So, the whole story is. . .my friend and I got in a couple of good runs on not so great snow. But hey, we're on VACATION! so who cares. The flask (actually 2) came out and we ended up imbibing at the top for a good hour or so. Oh goodness, it was a sad scene. The lifts were closing as we made our way down absolutely sloshed and hounded by the ski patrol. The truth is I don't remember falling hard enough to hurt myself but it must have happened like Iain's picture. Thanks for the advice. I think I'll be fine with gentle use after a few weeks. It feels quite a bit better after a full day and a half of RICE and NSAIDS. I will report back for posterity.

I'm at Schweitzer right now on a skiing vacation with a friend and I can't ski because I hurt my knee. Sucks. I don't remember feeling this injury occur and I never even took a bad spill. But the night after our first day here the inside of my knee was painful to the touch. Any lateral movement caused pain and the knee just felt generaly unstable. Boo-hoo. I've been icing, wraping and trying to move it around a bit. It seems better but I still don't feel confident skiing yet. Anyone had a similar problem? What did you do to help the healing process? How long does it usually take to recover and can I expect long term issues now?

Ooops - just saw the TR from 1/22. Duh.

Anyone been up to Pan Dome falls lately? What kind of shape is it in?

Mid winter bump. . . Also looking for a down belay jacket.

Is there a good place to go that's roadside off I-90 to set up a TR? I have the Washington Ice Guide guide - but not in front of me right now. Trying to set up a trip for tomorrow. Thx for your input.

Is it easy to hike around and set up a TR on the Alpental flows?

Anybody been up to Alpental as of late?

Hey everyone. . .first post! I'm looking for a Large Arcteryx Beta AR in Yellow (Tequila). If anyone one has one that's in good to excellent shape pm or email me. Also, I'm looking for BD Aermet picks and Alaska picks if you want to part with them. I'm in Seattle, can swap or whatever.
