making out with butch no doubt

I just got back from a trip up the South Side, and we skied down the upper White River and traversed in down near Silcox. Below that, it looked pretty grim. I'm sure you could pick a way through, but it was looking super dirty with pretty poor coverage. I would suggest skiing the upper, traversing out and then dropping in closer to Timberline for the ski down, or drop in from the Meadows side lower down. Just my .02. All in all the upper mountain looks so so right now. We need more snow. Huge melt outs on West Crater Rim and very little rime. Shit started pouring off the Steel Cliffs at about 8-9 am.

Bill, check your PMs and call me.

If I dream of Paris Hilton tonight, I'm gonna find you Karl and pin your eyes open and make you watch 15 hours of Britnay Spears videos.

I bring moderators on winter trips so my threads dont get hijacked by assholes.

Ok I'll blow my own horn here. Now everyone quit complaining and let the process work. Sheesh.

Thanks Wayne! Glad to hear you pulled this together. Hopefully I'll be able to make it.

Interesting theory, Dumb, but interesting. Where do you find this crap, really? Women are biologically programmed to protect offspring, which involves staying alive. Men are biologically programmed to spread the seed and procreate. Perhaps there is something about this that makes more men climb that women? We find lots of hot chicks to knock up in the mountains?

1/4 of people in Oregon do not identify as white. 1/4 of the people in Washington do not identify as white. I see it as a class problem. You need money and time to get interested in the outdoors as much everyone around here wants to glorify the dirtbag lifestyle. Cycles of poverty, lack of education and access to resource have a disproportionate impact on people of color, which is why climbing is predominantly a white sport.

Come on Joseph, let's not lump UFOs in the same boat as Bigfoot and Nessie. Didn't you see Hitchhiker's Guide? Just pick a probability to deal with the pesky time space continuum.

If Bigfoot smokes crack in the woods and noone hears the whoosh of the torch did it really happen?
