  1. www.fs.fed.us has been down for a few days now. Anyone know when the Chiwawa River Rd. typically opens?
  2. Has anyone heard about this ? ? ? There's some references in this TAY thread about someone taking a 100 footer near the Turtle yesterday but I can't find anything online yet.
  3. Can't resist the bump or the I'm at something like 90
  4. Granted I'm a patroller so it's not fair but I'm at 70 of the last 75 days, obviously 90% inbounds.
  5. Call Feathered Friends. They have a good guide book selection. So does 2nd Ascent.
  6. For sure the it's popularity is due to peoples' sense of fashion and pataguc's branding but if you use something like this combined with a good base layer, a windshirt and waterproof layer (marmot precip) you've got a system for all except the coldest conditions. When it gets real cold just add a belay jacket or down parka. My system is pretty much just like this but I am not a fan of softshell jackets at all. They're way too heavy and way too prone to soaking through in rain and wet snow. Even the term sofshell is BS they should be called hardfleece because they offer no performance improvement over a fleece jacket with a windstopper membrane. Schoeller is great for pants but sux for the upper body IMO. Talking about fashion statements; how many poseurs are running around Seattle in their $300 softshells.
  7. There is no such thing as tornados... Chuck Norris hates trailer parks.
  8. You're right! No one ever makes ski turns and fails to post about it on cc.com.
  9. Oh I see because you live Banff/Lake Louise you have your "finger on the pulse" of a corporation based in Calgary. That = idiocy. I gurantee you that their decision is based on limitting their liability and not based on lack of will to spend money building jumps. They said as much in their press release where they also said they're spending more than anyone ever on building other features. If you move to Golden and ski at K-horse you won't need a park foo.
  10. ... um 7829? Try 7819 + 30025 = 37,844
  11. For sure I think it's total bullshit too, I'm just saying that it's what you can expect after a huge settlement against a ski area. No ski area is going to want to face that kind of legal exposure.
  12. You are an idiot. $14 million is a "bullshit excuse"? Linky
  13. And don't even think about posting your eBay links for your fart-jars.
  14. "All subects who used the Jenkem disliked the taste of sewage in their mouth and the fact that the taste lasted for several days."
  15. The Hawks don't wear white at home.
  16. you thought this was used for upward progression shit they finally fixed their website
  17. You guys aren't skiers are you. It's a mislabelled picture.
  18. We had 'em building a hive in our woody. They were IRATE whenever we'd climb. Tried to live in peace but too many people got stung so we killed. Oh and
  19. IMO best snow in NA is usually in the Monashees
  20. Use two of them at the first turnaround in your pulley system w/ a garda hitch for a lightweight self-tending system.
