Get your final nominations in today we will start voting tomorrow.

Thanks for the heads up we are looking into it today.

Hey Ivan, please put this in a new TR if you can as people do look by date for conditions. We also will be doing some changes to the TR system where it's better for TRs to be separate.

It's official. After ten years we have our first dedicated server to go along with our two virtual private servers. What shall we call her?

Please no Hans.

Once upon a time, probably after several beers, we choose those names depending on your post count. If enough people wanted to suggest and vote for new names we can certainly change them.

Hi Everyone, Just a reminder that this contest is still running. We will be accepting entries until Monday. A reminder that this is for the best TR, not the best ascent. Please take the writing into consideration. If you've felt you've written some great TRs get one of your buddies to nominate you for a $500 PMS gift certificate or the runner up prizes. Links are above for nominations.

Ok folks we are back up. We will have a list of new features posted tomorrow. Please let us know if you run into any issues.

15 minutes until we shut down for maintenance.

We have another maintenance window tonight tentatively scheduled for 10pm. During this time you should be able to read the board but not post.

Ok things are back up.

I will be doing some maintenance on the forum starting at 11:30 at which point the board will be unavailable. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Are you looking for a bomber tech binding? Check out Sky Sjue's review of the Plum Guide Backcountry Binding .

Ok the Plum Guide Review is up. http://cascadeclimbers.com/blog/2011/04/19/plum-guide-backcountry-ski-binding-review-by-sky-sjue/

Both Sky and I own them. I'll have the article up in a few hours.

Sky is posting a review of the TLT5 Performance here shortly but the feedback I've heard from him has been really positive. We are also putting up a review of the Plum Guide binding tomorrow. I've had a few days of hard skiing on the Plum, and while I'm new to tech setups I can tell you it is a bomber binding.

Good thing he didn't donate his money to Wall Street!

http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/1000000 Congrats to Tvash for the 1 millionth post (this includes all deleted posts etc so it's not the "real" 1 mil post). Since it's in spray you don't win anything.

The Dean Karnazes Diet

Hey everyone. We've decided to go ahead and make a change to the prizes for this contest. This is not a bait and switch. Well it is, but we've switched it with bait. The AAI prize will move to the photo contest. Remember our last photo contest?

We've changed the top prize for this contest to be more appropriate. http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/1012922#Post1012922

A little update on this contest. We are making a change here that we would not normally do. AAI has offered up an incredible prize that we are finding not appropriate for this contest. So we are taking that prize and saving it for the photo contest. We are replacing that prize with a $500 gift certificate to Pro Mountain Sports. We are also removing the 5th place prize. You want a $500 gift certificate to Pro Mountain Sports? Tell you friends to nominate your TR in this thread. Hell, have a great TR you just want people to know about? Post it here!

Rad, we really appreciate your comments on this. We were really excited about the March contest. We wanted to try out the best TR off all time contest. We wanted to reward people for past contributions here, not create an atmosphere to discourage people who have less exciting TRs. We are going to talk this over and figure out how to proceed. We really value everyones feedback on this.

Come on peeps we all know you are in your office sulking over this weak weather. Put your vote in! This is a democracy and we won't be shutting down on Friday!
