Â just a guess, but say, oh... your ass? Â Crikey, if it ain't skis, a snowboard, or a parapente, why the phuq would you want to haul any more shite up there than you really need to? Quote
Dru Posted July 15, 2003 Posted July 15, 2003 i saw a picture once of some stupid cordura glissading shorts you could weare over your polypro, or over your goretex bibs, to keep the more valuable/erodable material dry & intact  they make you look like even more of a fool than most of the shorts over poly crowd too Quote

He looked like an idiot. glissade shorts Quote
JoshK Posted July 15, 2003 Posted July 15, 2003 Jeezus, those are retarted. I can't imagine carrying an extra pound just to glissade with. If you are really worried about it bring a hefty tough sac or two. Quote
dryad Posted July 15, 2003 Posted July 15, 2003 Just get some cheap expendable thrift store rain pants that you won't feel bad about trashing. Quote
iain Posted July 15, 2003 Posted July 15, 2003 SKIS PEOPLE. SKIS. If no, than learn to boot ski. Quote

I brought a small plastic garbage back with me on glacier, punched two leg-holes through the bottom, and rocketed down the glissade chutes without trashing my pants.... Quote

Alpinfox Posted July 15, 2003 Posted July 15, 2003 Â Trash compactor bags are tougher than regular garbage bags. The first time I climbed Hood, I took a round pizza baking sheet with me. It didn't work that much better than my ass. Â These days, I just glissade in my pants (usually schoeller) and have never had any rips, just a wedgie! Quote
bDubyaH Posted July 15, 2003 Posted July 15, 2003 put breakables (camera) in your jacket put your legs through the arm holes of your old pack and ride it, that way you don't get swamp-ass from an hour of trying to cram snow up your butt. Quote
