    North Korean Performs 1st Nuclear Test

    My roommate was just talking about what to do with North Korea and Iran. His idea- Through clandestine operations set off small nukes in the facilities they are using to produce nuclear weapons and say it was an accident. Not infallible, but it does eliminate many problems.

    Drawbacks of soft, flexy skis

    The biggest thing a stiff ski gives you is stability at speed. If tip deflection is a concern for you (ie, you don't want your ski to get bounced around if it hits chuncks of crud when it is going fast) you are going to want a stiffer ski. The stiffer it is, the less chatter you also get. If you...

    K2 Public Enemy vs Völk Karma

    A lot of this depends on where you mount them. The farther forward you mount either ski the more park specific it gets. But yeah, from my experience the Karma is more suited for all mountain than the PE. Both are good solid skis.

    Into the Wild

    Yeah I guess you might remember the thread from over a year ago where I had to turn back on Longs at the boulder field do to 75 mph winds and snow (I went back late season and summited with ice all over the mountain and without my mountaineering axe). It was cool to see how he had that burning...

    Into the Wild

    It's about a guy who pretty much decided to drop out of society and go on all these solo adventures. His last adventure was spending over 100 days alone in the Alaskan backcountry before he died from mysterious causes (I won't spoil the book). He had given away more than $20,000 to a charity...

    Into the Wild

    Has anyone read this book? I thought it raised some good questions. For those of you who have read it, I'm not trying to start a debate on whether or not McCandless was prepared for what he was doing or how stupid/smart he was. But does anyone else feel the need to run into the wilderness when...

    North Korean Performs 1st Nuclear Test

    None of this changes the premise of mutual assured destruction for major nuclear powers. North Korea just tested a bomb that was 1/12 the power of the Hiroshima bomb that we used 61 years ago. So they could destroy what? Fisherman's Wharf? One quarter of the front side of Vail? At worst a major...

    A Change Is In the Air

    As I type this, somewhere in Boulder the last defiant green leaf is surrendering to a power infinitely more powerful and turning yellow. Somewhere in Colorado a snowflake is falling. Snow advisories are in effect again. Skis are being mounted, waxed, and tuned. There is the all telling and...

    What are you gonna be for halloween?

    Haha nice. Pretty good idea. I was thinking about dressing up as a riot policeman, but that is kinda played. I'll probably just go to savers and see what there is for cheap or make some sort of costume out of the numerous 30 racks of PBR laying around my house.

    Simpsons Theory

    Yes, but Springfield is is also by the ocean. I'm pretty sure the whole point is that it isn't really a place.

    Fall Foliage

    They only do in certain conditions the farther south you go. For example, Texas only gets a good fall color year one out of every 4-6 years. I visited my brother down there and learned about it. The leaves are certainly magnificent out here in Colorado right now.

    Anyone ever make a fake seasons pass?

    By the way, if you want to ski for free, you can just hike up past the first lift. This works at most mountains, and on the Aspen ski map it even condones such practices. I have a friend who skied 30 something days in a year and didn't pay once because he would just hike every time at Vail and...

    Ski in utah

    Recommending inexperienced people (especially east coast people) ski backcountry is never a good idea. You need to know your shit, and you need to be with a crew that can dig each other out.

    Anyone ever make a fake seasons pass?

    Vail Resorts and Viacom went in on some kind of deal. Included in this deal is an MTV studio in the Eagles Nest at Vail and MTV concerts at Vail resorts, like Dashboard in Breck last winter. I personally don't want MTV and the trash it brings with it at Vail. I don't really want them at any...
