mtnfreak- I have thought the same thing myself. I was hoping to build a reporting type system for cc here, but wasn't sure how much it would be used. My idea was to make a structured form (much like the Trip Report application), that would make avvy reports a bit more structured, and searchable than say this message board. My thought was that people could post near misses, as well as data/info they have collected while digging pits or traveling in the backcountry. I think nw avy center is on the right track with their blog idea, but its just like a message board where stuff really isn't structured and info isn't very easy to search in there. But honestly how many folks would take the time to post snow conditions they have found on a trip?

last hour, as if any of you care, gust of over 100 mph.

SICK BRAH! I know what fejas is thinking looking at those cornices. I'll get off my lazy arse and write up a TR tonight.

peak gust on the top of bachy in the last hour 95mph

the "puppy cam" is currently the "cone cam" at work

wind readings from the top of bachelor over the past 12 hours, new data is on the left, old on the right. blue line represents the max gust over the hour, bar is the average. sumtin is blowin in!

wow, just didn't know what to do, but the man came and visited bachelor today. i'm speechless.

so is glopstopper, or skin wax, just plain ol wax? can one simply rub a candle on their skins? i know its cheap but i wanna know.

only problem CBS... i was eating yogurt when you sent the email to check that post out. i guess i don't have to pack a lunch for tomorrow though!

did any of y'all take picts? eye candy is always appreciated.

shred can i come?

when you think that this: is the funniest thing you've seen in the past month

how was the snow? did you ski?

you know one other thing, moving spray gave you pud pullers something to whine about on this fine tuesday morning. so you should be thankful you didn't have to discuss the pros/cons of Hans Blix's new book, or perhpas another exciting thread on gay mairrage, or [insert common spray discussion topic here]

i suppose i maybe not hard enough, but every trip i have brought my axe on, it has always stayed srapped to my back pack. so what i gather is the whippet is primarily usefull whilst skinning on sketchty terrain, and for gougin yourself when falling on the descent? i'm thinking a light axe might be a better option, maybe i'll deploy the joshk duct tape technique. i think my spelling has gotten very poor since i skied with fejas this weekend.

you all are so fucking suck. discuss.

situation: rei refund in hand dilemma: light axe or whippets? discuss pro's cons, what you have, and if you are willing to give it to me for free?

the best part of this poll is that Eugene, OR is representin up in da hizzy. Props to OREGON BABY!

i usually import my wimmin from prineville or burns, so don't worry about lack of fine choices within bend. besides country girls are much better than patagucci wearin bend girls. I represent the EAST SIDE up in here. I guess i'm not truly east side, but kind of middle central. If i were a single young buck, i'd definately do the west side thing, get myself one of those cruise bikes, which i could ride to drake park and play hackey sack, or maybe get involved in that club that does cool medieval duels in the park. Nevertheless, bend is a happenin great town. plenty to do and see, and drink and eat. Let us know when you arrive and we'll through a pub club so you can meet up with some of the SICKEST mofo's this side of the cascades.

With spring officially just a few days around the corner, and the recent snap of spring like weather, I can't help but notice that an interesting outdoor phenomenon is happening yet again. I'm not quite sure if it is our internet, want it right now attitude, or perhaps we are tricked to easily be retailers flaunting the next season's gear; but during the shoulder seasons (Fall and Spring both), folks seem to hurry up and get their panties in a bunch for the next big thing. It seems as soon as the first sign or hint of spring hits, folks toss the winter garb into deep storage, and rush out to begin summer time activities. Likewise in the fall, the same gear that is being busted out this week gets tossed and folks pull out the ski's or ice tools and obsess over the forthcoming cold/snow. My friends, spring and fall are perhaps some of the most enjoyable times to be outdoors, celebrating and enjoying the things we love to do. The smells and sounds of the seasons changing in the mountains is perhaps one of the most amazing and beautiful things I have ever seen/felt/touched/smelled. I'm personally so excited for spring that I sometimes have a hard time sleeping. Being able to climb up firm snow in the morning, glisse down velvet corn in the afternoon, and all the while have my senses bombarded with the smells and touch of spring, it doesn't get any better. So I'm not sure the purpose of my rant, but get out there and enjoy the wonders of Spring... resist the urge to enter full on summer mode... stay away from summer gear swagolouges, and enjoy this fantastic season. Get Sum.

Bachy Speed Traps: Long Straight away on cascade lk's hwy, and straight away after lower s curves afer a sunny day on the mountain: OSP and Forest Service tools both like to patrol, usually in pairs.
