That's been done - Davo Karnikar in 2000 (he used Oxygen, so an O2 less descent is still available). Of the 8000m peaks Shishapangma, Annapurna, Everest (and probably more) have been skiied complete

For some reason the movie refuses to load. some deep irony there.

Same thing happened to an x-girlfriend. Except she had the crappy website, the group that wanted it was a major corporation, and they were offering >$1k cash.

Except for pants with Keprotec or similar reinforcement on the inside legs, a feature often missing on cheapo pants. I have the Arc'teryx, nice mid bib height.

Isn't telemark Norwegian for "wait for me"?

Six Packs! We WANT CASES!

And the award for dumbest idea of all time goes to! $400 sucks for a ticket. Yes you can fight it - but they let you off easy without giving you a reckless (85mph in OR) - so don't plan on it being an easy fight. It'd be cheaper to pay it than blow all your vacation on court dates.

Wow!

I have an Arc'teryx Sirius SL. The "less-durable" predecessor to the Alpha SL. I've worn it 50-60 days. Bushwacking, liftskiing, running into lift pulleys, climbing, it hasn't worn out. I'm positive you couldn't abuse it more on an expedition.

$250 is a bit much for that setup, even with skins. Length is right, bindings are a bit old.

So W lied to us the whole time. Thanks for making that clear Scott.

No, it's not rocket science Scott. Kerry voted to give Bush the ABILITY to declare war. Kerry didn't declare war, Bush did. As for the stated positions of Bush & Saddam, Saddam was lying, how do we know Bush wasn't? Would he have invaded even if Saddam backed down?

So your saying Bush never had the intention of a peaceful resolution to the conflict and no matter what Saddam had done we'd have gone to war?

Jack Mormons aren't good Mormons, that's what makes them cool.

We should charge them for protecting them against the masses of nations enraged at belligerant Canadian behavior!

Not true. There's Scotty Bob, but he's the only one. In store prices are $6-$650, more if you want something with real beef to it. Most of the highend freeride skis are ~$800 which isn't much different from the custom/boutique manufacturers. I'm not impressed with the skis, but not surprised it is skis - [snip]

Are you updating the banned from Mt Bachelor list?

Alright - FREE! FREE! FREE! Just take them away. I also have a pair of 3 piece Leki Trekking/Ski Poles. Catch is one section is bent and doesn't retract. Also free (spare parts?)

A Republican mentions "kook psychology", "red button", "north korea" and "iran" in the same sentance - and try's to mock the Democrats

As a corollary, if your in Portland, check out Portland Mountain Rescue.

Ptor put an interesting article up on biglines.com earlier this year check it out

Damn, have to learn how to ski But that's on my list for this upcoming season... Many patrols have openings for "auxiliary" or similar type positions working in the first aid room, minimal skiing skills required.

Doesn't Idaho have more Mormons per capita than Utah? (and utah has FUFMO: Free Utah From Mormon Oppression - a bumpersticker spotted in LCC). There's a lifetime of climbing in the Southwest, SLC hands down.
