Good thing all the lady skiers have gentlemen to protect them. WTF?

I've been pleasantly surprised by the conditions at Dodge on many occasions. My parents live up there and always buy me a season pass because otherwise they wouldn't see me all ski season....

QFT:

In all seriousness, a whistle is a damn good idea (attached in front), as is some high-calorie food. It really does keep you warm. A space blanket weighs nothing and is a good idea too.

I ski...

Don't forget the lone carabiner on the pack. And some powder cords.

That's horrible news. Many positive vibes to family and friends. Any info on mechanism of injury or where she was found?

I got Ground Glissade pants from SAC for $49. They're $70 at STP: http://www.sierratradingpost.com/p/381,1079Y_Ground-Glissade-Pants-Waterproof-For-Women.html. They work great and have full side...

Nah. After overdoing it on fondue he made the fatal swiss faux pas of using the toilet after 10pm, and the neighbors had no compassion.

Nice setup, somerandomskier! I had something similar in a 2WD but never used it 'cause I had a 4WD subaru.

wish I hadn't just spent so much on new ones! good deal.

I think I can safely say that cliff hucking is safer than rally car race watching.

I had no idea. Makes my upcoming move to upstate NY stop bumming me out, though. I had no idea there was that kind of snow nearby!

I was having trouble getting photos to attach to the post. They each have a tiny core shot that should be easy to fill, otherwise the bases just have a few scratches that will be gone with the first...

Thanks, all, for a great time! Thanks especially to wandering, not lost for some *delicious* food, to MBSC for organizing and showing us around, and to everyone for being a great group.

sorry folks, sold lokally for asking price. can't pass that up, I'm afraid.

I guess I've been staying sober by buying drinks for other people. I'm getting sick of these shirley temples, though. I need a new "go to" virgin bar drink.

I just got clearance to go from work, so I'm definitely in! I'm arriving at Gunnison Airport on Friday the 5th ~ 5pm, departing Monday the 8th ~ 5:20pm. I would be very happy to contribute...

Fly southwest when you can (still free).

I think United still considers 2 bags one.

But I, too am thinking about shipping. UPS ground would be cheaper but I don't want to be without my gear for...

Call me out in another thread if that's your thing, but could you please stop polluting this thread?

I'm in outpatient alcohol rehab now and certainly won't be able to escape for a full week, though I'm working on just coming for the weekend.

Please PM if you've got one to sell (or just know where I can get one cheap).

thanks!

I'm in! I'm flying into Gunnison, arriving Friday 2/5 at 5pm and leaving Saturday 2/13. Obviously I'm sticking around for some extra skiing after the mini. =)

1. Yes
2. No, but I still get stuck on the bunny slopes for a couple hours a day.

Touché. But I also PM'd each attendee letting them know I'm perfectly willing not to attend if not welcome, but I need to hear it from someone actually going since there are so many aliases floating...

So it's pretty clear I'm not welcome. Fine. I'll visit Crested Butte another time. But um, yeah, not that it's any of anyone's business, but I've had some things done medically. I no longer have...

Thanks, MaP. I figured as much. I booked a flight to Gunnison this morning, figuring I can always change the dates if not welcome.

Hey maggettes,

I'd love to join in the estrogen-fueled fun but don't want to come if I'm not welcome. Full disclosure: I'm a transgender woman, so I probably run afoul of the "no Y chromosomes"...

So far Win 7 64 is a helluva lot faster than a clean install of vista ultimate 32 at everything. That makes me happy. No crashes or other issues yet, and I've messed around with it a lot. I like...

My partner ate a couple of raw pork sausages from the fridge. Cold. I don't know how she managed to do it, but apparently she didn't know that some sausages are uncooked. When I explained this to...

Potentially interested. PM sent with couple questions.

edit to add: interested in skis + bindings

yeah, so um, that was pretty sweet...

I mean, the avy presentation was extremely basic level, which I'm sure was great for some. Just another night to get the ski stoke up, I thought. Oh yeah,...

The pizza dough at trader joe's is ~$1.50 and is more than enough for a 12 inch pizza. Comes in herbed/traditional/wheat and makes some damn good pizzas for minimal effort.

My T-mobile phone didn't work at my parents' house in the mountains. Or pretty much anywhere in the mountains. I knew T-mobile didn't have a network there when I got it, but they have a roaming deal...

Just purchased Windows 7 Pro 64 bit here for $29.99. You need a .edu email address to register. I've purchased Vista, Office, and Visio through this promo in the past.

since they don't wait seven days to ship and there's no combined shipping option at checkout, how do they know to do it?

Lucky bastards. I used to do laundry a couple times a week when I had a full-sized washer and dryer in my unit. Now I have to drive to the Laundromat and stand around waiting for machines to be...

Yes, thanks so much for opening your home! The desserts were phenomenal, as were the nachos. =)

I needed to pick up a set of chains for the several times I seem to get spot-checked by the highway patrol each year. (Yes, you can get a ticket in CA even with a subie and snows).

I have a recumbent exercise bike I picked up after a knee injury a few years ago. It served me well for rehab purposes and I haven't used it in a couple years now. I don't really have room for it in...
