She only wrote 2 books. I have no idea about the Baker area.

I guess this is as good a place as any. The first mention I know of the BDT was in Sally Portman's book, so I figure she gets credit for naming it, (or not). BTW, stop in Winthrop, throw some money...

Schralph, I figured he did it wrong, 11 posts and all, so I went to the website and saw the 7:17 long vid, hmmmmm. Clicked on it and saw scenery shots of Teanaway valley, bison, and the Methow.

Koots/Karter, you are a very good skier. Nice video.

How do chicks dig the 'stache/flavor-saver?

FYI a summary: One can still ski from the car at the hairpin. It's very jungle-like at Blue Lake TH, if that's your sort of thing, (ain't mine). If you ski Madison Ave. stay skiers right to avoid...

"Do you do drugs Danny?"
"Every day"
"Good"

Dude, I'll have turned all the decent lines to bump runs by then.

Big S. is right, lots o' snow left, and the debris in Spire is finally smoothing out. I skied Thursday, Friday, Sunday and Monday at the pass. A buddy in spire on Monday:...

^^^WTF? So weak. Go away.

Hey Scott tilde, lift some weights.

The best bang for the buck is to skin up Spire. I like to skin since it's easier on my knees. I also like to climb what I ski, (I usually drive up and ski Hinkhouse or Spire for a quick one), and...

Pass opens tomorrow at noon.
Looking down Spire:

Hey - Park normal:...

I just logged on to say thanks to you guys for showing me around. I had a blast. Come visit, and I'll return the favor.

I'll try to come out for LBD, so you guys can give me shit for my 209s.

My buddy Peter who works there said he didn't think anyone got out on Sunday. Djou?

Deeeeeep:

Nice view of where...

I just got here last night, and awoke to 3.5" of not that light in the driveway. You prolly timed this about perfect. It's getting warm already here, but at the pass and at Silver Star, etc. it...

Dust on crust.

Hey Big Steve, Methow Valley Pursuit this weekend.

Nice Hop. I like the pole point to the guy in the red coat. "Go that way I'm not stopping!"

My dog is named after a Labrador that worked at Jackson Hole that found my friend's ski that flung off a track into the woods. We told patrol, and they searched with Kedar, and he found it right...

Drove over last night, and still not enough snow. Maybe a foot deep at the road.

BTW, that little cliff lookers left of the couloir was where Morrison did a big backflip in "Under the Influence" at 2:35:

Too lumpy then, and it's less now.

Jesus, Scotsman you're like a Labrador knocking shit off the coffee table with your tail. It's not going to get cold till Sunday, and it won't be enough to cover the rocks. If there's a secret...

I tried to tell you, and the hairpin is only 36 miles from my driveway.
