Climb: Snoqalmie-Crooked Couloir Date of Climb: 2/8/2004 Trip Report: Skied it. Gear Notes: Shouldn'ta had gear. Approach Notes: Snow.

Luckily Shane McConkey is developing skis that do the same thing. Reverse sidecut, fat, etc, and now he's slideslipping mountains instead of skiing. Sideslipping: it's the new carving.

I'm gonna vote for him based on that fact alone.

"I'm a loser, baby, so why don't you kill me..." What do normal people do on Fridays?

Trying to get psyched to do homework! Woohoo.

LMFAO!

AT gear only sucks on rolling terrain and when sidestepping with the heel unlocked. For the rest, no comparison.

Hit an elk while driving to ski S. Sister last spring. Totaled the car. We skied the moutain, and managed to drive back to Springfield. The next day the car barely made it to a junkyard (20min drive). The really funny part was when some guy started honking frantically when he saw our car. Like we hadn't noticed the damage.

It took you several weeks to figure that out?

I've used a Bod for five years. Sport, trad, alpine, glacier walking, etc. A great all-around harness. Maybe not quite as comfy as others, but claiming that it makes hanging belays and the like miserable is not true. And my 'boys' have never been squashed. YMMV.

So this one time, I was like climbing, and stuff, and my bro's all like "dude, let's go climb that!" and he sets up a TR and we climb and like lower off and then I notice he like set the TR up with the rope going over a rap sling and stuff! And I'm like "Dude, we're gonna DIE!" It was like extream and like stuff, you know?

I think they're trying to make the general public feel fat so they get off their asses and do something! Which is good. Focusing on how hard you climb is better than focusing on wether you're 'fat' or not. How hard you climb, after all, is what really counts, right?

Yeah, but it's sooooooooooo cool!

Marmot's website lists them. Or just buy one from BD, have it sent to a Seattlite's place, and pick it up as you pass through.
