That would be one for Jon and Tim to answer, since it's still in my profile. Where IS my @#$@#@!@#$ beckey???!!??

Poutine is a culinary delicacy exported from Quebec, consisting of french fries topped with cheese curds and gravy. Or you can get it "Au Michigan", and that's with a tomato meet sauce instead of gravy. Usually the first half of your plate is delicious, then the last half becomes revolting.

A thinly veiled personal attack on me I see. I was simply correcting misinformation. What I said was true: the incident happened Sunday. And, the avi danger was worse Monday than Sunday (based on both the avi forecast, and common sense). That said, I agree the avi danger was bad Sunday. I was at Baker, and we basically bailed on doing any skiing because of it. 2 feet of consolidated snow on ice crust. I skied up to this (safe) 15 foot convex roll and said "Let's see if I can make this slide". I made one gentle hop, and *crack*, and the slope fractured down to the ice crust and slid off.

I learned of this accident yesterday morning, so I think it happened Sunday (when the avalanche danger was not quite so high), not Monday as the avi report stated.

Because they spent the money they were going to use on a second hut, on a wheelchair accessible bathroom instead.

Looks like the closure only goes into effect July 15th though....

Ok, I guess Dru doesn't know what he's talking about, eh? If you use { characters it will work, I promise... [ 02-28-2002: Message edited by: philfort ]

I agree, it would be rude; I wouldn't do it. Good to keep it peaceful.

Can you take your own snowmachine up there, or is it private property, or private parking, or something? And if you can, can you continue further (past the huts) towards the good skiing/climbing, or is that wilderness, or would that just be plain uncool 'cause it's a nice peaceful area?

It would be cool if they had an uphill/downhill race, like they do with some telemark races. Telemark racing per se, where you're just going through gates, seems a little silly to me. 'cause downhill gear is so much better for that. I once volunteered for a race on the telemark circuit, where we had to stand at gates to make sure the racers were in proper telemark position at each turn. A little contrived.

You actually had good skiing there this wknd? I was at Jim Hill mtn on Sunday, which is pretty close-by. The snow was wet'n'sloppy to at least 6000ft.

Did you see him in action, or did he just tell you that, and you believed it?

Or getting ready to have an MRI... (e.g. "please remove all watches, metal jewelery," etc...)
