Thanks for the correction. "always climb the couloir" does not mean always, it depends on whether it is extreme. Didn't mean to imply the terrain is similar. It does seem odd to me that...
When I was younger, I had taken to heart Anselme Baud's words in Peter Cliff's 1987 book on ski mountaineering. I took a 20 year break from downhill bc skiing and when I started paying atten...
Nice, I haven't been there in years. Do you mind my asking how you went in? Satus Pass or up from Goldendale? I've only been in the Satus Pass way but I wonder about the other wa...
You're right Marcus, I was skijoring my "B" team in that photo. They are more gentle pullers so I can safely go with three of them. The "A" team are two stronger a...
Nick and Alan, good show! Nick is turning into quite the ski mountaineer.Nothing on this end, so I have to live it vicariously. Lots of sailing though, which is only a few minutes away, so...
That is really awesome! Thanks for the report. -20 is about my limit. I'm glad they let you use metal edges.
Alan, lemme know if they ever want to try it out, on skis, runners or wheels, anytime ...
Howdy ron j,It may not seem that way but they listen and take commands when they are running. At 2:08 in the second vid you can hear me call "gee" and they peeled off to the right towa...
Hi Alan, can you drop me an email? huskyrunnr"nospamplease"@msn.comI'm using a Yaesu VX-7R. I have it set up where it can run off AA's, 1.4 Ah rechargeable LiIon packs,...
I often let my dogs chew the snowballs out of their toes. Problem is, they deplete their fur of its oils so the problem gets worse and we get slower and slower...If not booties then the commerci...
Thats great to hear! They're fairly intractable at that age.Its really easy to make your own lines and save money. Mike Callahan has a nice how-to article here:http://skijor.hypermart.net/...
So, how did the skijoring part go?
It doesn't sound like hairshirt asceticism to me. Very nice.
Hi Alan, Darland Mtn. and Ahtanum R. headwaters come down from Klickton divide which hooks up to the Goat Rocks. I have not tried to get into Old Snowy. The FS made the only reasonable app...
No, the Mexican equivalent of PBR! I vaguely recall a photo of Sky holding one in one of the TR's on his site- before it was refurbished.Of course, I could be going off on another flight of fanc...
PBR? What happened to Tecate? ;D
But how were the boots?
This was our May trip when I was at U of O. I posted this a couple years ago on the 'other' site. It may break some unwritten brotherhood code on this site, but what the heck, I'll live da...
Phil, here's a shot of Aix, or at least that part of Nelson Ridge that leads to Aix:Just looking at Green Trails, there are a few chutes that reach clear to the valley floor, and that was also my impr...
There are chutes galore for those inclined/ capable- easily accessible. Aix and the ridge shoot up directly from the valley floor so there is potential even right there from the TH- very steep s...
Yeah, I was buzzed on Friday, a little after noon. Wonder if it was the same pilot? McChord AFB? Those are impressive maneuvers, eh?Preceeding that, the snowplow operator came by. &n...
Wouldn't that be the "Eldridge Detritus"?
russ, thanks!!! I get confused sometimes.Mark, always with good advice, thank you too.
Fill me in. Is this partly a joke or partly an object lesson, or both? ???
Can't wait for pics! Some day I'll go there by dog/human power via Snow Brushy Ck.
Hey Big Snow! We'd love to get together with you and Little Snow for a trip sometime. More on this later, but we had a litter of 6 husky pups and by next year, we should consider a dog-sup...
My 2 cents is that it would never occur to me to use a site like this to glean avy info. Rather, my primary interest is in learning about routes that I was unaware of, be it front, back, or side...
Wow, what's next, neve penitentes in the Cascades? ???
I see it with Mac OS 9, Netscape Communicator 4.73.I just assumed it was an expression of faith. ;D
Yes Charles, correct on both counts. ÊI'd try going in at four corners towards Potato Hill and travel the margin between the lava flow and Muddy Fork R. ÊThanks for the additional info on the Garden....
