AC - We were in the audiance but hit the beer garden after. I got a cool hat - yipee! Fun conditions and with 4" of new at Stevens last night. Conditions should continue to be good.

Incredible skiing on Saturday, huh! We had some nice skiing on Jove/Union, but probably more suckage than you guys down lower. Did you guys hit the festhall for re:session by TGR?

Saw this climb on Sunday on my way up to Stevens - sure looked sweet from the road. Great pics and good to see Ben and you are getting out for some snice!

You could post in spray! Correct Porter? Complete with a few pics we can all add our own caption to.

"Kind of looks like that Marc guys avatar" Hmmm...must be in the eyes.

White Winds and Moments of Doubt are both good reads.

I never used these so, these Charlet Moser Black Ice Crampons are brand new just hanging in my attic gear room waiting for a home. Bail on front and adjustable heel lever. $60 to the lucky winner!!

Powder!! Great pics!

Thought it included the Ice Mistress?

Hey Porter, I heard thru the grapevine that the forest service, et all were happy with how clean and tidy you left the campground! Way to go all! I bet there are some great pictures - throw some up.

Did Sloan last weekend and it was great, though a wee bit cold in the morning!

Wish I could have attended this years event - heard the slideshows/presentations were fabulous. As it was I was freezing my butt off on Sloan this weekend.

Bump - prices dropped lower!

May want to check out: http://www.mountainguides.com/ouray.shtml, Jeff Ward is very good with lots of experience or http://mountainschool.com/ouray_ice_climbing.html with John and Olivia.

Matt P - true it is a site but not alot there and unsure who owns it: forest service or private as there are some checkboard pieces of land up there.

Jake, The guy you spoke with is a fair individual and should be a good guy to deal with. Also, the group sites are really the only spots I have found close to town and climbing that will accomidate that many folks. I know of someone with a farm but it is 10 miles out of town and then you are dealing with porta potties, etc. I would be happy to chat with the campground host prior to the event if needed. Not sure if I this would help in any way but the offer is out there. Teresa

Way to push the envelope! Yeah, approaching Sherpa that way works well. How was the descent off of Sherpa? Any route finding issues?

Rob, Looks like a wet day for a crit! Do you ride for a team? Looks like your getting ready for cyclocross season

Hope to be there soon after climbing up the Icicle!

Very sad.....the same doctor has been in trouble in the past for the same sort of treatments,especially back in the mid - late 80s. http://www.russiatoday.com/Sport/2009-08-24/gender-test-shemale-semenya.html

Oh, alas my heart yearns for those sweet ski turns! It's been almost two months since my last confess..uhh..turns in the fluffy snow on Mt. Rainier. Claim is one of the best!

My friend Justin and I had finished up with Prusik Peak and were descending the Pass when we saw the heli fly over. Though we weren't sure what was happening, figuared it was a rescue, our thoughts were with the climbing party involved. Glad to hear you got out okay and are on the mend Mark! See you out there again soon. Teresa
