Tech talk fool!

Are you skiing hunter? If so badass! If not why not just get a pair of good climbing boots. If you're spending all that money to get there why not just spend a little more on...

Maybe such a device would come in handy on a non-powder day.





get it?

Been to Drs Wahl (ACL/MCL) and Green (meniscus) there.

I would see either of them again for any knee injury. both were great. But that said I liked Wahl more. Not sure who you had in mind.

The...

Glad you're ok - more or less.

I was up there saturday eve partnerless. Broke a trail up the ridge from the cell/radio tower and was gonna hit a usual solo ini gladish run down to the lake but...

Left my Jacket on top of the car and drove off from Stevens this afternoon.

Realized it 15 mins later and drove back up but someone had already scooped it up - probably on the side of the road or...

Um thats for Mt Baker the mountain dude not the ski area. Important distinction. I don't think that any of the legit services have a permit or arrangement to guide from the ski area lifts. I could be...

Yeah I usually just skim NSP emails and delete but this one seemed weird:
"Dear NSP Members,

I would like to communicate with you on issues of organizational interest. Issues that could affect...

Tried a few products too to no avail. Topsheet material doesn't seem to matter too much.

Let your skis get as cold as possible before getting them in the pow - no melt no stick. Leave outside for...

Well son of a bitch. Just found out I'm joining the club. "Complex" tear of the medial. Been limping around in denial the last couple months. Now sounds like I'll lose about 1/2 that meniscus....

wait a minute here

baby shit is yellow?

Holy shit! Crazy! All those boxes must've been expensive!

If this is the first time this has happened to you then you're the jong.

Welcome to the new "backcountry" norm. Wait'll you see the arm these days on a cold bluebird big pow day.

As mentioned...

Since when did being hung over stop patrol from showing up to work?

No better cure.

Any decent pack should compress down to daypack size if need be. For me 40-50L is a pretty small pack for overnight and is pushing it. Plenty of people use them but I'm over it.

Keep in mind that...

No problems w aluminums. I've walked on rock, scree and talus plenty in mine (stubai).

Got about a half-dozen pairs of crampons and I only grab the aluminums for ski trips.

Supposedly aluminum...

Damn Hugh are you that much of an asshole in person? You should get a new hobby. 11,000 posts, and in most you're probably a know-it-all prick. Sad.

I've spent a good chunk of my life in tents...

I have been in heavy rain in my firstlight.

I experienced moderate rain, inside my firstlight.

More than a little rain, you want a waterproof tent.

yeah ditto on the Upper K. Guided that run for many years. Super fun, IV+ to V, action Packed, warm water, and steep gradient. Full day including the drives. Stay in Ashland. Go with Noahs,...

Tragic accident. Thoughts and condolences to family and friends.

On a taxonomic note though -not a crevasse. This is just a seasonal snowfield. No glacier, no crevasse. Different mechanism at...

"Backcountry" and "Extreme" are a couple of silly and meaningless words in my opinion. Why try to relate the two?

Only applicable use for either word is as some type of gaper mating call, chest...

RIP Bro. We're all thinking about you.

Don't agree with the original assertion.

When do the flags/lights go up? Moderate,considerable,High,extreme?

Or does the flag size increase? Colors get more scary? Do the lights blink...

Lot's of stuff been discussed in here. Not going to get into it all but I do want to say this:

Please stop doing "ski cuts" in the fucking backcountry snowpack people!

Ski cuts are not even...

Darn heck the forecast is looking prime for some longer tours to get done on Friday. Planning on a solo Muir-ish at this point. If anybody on here wants to meet up or needs a partner for something a...

Lordamercy it's been goddamn good around WA lately

yeah don't get in trouble at crater lake. I got practically arrested one time for skiing mt Scott because " the trail was closed"

kevino feel...

Much ado about nothing. It sounds like she wasn't even injured. Just a bunch of hurt feelings all around. "Screaming in pain"? Really? Ambulance Ride? But no injuries. Cry me a river. This bitch...

Found that the ones at UW sports medicine (under Hec-Ed, but maybe have moved for the renovations) were pretty good.

Only if the people that made them eat at natural food stores.


Personally don't think anybody that isn't an advanced skier should be in avy terrain. Skiing's not that hard. learn to do it well...

definitely worth staying as long as you can. lot's of options right around there. from mellow US basin to the steeps of chattanooga.

I wouldn't sweat planning out options too much before you go -...

Bump for a cool thing.

Maybe put this in Slide Zone as well?

Snowpack question:
Been in SW colorado the last couple weeks and out of the loop here. Where's continuous snow start in the Stevens Pass area west side right now elevation wise? The hot springs?...

NWAC is pretty damn money most of the time

Geez relax guys. Just a warm storm. Its not even thanksgiving yet. And the christmas crust is not even due for a while. A little bit of rain is good for the pack and insignificant in the grand scheme...

^I've skied on Pilchuk a bit. Yes, there's some great stuff to be had. And yes there's some serious terrain. Know where you're going up there. The issue is low elevation snow cover and road...

Oh man. drove to MRNP yesterday to brave the whiteout. Only to find out that the AM roads phone report was an error and the road was closed past Longmire.

What were we to do but continue on to...

Not gonna make it out today - too much work.

But maybe see some of you up on the Paradice/Muir manana for the minor break in the storm.

Think the road will be open early? Late? Not at all?
...

Because we can.

Nice to not be carrying a couple metal pipes around everywhere and being able do just whatever fuck we please with our arms whenever the fuck we want.

And the arm flailings...

pure poetry right there

Fucking optimum distance?

Start thinking in nautical miles.

The earth is fucking round bros

not flat

get with the program

You might want to call ahead.
Or check their website for openings.
Before you go somewhere for work.
At leasT get an interview.

I have no idea what this GNAR shit is either

preferably in one paragraph or less
that's the whole reason I...

WHOA DUDE!

Just watching it made me sweat.

It looks like you harness yourself in for the maneuvers. But free-solo it from the seat to the wing? Wow.

Looks cool. Good luck with the agencies-that-be.

"Manitoba" Mountain though? I'd reconsider, no offense. Sounds like it's in Canada, the flat part though.

Holy shit. I did some bad stuff at that age but that is really bad.

Time to go pick up the truck and leave the kids there.

For what it's worth the climb the dad was on is pretty damn awesome...

Bump reminder for today.

Won't make it for the beer but should be at the show.

Probably not enough fully cert’d guides in the US to meet demand. Also one reason to seek certification is to get out of the volcano slogging trade route trenches and actually do some real climbing...

Easy there champ. My old lady's studying to be an ND. Hell she's still got a couple years of school left, and she could probably out-doctor your ass any day of the week. And definitely out-ski you...
