A friend sent me the link to this climbing and skiing video; for your enjoyment while we're all waiting to get back out there: https://www.facebook.com/100002422883876/posts/2825174387573296/?d=n

well, he's married to me, so he gets a lot of practice being understanding.

I'm just happy that it happened there instead of on either of my upcoming hut trips, and with a partner who just said, "oh thank God, now we can go drink beer" instead of being pissed I ruined the day. hah.

hey, I spent yesterday breaking a binding on Smithbrook Road, so you could have done worse.

That's exactly why I ended up getting out of mountain rescue.

Please reply back with how it goes! I don't have any need for them this minute but I'm sure I will in the future.

yeah, when I checked in with der Rat as to how he felt about me spending a boatload of cash on an Ikon Pass, he said would only approve if I visited my college roomie in SLC and skied there too. (That guy really abuses his powers as head of the household.) Now it looks like it might the only way to get my money's worth out of it! Might even have to do a second trip in the spring..... btw stellar photos as always, especially the Dome and Whitechuck shots.

my current plan b is to spend next week skiing around SLC. here's hoping for ten days of storms while I'm away.

I haven't used these guys (this guy?) so can't testify as to quality, but saw their flyer on the bulletin board at Vertical World: https://highmountaingearandrepair.com/

To this day every time I see hello kitty I think "alpine kitty."

biners are spoken for, thanks.

16 old school ovals in perfectly fine condition. pick up greenwood or downtown seattle. dragon not included.

Scarpa Magics, 26.5. Lots of use/wear but still intact. Come with replacement buckle in case you break one. If no one wants 'em they're going to Goodwill.

You said it ivan. Good to see everybody though!
