We didnt see any tents in white river canyon while we were skiing it.

Listen to teleross. I have the champ pants and those, along with a driclime windshirt, are my fav pieces of outdoor attire.

I tried it in the store--it was way too difficult to get the air out of it to make it a reasonable compression sack. I was looking for a replacement for my Lowe Summit Attack pack and this wasn't fitting that role. The Marmot one works well but its not very durable.

its called 'desegregation'

You don't "need" JROTC to have an all-volunteer army. Dismantling the JROTC program will not hamstring recruiting abilities. As a matter of fact, I recall seeing in the paper that the military had actually exceeded its 2006 recruiting goals. I do agree that dismantling this program is BS.

The news reports indicate it was glacial blow-out that caused the white river slide. Recent snowfall has camouflaged any damage up high.

Look at the title of the forum you are posting in nimrod. "Giving"? Nice work Timay--shred and I were hitting the Tline goodness on Sunday. Looks like your weather was better. Keep the reports coming.

By ski area are you asking about meadows or cooper spur? As I understand it, you can't get to meadows but you can get to the spur if you take some backroads.

I'll give you $70 for the pants.

The TJ hut is maybe 500 yards from the parking area. I doubt this distance will be significant enough to mean two days versus one. YMMV

When the cloud cap road is closed you can access the north face via the tilly jane trail. Its about 3 miles to the hut and then another mile or so to timberline from there. The hut can be used as a bivvy shelter but its not very pleasant and might be pretty crowded with 3 people. A tent would be way more comfy. The hut is also not a terribly convenient spot for access to the NF routes as you would have to drop down onto the Eliot glacier and access can be problematic. Most people use the hut for Cooper Spur access. Good luck.

If you can pro-deal it why don't you just get a couple different jackets, keep the one that works and sell the others?

Make mine a double.

You read more into my post than was there. Like I said, I was just pointing out that it had been done.

I guess Fairweather is not the only person you grace with your narcissistic condescension. You'll note I did not say I agreed with the findings/conclusions of the commission. I merely pointed out that they already had one.

Already been done. A bi-partisan commission headed by Silberman. You're kidding, right? Nope

Like the war in Iraq?

Already been done. A bi-partisan commission headed by Silberman. What needs to be done is focus energy on getting Iraq stable and getting our soldiers out of that shithole and then leave the middle east alone. We can start pointing fingers later. I believe part of the reason Iraq is such a quagmire now is the administration has been focused more on PR rather than results.

you see Lamebone, Kevbone filled in for you quite nicely in your absence. come on Bill, there's only enough room in this town for one bone. yep and lambone was around way before you And a helluva lot more entertaining. Welcome back, Bone!

I bet they were glad they weren't stuck behind YOU. I'm not trying to spray on your accomplishment here, but to talk smack about someone else when it took you EIGHT HOURS to do three-fingered jack just stinks of hypocrisy.
