The '95 is indeed a fine vintage. Since you aren't quite a bobo.... I'll call you a robo

Feel proud in your connoisseurship

JayB - I believe your current truck was likely produced in Fremont by those same American workers.

That's some rational economic thought right there. When you fly you avoid Southwest (among the most unionized of airlines) because they have such a bad product, right? I, for one, am glad GM executives were so well compensated for handing lavish packages to the union workers. It's like the board and stockholders thought the ones in charge were doing a good job.

Big boots add benefit if you want to ski big skis. Verticals and Comforts (and the brakes) add no benefit.

Heaven forbid they enact and enforce more anti-bestiality legislation.

I suppose the updated Santa Ana graphic is my comeuppance. We get offshores when I go skiing

Do you know what the problem with the East Coast is? It's all fucking beach break! There's not a goddamn fucking point break in the whole fucking region!

That's excellent advice if you want to ski like they did 20 or 50 years ago.... i.e. you want to ski like shit. Which is exactly they way 90-99% of them skiied. If all you want to do is get out in the snow, buy snowshoes.

For Tahoe touring, check out theBackcountry's web guide: http://www.thebackcountry.net/guidebook.php The Sierra Club lodge is Clair Tappan - they also have several huts around the Tahoe area, check 'em out. Tahoe got dumped on recently.

Silly conservative, salvation is found at right pointbreaks.

Unless you need constant handholding, get your guide in Zermatt

There are probably a few people who've learned completely in the back country - and they've learned in spite of their learning environment, not because of it. It's pretty damn hard to become a decent skier only in the back country. Why? Because you can easily ski 20-40x more vertical feet in a day at a resort, getting 20x-40x the skiing. You also have plenty of other skiers technique to watch from the reviewing stand (chairlift). Buy some cheap alpine skis, or go for a beginner rental package and see if you like it.

Dat was me.... and I'm still delinquent on order fulfillment. My fly boxes are now far away, but I'll check in a couple weeks what I have. I know I have Wulffs, Adams, Hoppers and Ants that I tied up for Jellystone... the others I've no idea. No pictures of flies, just trout holding water in pleasant places.

heh. the descent into laughter in the middle is a mood killer, isn't it?

Hey, I wanna ski 3/4 of the route and it to count. On second thought, I wanna be Davo Karnicar and ski that shit top to bottom.

Is it really possible to survive on 5-7 days of protein and iron per month? I'm not married

The gauntlet has been laid I think that "gauntlet" was more like a velvet glove. Tipping the velvet on cc.com? Now we are talking voyeurism!

But can they breathe throught their ears? HUH!?

The gauntlet has been laid

What if the giant squid had carried a MLU and a PRB? HUH! THEY'D BE SAGE NOW!

I could survive a lifetime on a muff only diet.

I thought this was going to be about grooming habits
