Yeah I was thinking Omak or Tenaskit(Sp?) I don't know what you'd do for work. It's not the economic hub of WA, but it is a nice place. Maybe you don't need much though.

Ok Petey, just how is it you came up with that link?

I know where your coming from. I've had to deal with Chinese liaison officers. Once you've signed up for the deal they expect you to go for the full package. It doesn't matter how stupid it is you don't have a choice. In the end you'll have your kid though.

Not only that he'll be reading mine next.

Don't jinx them Eric. They can still live up to the title of Seaturkey.

Well BG has a lot of money, so it's no wonder he votes republican.

There are good spells during the winter when you can do some rad shit however the weather is not very predictable, so you need to either be a local or spend the winter in the PNW. Thannksgiving weekend is a tough one. I'm sure you can climb something, but I wouldn't fly out from the east coast with big plans.

Isn't it tomorrow night?

There is no physical way that 8th Ave NE is in Bellevue. Now NE 8th St. is one of the main drags in Bellevue. Honestly, you all call yourself climbers yet everybody seems so directionally challenged when it comes to driving around urban areas. Sorry I had to get that off my chest. If this is really going to happen I may drive over.

Why would you? It was obvious when you said that you were flying in. You were just assuming a third grade level of reading comprehension. Thanksgiving is pretty notorious for shitty weaather, but good luck, and have fun. Maybe he's flying from Vancouver to Wenatchee. Did you ever think about that huh??? BTW OCD is one of the myriad of problems you suffer from.

I know your bitter because your bindings keep breaking, but try not to take it out on others.

I tele skied for one season, but I was in college and I was going through an experimental phase. I eventually figured why reinvent the wheel. I could already ski, so next season I had my AT gear with me, and I never looked back.

I'm interested in how Vancouver set up their sky train. They started years ago, and they keep adding on to it. Vancouver is similar to Seattle in many respects yet they can make their elevated transport system work whereas we can't. Do they get lots of federal dollars or is it all local taxes?

How about these chearleaders. Link

That's a misquote from the Times years ago.

I like the above idea of renting a couple different set ups before you commit to buying. I also agree that good boots are the shiznitz. I've found that the heat to fit liners are worth the extra money(if your boots don't come with them) Also I'd agree with Ian. You've gotta decide just what kind of bc skier you are. At first spending a lot of time on the lifts is a good thing, but eventually you may want to bc ski most of the time. If you want spend most of your time mogul bashing and jumping then go for the beefier bindings, however if you're not doing that don't be put off by the lightweight bindings (dynafit) they're a lot burlier than they look. I dismissed them for years as being too fragile, but you can do most anything you want in them, and they are super light.

This is a better spot for this thread. I don't recall the name, but I'll ask him when he's back from vacation.

Except ski patrollers, and avy techs, and guides, and well, a few other people I can think of... if you call that work. I always used heavy rubber or nylon for real work. Most outdoor work involves getting dirty and exposure to gas and oil. Tex wont stand up to that kind of treatment. I've always wanted to try whatever that raingear that's canvas impregnated with wax. Cotton is the fabric of the future after all.

Wow Kurt, what a burn! You're showing the thought and debating skills that propelled you from the back of the short bus, all the way to the Captaincy of the Fircrest School Debate Squad! I bet Rolf is crying, you got him so bad. I didn't know I was being graded. I could see you running a business that is until you found out you actually had to do something instead of talking all day on your cell phone. You might want to stock up on helmets. There's lots of frustrating things that happen when you run the show which you'll deal with by flinging you helmet off the building your working on and throwing a temper tantrum...just like big4

Right
