Where in PDX?

[Blake]

Where in Portland (north end if possible) should i go to pick up some randonee odds and ends such as ski leashes and Cheat Sheets? Also, any reviews or advice for storing skins and using cheat sheets to keep everything running smoothly?

Be warned that if you use "Cheat Sheets" your partners will likely endlessly mock you.

What are "cheat sheets"?

[snoboy]

things that go between your skins to make them easier to pull apart, I think. AKA clusterf^&*s!

blake,

 

i'm here at omc (oregon mt. community), and we have lots of cheat-sheets, if the rest of these posters haven't already talked you out of them.

yeah, thanks. After a day of shopping in PDX I learned a few things. A.when the chubby red-haired REI "ski expert" tells you that the waxpaper glue-renews are "cheat sheets" she is full of shit, but trying to correct her is pointless. B. The Mountain Shop employees seem like good guys, and even called OMC to ask if OMC had cheat sheets in stock. C. OMC had them in stock.
