Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't Crystal & Baker on Forest Service land? I think that's been part of Silverton's problem - they're the first ski area to use BLM land, and the agency is starting from sratch on how to oversee & regulate, and has a much different history of land regulation.

What, a Xeroxed page that says pray for hell freezing over?

You know Fairweather, I think there may be a place for you in the Ashcroft Department of Justice......

I wonder why more women don't post here. It is puzzling. Perhaps it because there is open hatred toward women on this site. Just an observation. There's that cascadeclimbers bad attitude again!

My friends make fun of my blue Denalis. I hope they're just jealous. I'll have to buy Garmont next time so I can be stylish. They must not have seen the earlier hot pink Denalis

Aye. Who wouldn't get bored there? I believe Mr. Hyde does too..

Hmm.. the head patrolers at both of the major Mt. Hood ski areas tele...

How about this one Temple Basin 3 rope tows, 45 minute walk, in good conditions, to get to the lifts.

I would say that, except that Silverton's opening is being held up until they can demonstrate proper avalanche control for the whole area. Isn't part of proper avalanche control restricted access? Don't ranchers get to restrict access to their leased BLM land?

Amusing that the Mounties are still following in the Mazamas footsteps...

I'm hoping to swing down their this winter for some climbing (hear there's nice ice!), and some skiing. I hear the country's awesome down there. I actually had reservations for their first season, but those feel through due to the loss of employment.

It's my understanding that access is restricted to the general public for avalanche hazard reasons (I'll dig up the article sometime soon). Sure their are backcountry areas with the same terrain, but for ease/speed of access to quality, lightly used terrain, it's pretty unique.

Maybe(probably!) it's the Supercomps, but that was my first problem in 3 years. Certainly it's not my svelte figure. I actually bought the parts from Rainey - I needed a spare anyway. Can't beat the confirmation e-mail within an hour on a Sunday!

I'd have definitely taken that as sign to give up AT skiing I was skinning up to kill time before the night ski tickets went on sale, and at the top of the run found the toe throw on my Superloops had broke repair parts are on the way though!

So Ford should have been let off the hook for the Pinto?

Did you know that bear meat is the largest source of trichinosis in the US?

That awaits the beauraucrats at the BLM in Washington. F&*king feds. Seems like it's easier to get a clearcut approved.

Crikey! I just saw 2 AMR ambulances heading down mid-Afternoon.

Definite bummer. Hope he heals quickly. Judging by the AMR's I passed on the way up, he wasn't the worst off. And I was pissed I broke my binding at the top of the first run of the season.

Your building came wired with 10Base-T, connected to a T1?

Yeah, rock shoes suck on snow. I guess I can't think of a time where the snow conditions have been such that skins would provide traction, but I couldn't kick steps. There've been several times I'd wish'd for instep crampons.

If your worried about using a double rope - you can buy a short rope of some of the new small singles Here

There was an article published in the November issue of Couloir on this route w/ sketch. There were also small blurbs in Powder in Backcountry Mag. One of the articles mentioned a large avalanche in the couloir shortly after they'd exited.

An aunt of mine lived in Laramie for a couple of years. Hated it. It's not much for culture, and it's not close to anywhere. And it's alot different than the NE corner of the state.

Please tell me what yours is! Pretty please! I really give a shit. There's more to progress than a harder grade.
