dryad Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Only about 2" in Redmond, but enough to ski across town to the library. Anyone interested in a ski-in Pub Club at the Workshop Tavern tonight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattp Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 I got a ticket for "improper lane usage" on the way to work this morning. he didn't say I was driving unsafe or anything, but using the lanes improperly when there was a cop nearly stopped in the left lane (I thought he must be looking for somebody or something) and I went around him in the right lane on Pacific just west of UW hospital. WTF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 so, you're a lawyer - sue him already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt.Caveman Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 What a loser that cop musta been. Like you can see the lanes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattp Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Yeah, I took pictures of it. Cars and trucks were driving in 9 1/2 lanes where there are normally 4. The cop was so freaked out by the snow and going so slow I honestly thought he wasn't even trying to drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Schuldt Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Comming down heavy in Balard right now. Can't wait till 3 when I can get out and ride! Riding in this morning was way cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klenke Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 I climbed up the steep Queen Anne Blvd Couloir in Seattle today. I never did use my ice tools though it was slippery at times. The couloir is lined by vertical cliffs of varying height. There are many intrusions of glass amidst the brickwork rock. It looks a lot like natural fenestration. Also there are many breaks in the cliffs allowing an escape if you should have to bail before the steepest section of the couloir about two-thirds up. I was not alone in the couloir though as I had to constantly pass people on the way up and dodge snowboarders, skiers, innertubers, sledders, and excited dogs coming down. It was the busiest couloir in the state on this Tuesday, January, 6, 2004. Probably about 300 people there. Even the news reporters were Johnny on the spot. Pictures at 5 and 11. If you want to partake in the couloir before the rain comes, hurry hurry hurry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dryad, if you want to link up and drink gimme a hollar. Not much going on and I would meet you at a pub in close walking proximity...

marylou Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Klenke, I'm wondering if anyone was doing an avy beacon safety check?! Hope so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelle Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Matt - it could have been the cop they showed on the news chaining up at a gas station (in the U-dist) I think and apologizing to Andy Woppler for doubting the fcast. He looked sketched... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
To_The_Top Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Well, the skiing was good in WSeattle too... Many climbs, some turns on steep hills and a bit of dodging outta control 4wd's Nice snow before the rain, just as good as QueenAnne. No partner, no avi beacon and no shovel taken.

dkemp Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 I got in some tele-turns at Woodland Park (workin' on that left-hand turn!) My destiny nearly collided with that of a 8 yo on a sled. Since I was bigger I had right of way, and since she was smaller she had cat-like reflexes. Earning a scowl from her mom, I quickly found a less populated area. hey, Woodland Park was "in"!
