where's your trip report??

after another succesful weekend with some really good dot commers i just want to say thanks again for jon and tim and all their hardwork for putting this site together cause dats whats its all about THE PEOPLE!!!!

the only reference that i have ever heard of it called the enigma gully was by phil and greg...i have herard about the slot coulior for a couple years talk to the boyz at alpental and they will look at you dunbly if you ask about engima....i think it goes like this "hey man you skied the engima coulir??" "what?""you know that sketchy slot up on the north side of snoq.""oh yeah me and my dog skied that after a 1/4 oz sniffer and a couple shotz from ole silver, my gramps skied it in leaters and woodies back in 48 after the war.""word!" it sounds like you didn't do complete researxh for the article. martin's book has been around for way more then a year.... i would personnally say that you should write a retraction to couloir mag and have them correct your oversights.....if not i am sure a couple other people will... is this more of a sellout then k.b. @ the tnf??? selling local secrets for a buck?? git a rope!

dkookum falls like mattp said only forms rarely and even moe rare solid enough for it to climb.... you can either ford the river(we did) or you can park at trhe dalles campgroiund and hike up the trail back to it(long). the biggest problem with the area is that it is about 1000-1500ft anove sea level so good luck in trying to catch it unless you live up there. we got a call from a friend who lived in greenwater and worked at crystal......its fun, but not worth much effort cause 90% of it will be wasted.... crystal rulz though doesn't it bone?

matt, that was one of the better posts i think i have read in along time....... a standpoint of reason!!!!!!!

get a map and look for yourself. i can't possibly hold your hand the whole time.....my mommy kicked me out along time ago and told me to do my own adventures and and explore the world for myself and anyone looking for a free ride is a bum...... i gave you all you need, just watch the propery lines.....dey got guns and no teef.....

what is revolutionary about them???? there is nothing new there just a revamped idea....check out old john long and some of the crap he came up with in the 70's.........more money is all i see.......come one come all buy more gear then is reasonablly needed...... i can see applications for them but until they go out of bidness and sell their stock at discount i won't be buying them good luck

Dunno if I am going to go up before Saturday afternoon if it is raining but yes, Legion Hall anytime after 6 PM or so. Bring your lungs and i'll bring the damage. and maybe some greens cxause the brown is harsh!! cough cough

quote: Originally posted by avypoodle: Hey Dick Pump, its heelside, not backside. I know you don't get it but I'll explain. If a regular footed (left foot foward) rider turns left he is on his heel side edge, hence heel side turn. However, if a rider rotates his body in that same direction while airborn, he would be spinning frontside. By the way Pumper, how are your turns? Your probabaly one of those skiers who never quite got that parallel turn thing down and is still half snowplowing. Its cool, my Mom has the same problem, just keep taking those lessons and remember: Big Pizza Slice = slow Little Pizza Slice = fast ooooohhhhhh da dawg himself hath spoken!!!!! now whatca gonna do!!!??!???!! oops shes lurking. sorry [ 01-23-2002: Message edited by: erik ]

no baby NOW we have a swinger!!!!

why would any real climber want to waste their time climbing little rocks when they live in a state blessed with one of the finest alpine ranges in the world..... who wants to waste time scrubbing moss, loose rock and dirt from some boulder that will be covered again in six months?? who wants to go around and spend a day doing one thing over and over and over and over again until they either get it or go home???? i might be fun, but here in washington we aint got time to climb baby rocks.......
