Dibs on the shovel

Use one of the many avy pits you will be digging to access the avy conditions as you ascend to change from skis to pons. The packed snow in the bottom of the pit should allow you to change without sinking in.

Speaking of inversions...

Disclaimer: I hate it when people give advice on shit they dont really have the credentials to do so (the 5.8 trad leader dispensing advice on how to train for rock climbing )... I backcountry ski but I lack the credentials to start spitting advice on what is and isn't. Basically I'd say confirm with Dave: he is a way better skier... With that said it was my impression that the part of the north face that you could ski would be rather short... i.e. a lot of hiking for not a lot of skiing. But hey... it's the cascades: get with the MO right? I think the "plum" that is still waiting to be skied is the East Face couloir East Face coulior ascent: Justin and Darin East Face couloir descent attempt: round 1 East Face couloir descent attempt: round 2 Then again maybe the kids are already planning on skiing the NE face this year

Moosejaw screwed me a few years ago on their "we will match any one's advertised price" promise. Basically refused to match another shops sale price even though they advertise it all over their site that they do. Have never ordered from them again.

[twocents]Inversions are generally accompanied with very high freezing levels... generally higher than the summit of the local volcanoes... unless a thaw/freeze event (high freezing level followed by low freezing level) occurs prior to the inversion you should expect increased avy danger or at minimum some serious wallowing in unconsolidated snow... bring your favorite flotation device and a desire to wallow[/twocent]

I should add that for my job function I had to take some specific classes that dealt a little with dress among other things (customs, etc) for when I travel overseas. What was mentioned though wasnt specifically spelled out basically insured that unless one had tats on the hands/neck/etc that they would be covered as one is expected to dress formally. We are expected to adhere to those guidelines but I'm unaware of any specific repercussions.

Oh and I work with people that have full sleeves/etc

John do you think an employer should evaluate a prospective employee's tats when hiring? Depends on the job function you are hiring them for. Obviously anything that is visible would have to adhere to any HR guidelines for sexual or explicit material... but beyond that I dont think it should matter. I work for a rather large (understatement? ) global semiconductor company and we have no HR rules WRT visible tats beyond what I mentioned above... I'm asking as I'm unsure if I will work for them forever. My g/f has many many visible tats and is the CFO of one of the largest realty companies in PDX... she deals with many many external clients/banks/etc and her CEO could care less if her tats are showing/that she has them because she is really really good at what she does...

Not interested in people's stance on tats... just interested if your employer has an HR policy. thanks...

Happy Birthday tomorrow d00d!

Hey Off: how about the word "lucky" below her belly button? My girl has that one Semi related she also has stars and hearts on her fingers and gets them touched up ~5 years... she holds ink a little better (cuban) than white guys like us but as long as you dont have something that isnt too intricate, a good artist, and you get it touched up every few years you should be able to get something inked on.

Stay on topic please

bump More directed to those of you in the corporate world but any relevant input is appreciated... Does your company have an HR policy regarding tattoos? If so what is it? - 100% allowed? - Allowed if "tasteful"? - Must be covered at all times? - If it cannot be covered (i.e. hands, neck, etc) what is acceptable (i.e. tattooed wedding band) and what isn't ("STFU n00b" on the knuckles)? - Must be covered when dealing with clients? - You must have a tattoo to work for your company? - etc etc? *BONUS* If one of the responsibilities of your position is hiring (please note if this is an individual responsibility or shared decision) does your company and/or you have a stance on tattoos visible during the interview *or* after you extend the position and the suit and tie come off you find the applicant was covering tattoos on their forearms, etc etc TIA for good input

I prefer slut over ho but whatever... I wont deny it Do airline miles count towards the "driven" total If anything it should be bonus points for putting in the time behind the wheel to swing da toolz

Schmitz! You of all people should know what happens when I get on the sceptar! Or did you already forget what happened last year! :laf: Wayne Team Harro does xfit with me @ the lab so we already kinda compete during workouts... we are keeping track of days of ice climbing (must lead/follow at least one route that day for it to count) this year... its fun to do as a friend of mine who I wont name or I will get flamed for climbed 66 days of ice last year in addition to skiing roughly the same # so I like to keep track to see if I can at least climb 1/4 of what he does... he commented to me this year that he climbed 300 pitches (just pitches!) on the new cobras last year alone If we are keeping track of pitches then I'm @ 28 or so for the year And 2 minutes to load!?!? Sounds like either you are still using dial up or you need a new processor! Perhaps a new dual core processor! I hear Intel makes some really nice ones! If fact... maybe you should buy some Intel stock while you are getting a new computer with a new dual core processor!

No shit! You guys suck! I have 10 days of ice climbing and I live in PDX

Did you buy her calendar yet Rudy? ... 8D Someone once commented looking at her abs is like looking into the arc of the covenant :laf:
