SkiSickness: March 2007
http://skisickness.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
If any of you have time to peruse this new website that's taken embarrassing amounts of my time (link below), I'd appreciate heads-ups about any funny business. Hopefully it works well in all newish browsers. On a related note, IE really sucks, but I think I have that dialed. Much more should follow. I want to do some really neat stuff with the new regional pages that will link from the main map at some point in the future. But that will have to wait. First, content. Buenas tardes y gracias,. Please don'...

SkiSickness: February 2007

The southern slopes of Red Mountain had more than adequate powder. Lefty tries not to leave any. Posted by SkiSickness at 6:44 PM. Yes folks, more and more powder. Dave and Ben enjoy a well-placed skintrack. Phil teles in the deep stuff. The topo geekery continues, with a new era of consensus and numbers loved by Lefty. More routes, anyone?

Looks like Davenport, Beidelman, and Mahon just had a sweet ski descent off the Grand Teton. Congratulations, guys! Http:/ www.tetonat.com/. One wonders where they're heading next. nevermind, the end of the TR says they went home. Nice work, though. Posted by SkiSickness at 2:13 PM. I wanted to do a "big day" today. But it just didn't feel right late last night. So we changed plans, aiming for a nice morning on Red instead. At North Bend, I had forgotten the Lovely's skis. So sorry! Without much debate, ...

SkiSickness: August 2007
http://skisickness.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Just north of Whistler, is the highest peak in BC's Garibaldi Provincial Park. Drive time is under five hours from Seattle. Last Friday, Dan and I had absolutely perfect new August corn skiing Wedge's Northeast Arête. It just so happens that myriad other peaks near 9,000 ft are within another one to two hours north. What am I thinking? Posted by SkiSickness at 10:09 AM. I asked if these two psychopaths could not be cured. "Cured? Goss said. "Would you cure a singer of his voice? To climbing season (.

West McMillan and Ski Sickness. This photo, by "Fatboy" Jason Hummel, does a good job capturing the essence of "Ski Sickness.". Here is a photo by aerial afficionado John Scurlock that shows the skier's lofty perch:. See more of John's stunning work at http:/ www.pbase.com/nolock. Posted by SkiSickness at 11:26 AM. West McMillan Spire Sickness. Remember this post: Fall Influenza. Well, dreams come true. Read about a ski descent from a summit in the Southern Picket Range:. Posted by SkiSickness at 1:38 PM.

Bouldering: The Ski-Sick Version. Never really wanted to climb the Boulder Glacier. Why? Because it's right next to the Boulder-Park Cleaver, a fabulous route that is nearly crevasse-free to 9,200' on the beautiful Baker's Horn. Also, the Boulder Glacier is the most lahar-prone place on the cornucopia 'cano. But after finding myself half way up it from poor navigation in a whiteout, I was happy to climb a new route and escape the jour blanc. Thanks for a great day, Baldwin and Christophe! Got 'em, Coach.

Let's Ski Mount Robson. July 1997 photo ganked from here:. Let's go climb it ASAP - worst case we'll have a grand adventure. From what I gather, weather is the real bitch about Robson. The forecast looks bomber for Wednesday/Thursday. Leave Tuesday night? Dan, Hummel, ANYBODY? Http:/ www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/city/pages/ab-70 metric e.html. Http:/ www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/city/pages/bc-13 metric e.html. If it's icy, we can try it again in September/October if another window comes after some early season snow.

Crouching Squirrel Hidden Monkey: September 2007
http://crouchingsquirrelhiddenmonkey.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Crouching Squirrel Hidden Monkey. Oregon trails 'n tales. Tuesday, September 25, 2007. Lycra vs. Lava. And the winner is. Lava! All injuries appear to be superficial - the knee is most problematic, but pain is minimal as is the bleeding, and it seems biomechanically sound. So all I've got here is a sh! Load of pain - so I can keep riding - it's just mind over matter, right? Manage to fight through it and actually have a good time, though I'm more tentative on the technical sections which is not good....

Crouching Squirrel Hidden Monkey: June 2007
http://crouchingsquirrelhiddenmonkey.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Crouching Squirrel Hidden Monkey. Oregon trails 'n tales. Friday, June 29, 2007. It's the last race of the 6-race series. Best 4 results count, and I was sitting precariously in third place. Now there's at least half-a-dozen racers in my Expert 40 class that are a level beyond me in fitness, and usually finish 10-15 minutes faster in a 2.5 hour race. And they all showed up today! Thursday, June 21, 2007. I do the foggy, rocky twisting downhill run for the third and final time - and have a nice little cra...
