Another great one

Hey! the US and Canada have something in common now!

Sounds like someone's favorite crappy thrash band just broke up.. or is it that time of the month again?

A&L Bargain Store in Vancouver has cases of 12 power Bars for $2... or about $.17 each.

D) Skull and Bones cronies

i can't even use the whole playing area cause if i scroll down, it starts! 30.28 but I'm claiming fraud.

I heard someone else lost a pair of snowshoes that day.

Anyone on here done any two of: St. Helens, Hood, Adams in a day?

Volunteer with SCA! Last september I was camped in Pelton Basin during the first huge storm in weeks, and there were some SCA "wilderness enthusiasts" standing out in the downpour measuring clumps of moss and sticks and snaffle tails , etc near my tent. I cracked up so hard listening to the inane things they were making notes of that I think I spilled my lunch all over a therm-a-rest.

I need to get hooked up with a Hatori Hanzo axe.

Fairweather: Lefties may not reproduce, but over the march of time for the last 225 years our nation has become and is becoming more and more liberal on a society-wide basis. Nervous?

Just Go

they also filmed a Lassie movie with Elizabeth Taylor in Stehekin and Lake Chelan.

is that Cache Col in the foreground? I'd go with #2, it looks more fresh and crisp.

Climb: St. Helens - Weirdness continues 4/25-Worm Flows Date of Climb: 4/25/2004 Trip Report: Hiked St. Helens, skied down in the slush. It was very warm, and super crowded. There were mobs of folks everywhere, including some oddballs. There were reports of a naked telemarker skiing from the summit, and some middle aged ladies who dropped-trou to take a leak amidst the mob of 30+ people on the summit. We should have summited and decended earlier to hit better snow. Gear Notes: alpine skis for coming down. Crampons, axe, and snowshoes were left in the car,and it was the right decision. Approach Notes: good bootpack up, got real slushy by 12:00

I think he moved to Biafra

Right now on channel 14 in the PDX area they are showing some sweet Free Skiing videos from whistler, good music too. I've seen this show a couple times on here before, it's worth a watch.

I'm going to be hiking St. helens on Sunday, and skiing down (friend snowboarding). I've never been there before, and was wondering if there is anything special I should know. I'm familiar with the permit system and all that, but are crampons and an axe necessary? Any other approach/route/ski down notes? I'm thinking 5 hrs for the boot up, does this seem reasonable for some in-shape guys? Maybe it'll be so crowded that I can just follow the pack... Thanks a lot!!

Are these like Ski-blades?

Great pic! Which direction is which? (could the high point at left be Bonanza?)

You should have just sat on his wheel for the rest of his ride! (possible snot rocket opportunity if you could drop him at some point.)

I get a big kick out of the whole thing. "Mountain confessionals" come on! This good stuff, definitely spray-worthy.

I see you're checking out your ski trip terrain josh. Lowell Skoog did a series of pics along the PT that showed the 1950s era glaciers juxtaposed with the current sizes of today. Maybe someone has a link.

Any number of unnamed and often un-mapped little alpine lakes that are on no trail, and see more bears than people each year.
