I think I invented a new sport yesterday, I call it snowshoe jumping. Walked up the backside of a huge boulder, packed down a runway, then "Geronimo!" Jumped off several different sides, a little higher each time, probably 10', 12', 15'. Pretty fun. You could add backflips, helicopter maneuvers, etc. and it'll end up in the next Winter X Games on ESPN 2.

I'm keeping a score of my longest world championship butt ski runs. So far my winner is 2100 feet continuous, unassisted slide, down the Roe Creek basin, north of Squampton. Its worth the trip up here to Canada just for the butt ski! Second to that is the way-fun ass grind on the Interglacier on Raineer. When its really slushy and everone follows the same line, there's this bobsled effect thing with this giant runnel that you cant get out of. Very cool, but not fast enough! Any other recommendations for the gluteous glissade?

Here's a good butt rash story: coupla years ago I was staying in a condo on the side of a resort in BC (BigWhithead, I think) in June. There was still hard neve on the hill, so my brother and I decided to go fer a slide. I took a garbage bag, but he got one of those Rubbermaid plastic things you dry your dishes on. We get to the top of the hill and launch but he gets going way too fast and can't stop. So he jettisons his mat and in shorts is going a good click and tries to stop. He burns the skin off his hands, but also COMPLETELY scrapes the skin off his ass! He's got his really hairy Chewbacca ass that he has to show the doctor in town to get bandaged up and he can't sit down at all (think shitting here!), has to lie in the back seat on the way home, and misses a week of work. So damn funny!

i did a 4000 foot butt glissade off silvertip once. snow was just too soft to boot ski but sitting down gave more surface area in contact and increased flotation enough to slide. took like 15-20 minutes, froze my ass numb and didnt wear a hole in my gore tex bibs for which i am thankful.

I did a butt slide down most of Mt Hood a couple of years ago. I beat my partner but my water bottle beat me down. I used to clip it to one of the pack straps. Now I use a locker on my water bottle. Luckily it stopped once we hit the top of the ski area. From there we butt slide down on the groomer tracks. I got going so fast that it felt like my ass was on fire. Once I stopped, I noticed that I partially melted my gortex pants. An expensive lesson in glissading.

I would guess that we did 3000' of sliding.

after his fa of the Messner Couloir on Denali, Reinhold descended aforementioned couloir on Alaska's ubiquitous red plastic sled!!! I've seen the slides (photo-projection- type that is),

taken by a NPS climbing ranger hanging out at the 14K basin, who thought for sure that he'd be packin' Reini's carcass out! What a howl!!!

OK Erik, that is the most fucked up thing I have seen in quite some time! Yes, hilarious in principle, but clicking on the gallery was a big mistake. No Dru, it aint porn, but if that shit --seeing a kitten shoved in a small glass cube --gives anyone a fatty or a smile, then, my friend, you're gonna have to plant yourself squarely in front of a large, fast moving object, and take one for the team! I'm thinking that the guy behind this probably has a large stockpile of weapons and fifteen-year-old wives in an underground bunker somewhere in Utah. Very strange indeed.

My favorite sport is to make the first ski tracks out of the parkinglot. I ski over logs, through streams, down cliffs, etc - then back to the parkinglot to see how many lemmings I have caught.

I bet I could make a few bucks finding the lemmings and selling hot chocolat, maps, ski and pole splints . . .
