In the Cascades, can a beacon save your life if you are caught in an avalanche, or is it simply a body recovery device? Cite examples if you have any. Discuss. No flaming please.

On my way!

I can't say as yet that I am even the slightest bit tired of it being winter.

Sorry, thanks for catching that.

Just back from 2 days of this class. Anyone looking for a basic [EDIT] Avy class...

There is NOTHING shameful about a well-exectued jump turn.

Sorry dude, I had Avy class at 7 this morning in North Bend and beyond.... Later tonight though!

I have work to do tonight, so we'd better chat instead.

Uh, try Cheney off the ticket and Condi Rice on the ticket. It's all he needs to smear the Ds faces in the dirt.

Uhhh. Max, that person must have been on the crack pipe. Jarred, I wouldn't count on being able to DWR a bag with a bottle or two of Revivex and getting too hot a result. Just go buy a new bag if you want one that's treated.

On skis, you get in over your head, you sideslip a couple of turns. It's a pain in the ass, you feel stupid, and you get in there and just make the turns. Then you (I) feel better about the whole experience. It's got to be a whole lot easier to sideslip all the way down on a board, because I see guys doing it top to bottom. It's like they think what they are doing is "snowboarding." Any boarders want to speak up for the punks and say if this is true? Do they need to go see a movie where the boarders put the small end down the hill or what? Toast, you have my blessings to do what you will to Iceberg. That run has been a sheet of blue since they put in the winch cat pole and started grooming it. FYI they are now using the winch cat pole they put in last summer for the very first drop-in for Snroting Elk, and you have my blessings for that too. You just stay away from the rest of the bowl 'til you know how to carve and there won't have to be any action. Oh and the Right Angle Face....WTF n00b snowboarders %$@!!!

Wow, they are inspecting our mail now...that is complete bullshit.

Couple of routes well below the grades you climb gently stretches everything out. Add a few mins on the bike or the rowing machine to get the blood moving, or bike or run to the gym, and you should be good. I'm only late 30s but my body injures easily. Getting older sucks in terms of the body falling to pieces.

I wish I'd taken at least ONE clean leader fall before taking one that really messed up my body. I never got a chance to really leave the ground, and it's been a long-ass time of trying and failing at something I really enjoy, with more failures than successes. I hope some day to find a way to climb that brings more more enjoyment than trepidation and fear.

gone!

I have a pair of comps for the show this Thursday. I don't know where the seats are, but generally the comps they give us are pretty decent. If you want them, PM me. If you take them, you absolutely have to use them, or see that they get used. Them's the rules, we get in trouble if we sign up for comps and don't use them.

Utilikilts define "not sexy." A sarong, on the right man, on the other hand...!

I've been absolutely baffled by this bizarre behavior. Glad to know I'm not the only one at least!

Skiing.

You want some pointers on how to look cool in a tool belt, Gweggy Weggy?

Uh....WEAK! Marylou 1 HenryR 0

Dude, you're hot enough to star in gay pron.....however I don't go for fellows who vote the way you do. You're safe.

Killing the extended family of a criminal sounds rather barbaric, even for the US, or so I've been told.
