As a minor point of clarification, it was not a book about FISTING that caused the issue, it was a book about SWINGING that happened to feature a bit of FISTING. America Swings, by Naomi Harris,...

Since it was so warm in the lowlands, we were lured into higher elevations by the promise of cooler temperatures and impending snowfall. And for awhile, it had seemed like a fine idea to be in this...

No matter the snow conditions or the exchange rate, I can always convince myself to go set fire to francs and euros for a few weeks in the spring. This year, with the EuroZone about to economically...

Might be a day or so until I can get around to continuing this worthless narrative. In the meantime, content yourselves with this short film of an old Austrian woman optimistically shoveling off the...

Sometimes a trip begins with great promise, with a variety of cured meats, cheeses from an assortment of hooved mammals, liberal applications of sunblock, drinking chilled cans filled with centuries...

I bought them and retired my Manaslus for that purpose. I am leaving in a day for about a month in Europe and I wanted something for 80% touring and backcountry and 20% area skiing, which is about...

^^^What do you need lodging for? Just party all weekend?

Nevermind, just noticed...

I own 2 pairs of DPS skis and I beat the shit out of them and could care less what they look like. I ski them a lot and I ski shitty, rocky conditions and I ski like a busted-down $40 North Vegas...

I came for the stoke but then that pretty much dried up. I stuck around for the comedy but that mostly evaporated, as well. So now I just hang around to laugh at the petty squabbles.

I'm going to...

No new data points from me after another 8-10 days of Colorado shitcrust other than these things ski really fucking fast. I am a lazy, lazy man which translates into being a lazy skier. Skiing these...

Jesus, that ^^^^ has suicide written all over it.

Edgeworks.

Strangely, this does not make me feel any better about my own limitations. What sort of stem cell / gunpowder / Aryan baby hearts / HGH smoothies are you people drinking?

Touche. I am still saddened by my inability to join you, or to be short-roped to the summit by Wendigo. Strong men also cry, sir. Strong men also cry!

57 American degrees in Grindelwald? Inversion in Chamonix? Jesus, when does the lava start flowing from Mont Blanc?

Sacrifice some virgins or a chamois, or set some Down Skis ablaze while you...

I'm actually headed over in a week and a half, will be there for a few weeks off and on in between a couple of tours. I'm lucky enough to have a place to stay but it's bit away from the action, so...

Reserved for a kick to your nut sack.

^^that is the Maison de la Presse Alplib. Alplib will do mail order from their website but you're probably better to wait than pay the premium for shipping.

If you can't wait and want a loaner to...

Took a stroll from Loveland Pass over Grizzly and Torreys today, then back to the Pass. Pretty grim-looking, thought briefly about skiing Sniktau since it was at least mostly covered, but it was hard...

By the time I logged on to book my spots for this week, some waterhead named Bromberg had booked the whole hut for 3 nights. Maybe next time.

Some of us are also worn down by all the death this winter and perhaps are out of things to say from the armchair. I'm just going to go with something Covert posted a few weeks ago - Good or bad...

Memorial is tomorrow night at 6pm.

PM me if anyone wants to make the drive from Denver. Could leave tonight or tomorrow morning. Will probably stick around for a couple days of Teton AT-ing.

^^^ I will be around, off and on, for a few weeks. Would be happy to meet up if schedules allow, shoot me a PM. I only ski the sickest shit, however.

^^^ What's in the pack? GORP? The ten essentials?

That looks sporting! How long are you under that nasty serac on the way up? Hard to tell from a foreshortened photo.

Nevermind, I bothered to actually click on the TR link. If that crew left at...

Theoretically, SAC huts will make you ski to the road if you can get there in 90 minutes or less. From Vignettes, they can make you ski to the road since you can be in Arolla fairly quickly....

Ahhh, shit. I knew I should've sacked for the 12 hour plane ride and not let the lack of quality prostitutes deter me.

Seriously? Did you miss the thread where Superstar Punani pretended he was a jet-setting millionaire to ensnare some heifer willing to trade her snatch for a place to live for her and her kid? This...

Looks like a blast, hoping to head down there early next week. How was the food?

PM me if anyone wants to tour tomorrow. Bert or Butler or one of our other local 1.5 star backcountry destinations.

Not too early, since I have to take my wife to a court-mandated fetal alcohol...

#92 Warmer temps meant there weren't as many homeless people around the heating grate at 46th and Walnut, meaning I couldn't harvest as many organs for export, meaning I couldn't buy new skis.

I am fairly hot but introverted. Should I bother?

Fuck. Hope they are okay and just having an epic.

Goddamnit, read that article after I posted.

This winter can go fuck itself.

I've never roped with anyone going uphill on the Amethyst Glacier or the Tour Noir, and most of the crevasse hazard is fairly straight-forward. There can be a bit of weaving about on the Tour Noir...

Bumping your own TR is for jagoffs but stale stoke is still stoke. And since I spent all day reorganizing my photos I stumbled across a few more that are worth posting before I go fill more memory...

It's around 50 degrees at the very top with some serious consequence if you take a tumble. It's fairly common to rope down a bit and untie wherever you are comfortable since the snow at the top...

PM me if any of you beaters want to go check out the Opus Hut on Monday and Tuesday.

As The Suit (or somebody) pointed out, I think they come from the factory in need of some work to get them dialed in. I didn't put a true bar on them or anything but figured I would beat the shit out...

I shoot lots of bike races and skiing with the 70-200 non IS. I don't shoot in gyms and when I need a stop I have a 200mm fixed that sits in a closet 361 days a year. The fixed lens takes slightly...

Did some stoke get posted?

Far be it from me to agree with Rog but if I never went out in Considerable conditions I would rarely leave my house. And I seldom dig pits, either. And I think of myself as a competent and safe...

+1, that was fantastic.

More please, I spent all day in zero viz skiing windjack.

I have 12 days on these now, including the last 4 days. 5 resort days, 7 touring days. Mounted with Dynafit FT12s. I bought them because I essentially wanted a Manaslu that can hold an edge, as well...

If you could get them down to $333 or so, I would be interested.

Like some old Greek said, It is impossible for a man to learn what he already thinks he knows.

OP - I think you're a bit casual with the potential for things like "partial burial" and a "few...

I think it's charming that you care enough what a pack of internet dooshnozzles think about you that you would start 2 threads pre-emptively defending your actions.

Other than that, I have no...

Wait, what happened on 9-11?

Congratulations, you have combined two of the finest aspects of TGR - unfounded but sanctimonious smugness, and listless "I skied today" photography! Usually I see one...
