I'm so tired of seeing photos be uploaded by people looking for attention. Many times these people do not even post on NS, they just upload pictures. In the vast majority of cases, it seems to be young girls who obviously are not getting enough attention on Myspace. For instance-...

Mountain Hardware Big Bang Sl Size Long (I think it fits up to 6'6''). 600 fill down. Comes with stuff sack and storage sack. Retails for about $360. I'd like to get $185 for it. I've had this bag for about a year and a half but I have taken excellent care of it. I haven't used it that much...

So, I have a titanium plate and 6 scews in my left clavicle. When the weather is about to seriously change in the near future (generally 24-36 hours out) it starts to hurt. I thought it was bullshit when I heard people talking about things like this before my injury last year, but now it...

For those of you who are from or go to Telluride a lot- What are the rules on the free gondola? Could I get on with my skis and then hike over to another lift and ski for free? (Like at Highlands where they let you hike halfway up to a midway lift and then ski for free?)

Well, Colorado didn't quite legalize marijuana this time. There were still a ton of votes in favor. I think it is really a matter of time. It is important to note the counties that did vote in favor of the measure- Boulder County, Summit County (where A Basin, Keystone, Breck, and Copper are)...

Anybody know what Breck will have open this weekend? I'm assuming it will be a couple runs on Peak 9. Also, anybody know if Keystone will have night skiing?

Who the hell goes trick or treating with a two year old in a neighborhood made populated 100% by college students? We heard a knock at the door so we instantly say "Come in" thinking it is a friend or something, without the thought of trick or treaters even crossing our minds. Then all the...

Anybody know how sessions fits? I'm about to buy some online. It says large pants are for a 36-38 waist. I have a 34 waist so I assume large would be sufficiently baggy. I don't want to rock the "gangster steeze" as I will be using them for backcountry.

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...

I just broke up a Crunch bar and put it on top of a full King Soopers Blueberry Pie. I don' t think this is something that humans are meant to experience.

Fuckin souless ginger kid completes a touchdown pass with 1 minute left. GAY GAY and GAY

This band is so so good. Bluegrass/folk/kinda jambandish. Ho ahead and look them up. You will know who they are someday, so I thought I'd be the first to make a thread about them.

The necessary step that I had to take was beyond my control at the time. I needed to grow and experience a new form of reality and a new consciousness. I could no longer be held back by what I percieved to be anchoring me to the beliefs/life/consciousness I was experiencing so I made the...

Disclaimer- this is probably one of the more politically incorrect things that I've written. The point is not to sound racist, but instead to get others to think about these things in a wider view than they may realize is possible. Yes I realize that these people in the current events are from...

Probably the biggest one I've had since choosing what college to go to. Here it is- I have the opportunity to go to a remote area in Patagonia for a month this December/January for a mountaineering expedition with some climbing partners. We'd be attempting some first ascents (climbing unclimbed...

The trailer for Warren Millers "Off the Grid" has Jamie Pierre's huck in it. Have they been sharing footage for while now or is this new? www.warrenmiller.com to see the trailer.

My job for the summer that is. I've lead five wilderness trips in the past five weeks. -Thousans of miles driven in a 15 passenger van. -Many, many miles hiked. -Dozens of miles rafted on several rivers here in Colorado. -A total of 62 kids who have been on my trips. -700 pounds of meat fed...

It is 102 degrees in Boulder! It's record breaking heat, and I have no AC. I'm sitting here sweating my balls off in my apartment. I have a digital thermomteter on the wall that tells the inside temp. It's 85 degrees in here. I'm also broke, so buying a swamp cooler or AC isn't gonna happen...

One could argue that WW2 was in effect an attempt to settle the unfinished business from WW1 (Alsace-Lorraine, German humiliation, etc). If this whole thing in the middle east blows up into a war including Iran, it will be because of unfinished business with WW2 (Israel being created in the...
