  1. This is a good place to find avalanche information.
  2. Well put, Slothrop.
  3. Good lobbying. Plus the law currently allocates 20% of the money raised through NOVA to go for non-motorized activities. Here's some basic info on this from WTA's website. web page
  4. I can't make it tonight, but have some pics from my recent trip to Singapore and Malaysia that I might share sometime soon.
  5. REI has them on clearance.
  6. Half off lift tickets at Crystal with a pass from anywhere in WA.
  7. For some reason, tickets to SLC are not at their usual buck 2 eighty nine. Wonder if all the people flying down there to ski's driven the price up a bit....
  8. Looks like you have some killer conditions down there! You should let us all stay at your house, play hooky, and go skiing! A plane ticket to SLC costs less than a lift ticket at the ski area.
  9. Wayne was there, we said hi. I can vouch for him. When DPS weighed in on this thread, it was a big "d'oh" for me because I was lookin' right at him last night trying to figure out who the handsome redhead was...
  10. I'm troubled to see that the Legislative and Executive branches of the Federal Government are meddling in the processes of the courts. This does not bode well for the future of our system. I'm vexed as to why almost everyone involved is not honoring the wishes of this poor woman.
  11. Canon ELPH S500. Don't know about the cold, but otherwise, great for the price and weight. Good battery life too.
  12. Personally, I think eVent is a more breathable fabric. Much more, matter of fact.
  13. Hey, that's it! Thanks so much.
  14. Does anyone know if you can still get NWFP, or is it the $85 or nothing? I can't afford $85!
  15. A few summers ago, I visited Temple Canyon, where I saw this big wedding-cake looking rock that was referred to as "Dartounian Tower." It's one of the first things you see once you come out of the trees at the top of the scramble up from Nada. I haven't been able to find any information on a piece of rock by that name, and wonder if anyone can tell me other names it might be called.
  16. Thanks FF. Now if the other clubs could do the same thing, how cool would that be? It would be almost as cool as not having multiple chapters of the Mountaineers in the same area (Icicle, anyone?) on the same weekend.
  17. Just checking in re the login problems. Adjusted cookie settings on laptop, and have cc.com set to "accepted cookies" in Mozilla. Also just got a new home compyooder, installed Mozilla, starting with a clean slate, still having same problems there, and not with any site other than cc. Also have same problem with running IE. Weird!
  18. Ahem, yes.
  19. Hm, a 41.5 is like a Mens 8 or 8.5 in US sizes, innit?
  20. You know, I was wondering about that. I have a pair in a 41 that are on the snug side, and that's a bigger-than-normal size for me. Other than that, pretty nice scooters though. They are on the light weight end of the approach shoes I have looked at, but don't feel flimsy at all.
  21. And I would think that if you are going to debate the facts, that you would use actual facts. It's totally fine to argue it on a philosophical level where facts are a little less important, but it was your idea to get into the realm of the factual.
  22. Don't you little miss me, you asshat. I looked up the Act before I spoke about it. You didn't. Nothing I could find indicated that mechanized was added later. I do not believe the Act has ever been amended.
  23. The NCCC's website makes no mention of supporting such an idea. Nor have I ever heard of any land manager pushing for it. NCCC policy I don't have that old guidebook but you could very well be right. I'm just not at all convinced that he's active anymore.
  24. They had bicycles AND wheelbarrows in 1964. If you can prove to me that the Act has been amended, then please do so, otherwise, I'm not conceding the point. I don't think Harvey Manning is writing books anymore either, nor do I know of any group currently pushing for Wilderness designation in the DD or closure of the Cascade River Road. P.S. The word "solitude" occurs only once in the Act, and it's in the definition of Wilderness: If you are going to argue this with facts, please use actual ones rather than ones you made up.
