where?? what?

looks good, i was on south sunday morning at sunrise and could just start to see the fires. then all the people showed up by the end of the day both of my girlfriends feet looked like that

whats the route like up the north side?

anyone heard of any troubles getting to south sister??

anyone know of a shop in town that has and ev2?? i would love to see one set up before i make that jump. i havent been able to find one in pdx and i checked a few places in seattle last time i was there, but no luck

i love those things

He must not know how to ride his machine very well. you must not know how to pull your head out of your ass

thanks guys, just looking for a new place to play.

anyone know anything?? im new to the area and dont know if this road is open all year or if its snowed in till june??

is the road to tilly jane camp open? im new to the area and dont know what kind of road it is. also anyone been up cooper spur lately? what are the conditions like. planing on going up early sunday morning.

i've got a helium. at 1lb 6 oz and a 30 degree temp rating i think its pretty ture to the rating. i have taken it down to about 23ish, and stayed fairly warm. i think the higher quality the more true the temp rating is. the new rei kilo plus and sub kilo have a higher quality down than they ever have. plus with the new pertex shell they dont look all that bad, i have an older sub kilo and its ok. prolly not up to its rating, but not bad for $220. the new one looks to be a little better.

the skyledge is super small. im 6 foot and i cant lay out without my feet and head pusing the walls into the fly. it looks cool but i was bummed to see how small it is

i got to play with one when the rep was in last time. let me just say the pack is fawking sweet! all welded design, roll top closure, and a hip belt that pivots. i cant wait to get my hands on one. but....... they arent going to be avaliable until mid april. and there will be no deals for those of us that work in a gear shop. they are a little heavy, but with their gear i think its worth the extra weight!!

i just saw that he was going to be in portland in april. what the fuck has this world come to

no one here has gotten their paws on a new hardwear pack?? not even your uncles brothers neighbors grilfriends dad who worked at a gear shop in iowa back in the 70's??

anyone had any experience with the new mountain hardwear packs?? specificaly the trance? i know they just came out i was wondering if anyone had gotten ahold of one early. i checked them out at the outdoor store and they look solid, just looking for some firsthand info. thanks

i love my trango's!! very light

the extreme cold or if you were going to run diesel or keroseen would be the only reason i would replace it. i lost the one in my dragonfly years ago and havent missed it. even at -25f i didnt really miss it. i would have made it prime faster. you can buy a msr repair kit for your xgk and there will be a new wick in the kit. or like someone else said, get creative and use something else.

yup he called, im off tomorrow. gotta love construction. slow in the winter and fuckin busy in the summer! now where am i gonna go??

excellent show!

if i can get my boss to call me back and tell me i dont have to work im going

a friend of mine tried to get up the south side last weekend and said that the snow was so deep that his sled couldnt make it very far before it sank so deep it ran out of air.

the arcteryx epsilon is a bonded poly softshell. it works great. otherwise i have always liked power shield
