need partner/s to skin up some verticle!

[Stewster]

I just began bc skiing last year and have been out maybe 10 times this winter season. I am seeking out people (with a wee bit more experience:) who are interseted in showing me the ropes for route finding, overnight trip, summitting peaks, mixed climbing, alpine, etc.. I have 6 years of climbing experience, trad.... and, am stoked about the skinning and mixed routes.... I have the next 3 weekends open. ANyone, buhler??

I'm in about the same position you are, so can hardly offer to teach you that much, but if you want to get out, PM me.

Have you bc skiied much this winter? Do you live in Portland? I was considering Adams, IF the road is cleared, in 2 weekends.

Skinning sure is great. Its so fun that in the winter I like to skin up the runs at ski areas and ride the lift back down.

its almost as fun as belaying. i went skinning for the first time just this past weekend, but then had to get back to the car so i took the skiis off and walked the downhill portions.

so skinning up and booting it down. Sounds fantastic. Where can I sign up?

[DirtyHarry]

Let's skin some vertical then go belaying. Fuck yeah!
