Yo LADIES!!! Women especially should be thinking about coming to this event because so far there have barely been any!! Last year there was only 1 woman in the rec. or "citizen's" division at Alpental!! (which means you could have come in last and won big $$ and prizes) and this year at alpental there were only 6. The racing division had 6 women last year, only 3 this year! And the last two showed up 45 minutes late! Ladies, the gear and $$ awaits. cheers, dalius

http://www.life-link.com/race.htm For those that don't know, the "Randonee Rally" is happening at Stevens Pass this Sunday. I know what you're saying: Backcountry ski race?@!? What the@!? Check out Life-Link's website. They have all the info. The reason I'm posting is because it seems that less people know about it this year and I've seen no talk about it here yet. It's a good cause (a lot of the money goes to support the NW Avy Center) and it's one of the only ways you'll ever get a bunch of solitary backcountry skiiers together. Oh, and afterwards there's all the FREE BEER you can drink and a raffle in which just about every single person walks away with FREE GEAR!! Make note, you need not be a serious racer to go. There's a Racer's Course which requires a serious set of lungs and limbs to compete, and a recreational course for the rest of us that just want to have some fun. Winners of both divisions receive $$, skis, etc. Hope to see you there. Dalius

This whole 9-5 work world is stealing all of my midweek climbers partners! I'm interested in getting out to Index tomorrow to crank on some granite. As far as index goes, I'm starting to lead in the low tens. I've got the gear, I just need a partner. Who's interested? Also, I'm trying to learn how to aid climb so if you want to go aid some lines at Index as well, let me know. Cheers, Dalius daliusg@yahoo.com

Tasty Bites and cous cous. Tasty Bites are pre-cooked packed-in-foil-pouches Indian dinners. All you have to do is heat them up in boiling water, then take it out and use that water for cous cous. Voila! ***** 5 star indian dinner, even better than eating at home. The indian packets do wheigh a lot, but it is 100% worth it.

The mountaineers are hosting the "Best of Banff Mountain Film Fest." over the next three evenings: Wed - Fri. It seems that I was a little late in getting tickets to the Friday show (damn!). If you have, or know anybody that has any extras, could you please let me know? It seems that I'm always a little late in getting these tix. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks a bunch, Dalius
