthy trees. are really does nothing to encourage the reduction of fuels. i'm not opposed to thinning or rethinking forest management. however, i think the "science" involved in the design of this bill is pretty much nonexistent.

well said jason. glad somebody else has also learned the full extent of this bill. it definitley goes beyond "thinning" which might not be a bad thing. it allows significant clearing. might as well put up a new neighborhood in the amounts that they'll be allowed to clear.

come on iaxxx. how can you not like this idea. don't you know that if there's fewer trees in the forest then those houses in so. cal. won't burn.

yes...it'll be nice. who'd want all those annoying trees in the forrest. good thing bush signed that into law

mmmmmmmmmm..........gooooooooooooooooooood

The answers you seek: Revlon powder base and a hint of Max Factor rouge. Paul Masson super hold extra. Mary Kay Really Red is an exact match with the Berry colored sheath on Maxim ropes. Black harness will make your ass look fatter if wearing lighter clothing. Best would be black harness on black pants, or medium tone over black pants. Another option is to coordinate the shoes/nails/rope by choosing the "Evergreen" Chaco straps for the approach, Anasazi Mesas for the climb, "forest green" polish by Covergirl, and the "pine" sheath of Beal ropes. Ta-ta honey, I'm off to the Pottery Barn for some FABULOUS new candlesticks. thanks! could you pick me up some of those really nifty napkins while you're there?

nothing here stopping someone from posting in their chosen "tone" some of us like boys being boys but it would be good to have a few girls being girls too. You mean discussing post thanksgiving shoe shopping? yes and makeup and which hairspray works best for climbing and corridinating my nail polish w/my rope and hair and what color harness makes my ass look fatter and doe my draws match my p'rana top

probably another female. it would be good if there were more posting here i don't think that the girls need to play by the boys rules here. i think that everyone who posts contributes to the overall atmosphere of the site, male or female. i think the site will continue to be a bit raucous regardless of the gender of the posters. if a lurker can't handle it they're better off finding another board. or they can suck it up, post and contribute to a change in the demeanor of the board.

well the alpental conditiosn that i care about are an inch of new today. they'll open after the next storm despite the broken bridge.

damn it! i didn't even get a chance to send mine happy hunting

i'd also like to add the following additions a) no parking signs on the SIDE of the road don't mean that it's ok to park in the MIDDLE of alpental road. b) if you leave your car parked on the side of the road the snowplow will cover it. stop bitchin and start diggin d) know where you're going, following my tracks is only going to get you lost. and i don't care that you're lost.

certainly, i'll post a picture of the bridge. but if you ever refer to me as minxie again, there's going to be some serious penalty slack next time i belay you.

OMFD! THIS IS SO ABSURDLY STUPID ON SO MANY LEVELS! the bolt debate has invaded the ice forum (not that there's a mixed forum) now you wankers are arguing about the environmental impact. dose of reality kids: bolts have an impact...it's small but is evidence that people were there. get over it! yes the alpental valley is continually abused resulting from all the people who enjoy it in a variety of ways. but get real...we're here, living on the planet, so no matter where we go and what we do we will have an impact! we have to go someplace. instead of fruitless arguing about the impact of people in the alpental valley, lets work towards preserving areas that are far more pristine. instead of insulting people who use the area for non climbing activities (ie. snowshoers) why not spend time educating and encouraging these folks to be aware and lessen their impact? these debates just boggle my mind. they are sooooo pointless. bolting wasn't the original topic now we've moved past bolting to the impact of the ski resort. UUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH people exist, thus have an impact. just b/c most of us would rather not see people when we're climbing doesn't mean they shouldn't enjoy the area also. if you want pristine wilderness you're just going to have to work a little harder.

taking a moment to reflect after opening day at snoqualmie pass. after a great day of skiing yesterday i was forced to stay local today. here's some observations some of you might find helpful if you come to the pass this year : 1. even though it's raining, snow still makes for hazardous driving conditions 2. the temperature on the sign at the best western is ALWAYS at least 2*C to warm. As far as i know it doesn't rain when it's -2*C 3. just b/c you have all wheel drive doesn't mean you can't get high centered (note to subie drivers) 4. corollary to #3: your little front wheel drive car will not make it up a steep hill w/5" of wet snow w/o snow tires and/or chains 5. the is cheaper at timewise than at chevron 6. just b/c there's snow on the road doesn't make it ok to walk in the middle of it so you can keep your feet dry 7. even if there aren't "no sledding signs" it's still stupid and unsafe to sled down a bank that lands you in the middle of a road. 8. it's really nice to offer to the chick who pulls your stuck front wheel drive car out of the snowbank 9. neon colored ski jackets from the 80s were ugly then, they're even uglier now. 10. riding the lifts to ski sorta sucks, it sucks even more when it's pouring rain, snoq. pass skiing sucks but damn is it conveniently located!

i may have to put my bunny picture back!

yes accurately recorded is one thing, interpretation and reporting is another. it's amazing what you can do data and statistics depending on your motivation.

i love the cascades b/c they're conveniently located

no no no! i don't eat meat except for the fishies. and unlike fern i have hunted down bambi's big brother ernie the elk.

me too...ok it was 1998 but it's been a while. fishies are nummy!

come on! w/a name like that who'd be a better spokesperson? Yeah...overtime they tend to become introverted, shoegazing, types that are more comfortable hanging with their male buddies than having a conversation, let alone a relationship with a chick. This is particularly true if alpinism attracts them early in their development. Too much nahhh....they just don't know how to close the deal. buncha bloody whiners if ya ask me

Or golf. like golfers get laid? oh wait....maybe they do Viagra rival Cialis to sponsor PGA Tour By Mark Jewell, The Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS — The makers of a new anti-impotence drug said Wednesday they had reached a sponsorship deal with the PGA Tour, staking out a marketing niche in golf to compete with rivals' deals in professional football and baseball.

anyone going up thurs and/or friday?

hey heY hEY HEY! you say that like it's a bad thing it's not like he's joined the mountaineers is it?

how come you gave up the veggie diet? I started craving meat, thinking about meat, dreaming of meat, salivating when I saw others eating meat. After a year of thick headed denial I finnally admited that my body was trying to tell me something. I was in the valley and made reservations at the Mountain Room Broiler. I choked down a whole slab of rare prime rib. Back at camp 4 I think I managed to keep most of the people up all night with my pitiful moans and sounds of wretching. I have never felt so much pain as that given me by my insensed and tortured stomach as it tried to cope. By dawn the pain had subsided and I was able to uncurl out the fetal position. I made it down to camp curry for BACON and eggs just before they closed breakfast. guess i haven't reached that point yet. the smell of bacon is always enticing but the second i see it on my plate
