Oh, I've talked to him in person. Yeah he is a polite guy, but I lack respect for some of his climbing tactics. He still climbs harder than I do though. I did try and get him a load of chips for the base of his new climbs till dumping in his driveway proved impossible. It's not my fault he had so many low power lines above his driveway.

It's a good skill to be able to spot people you dislike from a safe distance.

I got paid for my work! The self mutilation was a free bonus I threw into the package.

Miss November, here. My submission for the "damage" category(not from climbing, but I don't care): Yummy I don't recommend shaving with a chainsaw. It leaves stubble. Chainsaw huh. Excellent I've managed to wack myself in the arm and leg with a chainsaw a few times. It's an experience I recommend. Just remember the idea is to show it off not dig deep

was e-rock a star pupil? I don't remember e-rock but there was this one kid who was huge. I'd take him up the lift and he'd snow plow down the hill yelling, "I'm an awesome skier," at the top of his lungs. Nobody argued with him.

Eldora is a fun spot I used to instruct handicapped kids there when I wasn't out ripping it up. That place and A Basin were on my favorite list.

Right it's either how hot you look or what kind of cool damage you've suffered.

I agree the whole tele thing is overblown. You should ski on what you're comfortable with. My father started doing backcountry skiing in the 50s, and like most folks from the PNW he used the classic old AT setup with real seal skins. He never shopped for specific bc skis, cause they didn't make them. He had an old pair of Heads that had cable bindings that locked down for downhill mode. It wasn't till the 70s that tele skis came into vogue. There were a few books out claiming that it was a pure form of skiing. Well around here skis that locked down to downhill mode were the, "classic," mode of skiing. In college I got sucked into the idea that I was going to have to learn to Tele. I tried it out for a bit, and it was alright, but suddenly it came to me that all I really needed to do was bring my AT setup to school from home and use them instead of relearning skiing. I ended up skiing mostly with people on tele gear. They would make comments from time to time, but the bottom line was we all had a good time skiing. It wasn't till after I left school that you started to see people going back to AT skis. There are still plenty of tele folks with a superior attitude about their form of making turns. I figure you should ski on whatever makes you feel the most comfortable and ditch your attitude towards others unless it's clearly a joke. As Extremo would say Rip it up dude LOL.

Kev quit by his own will? We were taking bets on wich mod was going to pull the plug.

Can't say I know anything about this dude.

I've gotta take this year off, but next year watch out. Rip it up dude.

I question why Dru felt like he had to closely inspect each addition

How's that time out treating you Kev?

No doubt. Keep the door shut too. We don't want to hear the screams of pleasure.

She is, but she's not an active sprayer. BTW it's tanstaafl.

That doesn't look good. There is AT rules tele sucks

I'm not going to try and diagnose your issues with Arch. I have met her in real life and she is pretty cool. I have ignored users in the past, but in general I don't do that, possibly because I'm a moderator and I have to keep up on what all you freaks are doing (in case I have to ban you )

Well I would stop if my opponent had a gun and I didn't, but there are a lot of crazy people out there.

Hmm. Even when you have the gun if somebody charges you it's pretty likely that you may be scared.

My own recent experience with hospital stays is they suck. Hang in there Porter.

He might have been shooting for the chest and the dudes hand got in the way.

I think I sat through a lecture from either a cop or an FBI guy while I was in school. Somebody ask about shooting the criminal in the hand. The cop/FBI guy told us that that was never done. If you take aim at somebody you always aim for the center of the body. If they shoot somebody in the hand it's only by luck.

Can the party be in June

I know a thing or two about porkies in the bugs. We didn't have any protection the first time I was there. On our return we started to drive out of there till my truck started to spew water. Porky has chewed through a radiator hose on my rig. I walked to the lodge there where they were guiding heli hiking. One of the guides let us borrow his rig. I drove to Radium and bought some new radiator hoses. We thanked the guy and fixed our truck.
