  1. Hey all I left two ABC etriers at the bottom of punk rock, most likely under the Dirty Deeds climb. So yeah if you found/find them it'd be sweet to get them back and all.. There might be some more booty with them, haven't managed to figure out what yet. Give me a PM and i'll hook with a six pack or somthin.

  2. I was down there from 20 to the 24 and it was sick. I had never skied high sierra snow before, it blew my mind. I hit up sqaw, northstar, and donner peak. Stayed in bounds the whole time cause weather but would love to do some touring there next time I find myself down south. People who are living there this year must be having a time of their lifes.

  3. Ahhh, the Gotama's, good choice. I have talked to a lot of skiers this year that are thinking of mounting the Gotama’s with the freerides at the end of this season. What I have heard is that they have a lot of flex but not very noodley (torsionally stiff). This is only what I have heard, haven't riden on them. They have a squared up tail so they work well with skins and for the mondo switch outs. If your thinking about mounting in the middle you should ask yourself are you going to be riding rails? If yes then do it, if not why would you even want to? Only thing I can think of that would change if mounted in the middle would be the possibility of the tips diving when skinning up, could rhetorically become a problem, but doubtful with those phattys. If I had a choice of my dream AT set up this would be at the top.

  4. I'v got a pair of 188 length Volkl P40 skis with Marker Comp 1400 Bindings. The Skis and binding have been pampered, not a scratch on the bases. I raced on them for 2 years and this season they have just sat. These would be a great ski for a strong intermediate to advanced skier who wants to cruise through crud, carve on groomers and hit some pow pow every once and while. Asking 250. I can send pic's if your interested.

  5. I have the muvo micro n200 512mb mp3 player and really like it. Easy to use and comes with a arm strap, belt clip, and head phones. I didn't think the recording feature was going to come into use but i used it today to record a girl's number while on the lift, skiing at mt. baker. That alone made it a great buy. grin.gif

  6. Got mine stolen too, from outside fairhaven dorms. They cut the lock. yellow GT frame, stiff black front fork. Pretty old crappy bike but my only means of transportation. I feel your pain. Isn't much you can do about it...besides get a real beater to ride around and hide the mountain bike in the closet.

  7. I appreciate the concerns about the tree’s health and advice to seek more information on climbing trees in “proper” fashion. I understand that the affects of drilling holes into a tree can open its vulnerability to infections and outside parasites. Also I have climbed numerous large Douglas firs using techniques with girth hitches, lanyards, and cross bows, all ways with minimal to no damage. And if climbing a tree multiply times leaving a wire cable looped around the tree in the canopy and run the rope though that to keep from cause rope burn when pulling the rope out of the tree. When we climbed that tree and inflicted that damage we believed that it would be able to recover with no harm based on its already healthy conditions and its undisturbed location from human influences. We were just getting outside and checking things out from a different perspective by no means are we bragging or showing the best way to do things. I think that this line of ethics could very well be argued from either side just depending on the perspective that you look at this from.
