measuring hips with hands in the pockets must produce a nice roomy fit! I could go for that.

I've been noticing recently Timberline is heavily advertising "no camping" in their lot. For those of us who have used the lot over the years as a convenient launching pad for ski mountaineering early morning missions, this is troubling if enforced. Does anyone have any more info? Why so serious, Timberline?

Solid one day effort! Good thing you knocked this out before the smoke rolled in a few days later.

wow. worth a read!

There will be people from all over the world at the Glen Nevis hostel to link up with, at least for the hike up Ben Nevis. Of course, you don't have the benefit of stalking them on cc.com to look at their palmares before hand.

nice report and well-documented. Are bigger pics available somewhere?

A buddy did Lassen last Wednesday (June 8, 2016) and it looked like pretty good skiing. I saw pics and there was plenty of snow. the park is pretty cool, too - has geothermal features and is way out the middle of nowhere. Looked like a reasonable solo. Plus what all these other guys said.

enjoyed the pics; good work on the 4 lbs lens

I know :-)

God forbid you use the wrong nomenclature. It makes you a thief - Tyson G.

[video:youtube]6Qnnxx-uHG4 That was pretty funny. We're petitioning the government for change, though, so indeed we have to appeal its punitive nature. A one-way gate won't cut it. It's gotta be spike strips or else something worse, like Predator drones silently patrolling Paradise Access road, Hellfire bombs armed and ready to customize the bodywork on your stoner Subaru.

Install one of these puppies so folks can get out after hours. Problem solved.

i get 20% off wholesale at all times from patagonia, 10% off wholesale from BD, twice a year BD runs a shop employee special at 20-30% off wholesale, i've even seen companies do %40 off wholesale for limited times. i am not truly deserving, just work in a ski shop. For purposes of your post, what is wholesale compared to retail? 50%?

you've made an amazing geologic discovery!

Yep, I have. I could get on this bandwagon.

Just kidding. It was interesting, I'll say that. Made me curious to learn more about slot canyons and find out just how rare they are. I kind of assumed that slot canyons and waterfalls were ... things ... that exist. But apparently not in such configuration? Anyway, What kind of rock was that thing in? It looks more like some kind of fault block that had tipped up rather than limestone or sandstone that had worn away. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slot_canyon

Prepare for the end! ... of high prices. I hope this thread was a guerilla marketing campaign for OPB, because Explorer accomplished nothing else in coming here.
