My friends dog used to step on the back of my skis at the most inopportune moments. I'm already so suck at skiing. My buddy had to have his malamute hauled out by sled attached to a snowmobile once cause the lazy bastard got tired. Some friends and I once rented a cabin that required a 7 mile ski to get to. We took turns pulling a sled with extra food and shit on it whining the whole time. Next day a friend shows up with his husky. That dog made it look like butter.

I miss the Mtngoat as well.

I used to take my golden retriever with me once in a while, depending on the conditions. Can't anymore as he is old and arthritic. My red heeler loves to come along and I bring him but always ask my partners if its ok first. My rule of thumb is if its deep powder I leave him at home. If conditions are pretty packed down or its shallow snow I'll bring him. I always bring along some duct tape in case his paws get injured. I was skinning up the tilly jane trail once following a blood trail that got progressively bigger. Finally three woman appeared with a couple of dogs in deep powder. The yellow lab was bleeding pretty bad where the webbing between his toes had split. They were on their way back down. I never take my dog on groomed xcountry trails.

DD?

I've placed it. I've always been skeptical about its ability to hold anything and in no hurry to test it in.

In addition to Cavey's initial suggestion I add a spectre to a winter alpine rack.

VS=victoria's secret. Most men would rather see their wives in sexy lingerie as opposed to a marmot dryclime shirt. Schoeller must really fire the ol' turbines eh?

Do I understand this correctly: you got a pair of custom made pants in about a week?

I am not going to sleep well tonight.

I won't participate as its been described. Sounds like insurance-related research.

Too busy puffin' the cheeba in the bathouses?

Your opinion, Cpt. FWIW, I don't hate Bush or idolize the Clinton years. Plenty of military folks were fucked by Reagan and crew (I was one of them) as well as both Bushes. Whats your point? Why do so many make the assumption that if you hate Bush you must love Clinton? They're both wanks.

Sounds like another newby woman rejected Trasks pm'ed advances.

Exactly. Don't flatter yourself catbird. I don't place that much value on your opinions.

You couldn't be more wrong.

Took a 100 foot slider down the eliot glacier ripping one of my partners off his feet and was stopped by a single screw. No damage to screw; few cracked ribs on me. Fell about 20 feet on a screw on a short ice pitch at Ski Bowl. No damage to screw; minor rope burn on finger. Never had one pull but have placed them where I wasn't too confident they'd hold. But haven't we all?

I was about 8 at the time and a long ways from knowing anything about climbing. In my ignorance I missed out on the beauty of Prescott.

I lived for about a year in Prescott in the 70's. God I hated that place. I was a little kid though and longed for the verdant forests of the NW. I'm friends with Tom Jones, a.k.a. Jrat. Super great guy. And I'm also friends with one of the best brewers the NW has known but I bet he denies it. If I can ever hold my hand steady enough to take a picture I may have photographic proof but that Terminal Gravity stuff is like liquid psylocibin.

What's green and smells like pork?

Sounds like a real sausage fest is brewing up at Roger's pad. Shaggadelic.

Weird Science.

This is not entirely correct. The Bibler I have has a pocket for the poles on the sides as well as reinforced corners. If you miss the reinforced corners where the poles place then yeah you can punch a hole into the floor--which I did once and which Bibler (i.e. Black Diamond) repaired, seam-sealed and returned to me within 24 hours.

The bombshelter sleeps 4 but it would be pretty tight. Three of us used it comfortably. Two guys are roomy and there is plenty of space for gear. Two vestibules as well. Asking $500 for it.
