Snowboarders and Sledders - all slopes are safe! Proceed direct ahead!

VPI? VPI? Do you mean Tech? Don't malign the Commonwealth.

Dude, Aren't you the one who wants to start a guide service?

Ding! Ding! Someone's been listening to their vocab tapes!

Eh? Stalin was dead before the true horrors of collectivisation were known. Khruschev was instrumental in exposing those (authorizing pub of "A Day in the life of Ivan Denisovich") The 30's were the big heyday of support for Stalin on the left - when the right in the US & UK spent their time approving and encouraging Hitler, Mussolini & fascism (after all they opposed communism)

Yikes! That doesn't surprise me. That could be a bad fall too.

It appears so. To much beer of late. And reading other bb's where people seriously advocate carrying fire starting equipment in winter as safety gear.

Creek should be covered by now - almost was before X-Mas. Only part that's bad is the bit right by the HRM parking lot.

Because it's so easy to start a fire on top of snow, in the winter. And keep it going with all that ncie dry wood. Dig a snow cave. Try and walk out. Fire's when caught out are overrated.

The irony of Fairweather going ballistic over Che, but being nonplussed over the admittedly much smaller scall indefinite detention of political prisoners by the US in Cuba is interesting.

It'd take alot to displace the terrain park.

I'd call BD. There seems to be like a thread a month over in maggot land with someone looking for Flexon tongues - the last one seemed to suggest the only source (some shop in Canada) had dried up, and was sick of the calls Why not leave the tongue off and go for the rando racer look? You could start a whole new trend!

This probably should be posted more in Gear Critic, but.... has anyone tried the new BD Soliras w/Li-Ion battery?

It's worth noting that Microsoft is no longer supporting 98 http://www.microsoft.com/windows/lifecycle/desktop_Results.aspx ergo, no more bug vixes!

Where are you headed? North or South Island?

Do not denigrate the Commonwealth of Virginia by calling it a mere state Yankee!

To say the least! As with most tests, it had some of the standard questions (list of squares - question is which ones next, etc...) Describing me as a Visual Mathematician is fairly accurate though.

I hope to report back tomorrow! With the cold Sunday/Monday should be good...

Because obviuously you haven't had your hot beef injection for today.

Gee. Just what I needed. One more thing on CC that's not suitable for work.

When I was there last month there were no permit issues. They asked that you sign in and out at the visitor center(it's were you're staying so no BFD). There are permit issues for the Great Walks, but thats a whole different ballgame.

Trap Dike's cool. Try for Pharoah Mtn & NF Gothics if you get a chance.

I'd advise you to read better then: "Thanks for checking with me as this is in contradiction to what we (USFS & Alpental) agreed upon. It was agreed that there will be no uphill travel on the south side. Uphill travel is allowed on the north side of the river(opposite of the ski area)." That isn't a "plowed trail"

The Kea is also very conspicuous in the skies and about the crags of Arthur’s Pass. The rule simply put is "DON’T FEED THE KEA;" this includes not tossing your food scraps about. Given a few kilojoules of human food they are quite capable of systematically dismantling your hut or tent, chopping your rope into useful 2m lengths, flying off with Koflach inners and basically being downright annoying. If you do become victim to the legend it WILL be your fault. Kea are totally protected and it is a criminal offence to harm them! Sounds like a snaffle to me..
