wrench Posted March 16, 2002 Posted March 16, 2002 ... but on the other hand, who would have thought i could race up to snoqualmie after work on a mid-march friday for a quick board fix and get decent snow (great snow for snokwalmy)?! Quote

wrench Posted March 16, 2002 Posted March 16, 2002 quote: Originally posted by Szyjakowski: BTW wrench its more like "Snocrumie" Yeah, exactly, that's why it was so surprising. I can't stand the place except for weeknights after lots of snowfall. Quote
Dave_Schuldt Posted March 16, 2002 Posted March 16, 2002 Yo fairweather- go skiing and stop whining. Get the good turns while you can. Quote

You're right Dave. I despise whiners, and in my post I'm whining for sure. Went to the gym and feel better now....maybe I will go make some turns tomorrow. ....Now...How to tell the wife... Quote
philfort Posted March 17, 2002 Posted March 17, 2002 The FRESHIEZ were GREAT today! 2 feet of fresh, occasional sunshine, lots of facials...... Quote
Fairweather Posted March 17, 2002 Author Posted March 17, 2002 Two weeks ago I was climbing Leuthold on Mount Hood... Today there is snow on my lawn, I'm eating a bag of "Cookie Parade" and washing it down with Coca Cola while I watch Saturday Night Fever on cable TV and look at this site to see who's flaming whom. With any luck I'll gain 5 or 6 pounds by Monday. I suppose I'll go the the gym later on, but right now I'm in a slump. When will spring arrive??? Quote
W Posted March 17, 2002 Posted March 17, 2002 Word, Fairweather. I'm working today, and probably tomorrow since there looks to be no warm outside rock climbing anywhere within 800 miles of here. And I have three weeks left before I hit the road for a year of climbing and travel. Until then, I've got to tone down on the Mexican and Italian food and start getting outside! Quote
Dru Posted March 18, 2002 Posted March 18, 2002 whatever, when its spring you can't go ice climbing and rock climbing on the same day, cause the ice all melted back up the mountain. Quote

payaso Posted March 18, 2002 Posted March 18, 2002 1 - 2 feet of fresh snow expected in the cascades in the next two days!!! I wanna get on some rock too but when the snow's this good, it will have to wait! Start the fake cough at work today cuz tomorrow will be fat wherever you decide to go! Quote
CascadeClimber Posted March 18, 2002 Posted March 18, 2002 March 18, 2002, 11:02 AM. It is snowing and sticking at my house in Issaquah, and has been all morning. I'm at 480 feet. This is bizarre. Don't put those ice tools away yet... Quote
nolanr Posted March 19, 2002 Posted March 19, 2002 Oops, I officially declared it spring prematurely a couple weekends ago after finding nice weather and warm dry rock in L-worth. Seems like I do that every year. Oh well, I guess I'll never learn. Quote
allison Posted March 19, 2002 Posted March 19, 2002 I rented a cabin in the ONF for tonight, planned to go out and spend some private time with the Muse (no spray on this pleeze), do some pastel drawings in the midst of the tranquil beauty of the dripping moss and CCC rustic loveliness that inhabits the Hamma Hamma drainage, but outside of Belfair ran into the nastiest slippery-ass shit for an excuse for snow, got the Soobaroo sliding all over the road like I was on marbles, at one point got so much sticky nasty goopy snow in the wheel wells I had to get out and clean them, spent more time in the car not doing anything except getting frustrated.....and to top it all off I am home now, couldn't get into the cabin, too much muck, slppyslideyshittttt and I'm sure the Muse is on the porch of the cabin, slurping a bottle of bourbon and dragging on a Gitanes, and laughing her ass off because her pal Mother Nature decided it wasn't my day.
