The puking actually didn't occur until 4 or so. The drinking started at 1. Lightweights!

Trip: Washington Pass - Date: 5/10/2008 Trip Report: Went skiing at Washington Pass on Saturday and Sunday. It was fun. Highlights of the trip include: Counterfeitfake showing the fine folks of Winthrop why drinking Jim Beam at 1 in the afternoon is a bad idea. Fenderfour demonstrating the proper technique to become a lead instructor with the Boealps.

If someone wants to crop the powerline out, that would be cool.

Drove out there last night and took the dog for a walk. There's about 6-7 feet of snow at Olney Pass. Could be a while unless you want to walk from there. Olney Pass with the road to Static buried. Road to Static in the background. Looking across the lake at the south facing slopes.

There's a place just to the east of the park called Antelope Flats that has legit free camping.

or use a piece of webbing to make a "handle" by taping duct tape around the bottle.

The forecast looks pretty crappy. Should've been there last weekend.

In addition to the other stuff she carries, although seeing a chihauhau carrying two PBR's would be sweet.

Two tall boy PBR's fit nicely in my dog's pack. One per side keeps the load nice and even.

Nope, there is probably about 1,000 other people heading to the RRR. That's why I'm heading to Moab instead.

I understood the concept of the air blast. I was just trying to see if there was anything in the photos that indicated air blast over damage from the avalanche itself.

I was wondering what your basis was for thinking this.

The main road to black velvet is closed (intermittently or entirely) while they construct the new parking lot. They are rerouting people to black velvet on a 2x4 road, which sounds like it could be a little sketchy in a rental. This is the same road that goes out to Windy Canyon.

Were you going back to Windy Canyon on that road? As far as I can recall the Black Velvet road was open at that time.

You should probably stick to the lower town wall. That's where all the good climbing is anyways.

Fenderfour and I were over gardening in the Private Idaho area. Senior Citizens in Space, Magic Fern, and Wet Dream got excavated. Wet Dream was still seeping and I'm not sure how often it dries out, but it looks like fun if it does. The first pitch of Magic Fern is super clean now. Battered Sandwich looked pretty clean still, so we didn't mess with it.

It's across from Dark Shadows to the west of the brass wall. American Ninja is another really cool climb over there.

Here's a copy of the map. http://www.mountainproject.com/images/8/32/106080832_large_653707.jpg

So how bad is the rerouted approach to Black Velvet? I'm headed there in a month and was wondering what kind of car I'll need to get back there.

Looking for a copy of the Indian Creek guide book. I need it before the end of March.

and that's a bad thing? http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1308/1034329867_bbadb80699.jpg

I thought she was taking a header in that 3rd picture. Blodgett is a pretty rad place. Nice work.
