    depends on the rap, or on the country Blue scholars -- OK lil' wayne -- Not OK Merle Haggard -- OK Billy Ray Cyrus -- Not OK
  3. Hey, way to go, Dan! Great to see you getting out. I still remember our aborted trip out there (last year?) -- at least it wasn't raining this time, eh? Sounds like you guys had a great trip.
  4. holy smokes! Did I go at the right time, or what??
  5. Nope, no sign of it. Crazy!
  6. Is this thing on? 15th? Can I bring girls, or is this a sheep-only event?
  7. Man, that's some strong work. Sounds like conditions are pretty good -- I was on the north face in october and it sucked -- bushy, no water, short days, etc. can't wait to see the pics
  8. Nothin but love, man. Have you picked up any hot mormon girls yet?
  9. Nice work. I'll bet that 6-pack tasted delicious!
  10. Nice work Sounds like you needed a set for that crux
  11. I bet you'd have good views of fireworks around everett from Pilchuck. But, I bet it would be an interesting perspective, looking down on them.
  12. aren't these your iceberg photographs? Do I win something?
  13. Trip: Mt Adams - South Spur Ski Date: 7/11/2008 Trip Report: This was my first volcano ski, so I kind of made a big deal about it. Thursday night, I had a serious ski jones going on. So, at about 11 PM I decided to head out to Mt. Adams by myself and try to ski down. Carpe diem, right? I went to sleep for about an hour, woke up around midnight, packed my bags, got gas, snacks and (lots) of coffee, and drove through the night, arriving at Mt. Adams around 6 AM or so. I was out of the car and moving by 7. Great views the whole day! Perfect weather; blue-bird skies and not a breath of wind. Here’s Mt. St. Helens in the distance. And Mt. Hood I was able to start skinning pretty soon, probably around 6200' or so. Finally! I reached the summit around noon. I was feeling a bit altitude sick, so I didn't hang around long. Self-portrait on the summit with Rainier behind me. Finally, time to ski! Rainier from the summit I found the skiing down from the summit to be extremely challenging. As a recovering snowboarder, I'm not the world's best skier. The snow was very suncupped and iced, and my tips kept getting eaten by the cups. Making it down this was quite an acheivement for me. The photo doesn't do it justice. It was like skiing down a forest of rime daggers. But maybe I'm making a bigger deal out of it because I suck. There was a short carryover above Pikers. Coming down from the false summit, the snow was choppy and cupped, but at least it was soft so my skis could plow through. The snow below pikers was fucking rad! I lapped a couple of sections that were too perfect to not get seconds. Snow coverage on Pikers Ski tracks. What?? You mean I wasn't the first? Coverage on the lower part of the mountain On the way out, I ituned the deproach and ended up following some idiots boot pack deep into the forest. I realized he was wrong when his tracks led into a bummer of a schwack down some shitty drainage. Even worse, it was on the (east?) side of the trail, so if you didn't cut west eventually, you'd just keep wandering around in the woods without hitting the road or trail. I wonder how he ended up? From the looks of it, a lot of people followed him into the dark, so at least he has company. I wasn't interested, so I retraced my steps back up and got on the trail. I pulled over on the freeway to sleep for a few hours before heading home. Approach Notes: Snow is pretty continous around 6000, give or take a few hundred feet or so.
