why not get a double boot that climbs better than an AT boot? My scarpa invernos are super warm, and climb like a champ. I'd hate to do much climbing in my AT boots.

nice!

nice job anyway, way to bail at least.

Sweet. This is in direct conflict with what the ranger on the phone just told me. thanks for the link. MRNP's website is so easy to find stuff, I should have noticed it right away.

So, I'm hearing from the parks department and several snowmobile clubs that snowmobile traffic along 410 is very off-limits -- something like a $500 fine per person, as well as having your sled confiscated. Anybody heard of this? We saw several riders up and down the road on Sunday, including a pair who parked at the TH to board Burroughs.

haha, ah, this thread is more like it

Trip: Mt. Rainier National Park - Glacier Basin Date: 1/19/2009 Trip Report: Dan and I skiied up to Glacier Basin on Sunday, with a late start. No pictures, so if you want to see the views, you'll have to schlep yr own ass in there. 410 is gated at Crystal Mountain Blvd. -- it took us about 6 hours to ski the road to Glacier Basin trailhead, with lunch breaks, etc. Snow was pretty firm in Glacier Basin, except up high on South-facing slopes, where it was like spring corn. One remarkable thing was the apparent lack of recent avalanching. We skiied out Monday night. The road is hard and icy, but at least there are downed trees scattered randomly across the road. I tried to leap over one, but my right ski didn't clear it and went under the trunk. I was in tour-mode, and slammed face-first into the ground like a hinge. Total carnage. Gear Notes: bring mental entertainment. Approach Notes: long.

But at least the trail would be well-flagged afterwards.

just stick that shit in the microwave for a bit. that should kill everything.

And I thought he got killed in Return of the Jedi... A long, long, long time ago in a galaxy far away. Phh. Every star wars fan knows he didn't really die in Episode 6.

No offence, but I take offence to that image and have reported it to the mods as inappropriate/cruelty. We do NOT need to waste bandwidth with that. thanks and please remove it if you would. I am not joking.

Look what someone used to wake up to. man, freesoling like that over the bed? BADASS! I mean, if she fell, imagine the consequences! The bed spread might get mussed!!

The problem with Dru is he won't STOP thinking about the children

I believe in Canada, it's spelled "Oxytoquein" and the availability of cheap, synthetic sex hormones explains the vast numbers of French Canadians within the region.

porter dude, yr avatar looks like he's already eating a bag of dicks way to go

im surprised that the shipping companies don't invest in their own security. How hard could it be to repel boarders with a couple of deck-mounted heavy guns? Obviously, I'm not a sailor. I like girls too much.

Hey Dru, yr mom says "hi"

I was thinking more along the lines of a therapy to help rid people of oxytocin dependancy. What good did it ever do anyone, anyway? Besides, narcotics are cheaper. And probably cause less trouble.

Love?

holy smokes! Was that today?

OMG, HUGE WHIPPER!!!1

Interesting article about Avy control along I-90 I wonder how much these guys get paid?

You wished for a camera once, too. Man, I totally wish I literally had that on video.
