He has a point And out goes skiiing season. Mammoth still has snow. We got some freinds lined up for babysitting in a month.  Nice. I think we're taking the boys on one last boarding trip.... And after that it's probably all going to be BC on Shasta. Should be plenty of snow still everywhere. The weather only stopped pounding us last week. We're going to try to go local here soon. Wife found a babysitter who's avaliable all week. Course her dad is scheduled for knee replacement Wed, so she wants to go up town Th to see him. But if we could get out early next week, that would be sweet.
gotta get a TR from Josh for the WW thread. That thread is gonna keep going or my name ain't Yooooooosemiteeeeeeee Sssssam!

Here's the info from MP on late parking passes at RR:
Larry on MP wrote: ***** LATE EXIT PASSES ***** It is easy to be late returning to your car, and the tickets are EXPENSIVE. The BLM has a "Late Exit" system in place to allow climbers extra time before they must exit the scenic loop road. Full details are on the BLM recording at 702-515-5050. Here's what to do: Call the LATE EXIT RECORDING at 702-515-5050. You can call up to seven days prior to your climb. If you can get a cell phone signal (but don't count on this), you can call as late as 4:00 p.m. on the day of your climb. Be prepared to recite the following information to the answering machine: 1. Your name and address 2. Vehicle license number and description 3. Type of pass (late exit or overnight) 4. Intended date of climb 5. Route name 6. Parking area 7. Your phone number ALL information must be left or NO PERMIT WILL BE ISSUED! All climbers should take advantage of this excellent resource. Any number of unexpected things can cause you to run late on a climb. Don't let your trip get ruined with an expensive, but avoidable, parking ticket |

It's kind of like having a crag just up the road. Makes it much easier to make the activity part of your weekly routine. And one of the main benefits to me is the slopes are under 30 degrees, very warm/consolidated snow pack, and extremely well anchored. Avys are almost impossible. I don't have a beacon, so I can't play with the big dogs up in Lassen National Park. Skiing aside, if your going to be doing winter ascents and what not, you might want to invest in one of those. Oh it's on the list. Only thing is that we just bought my AT gear, my WFR is coming up in May (another $680.00 aside from lost time at work) and now I'm talking about a three hundred dollar beeping box.
But think about how much of a waste it would be if your not around long enough to get your monies worth out of that new gear.

That picture reminds me of a quick story.
The last time we went out skiing I got on a two person chair lift only to find myself stuck with a guy determined to take up as much room as possible. Legs are splayed. Skis are way across my buffer zone. And he's just sitting there oblivious. I REALLY wanted to say "Hey, Dude, stop sitting like a whore, put your legs together and stay on your side of the chair!"
...but I didn't say it.

It was pretty straight up and down, but was really easy terrain.

You gotta wonder about people sometimes, "oblivious" is definitely the right word for it.
And your story reminds me of another story. On occasion, three of us guys would ride in the same truck to work and take turns sitting in the middle. Well a friend of mine has a big build and he could never keep his legs together in his "section" of the cab when he was middle man. We used to give him all kinds of shit about it and one day he got pissed and grabbed a bungee cord from under the seat and tied is knees together.
It was years ago but the mental image of him riding down the road with a scowl on his face, knees securely bungeed together, still cracks me up.

Still a FAIL. Nothing NSFW about that particular picture. I did see a few topless beach pics of here while finding that one but this isn't the daily breast thread so...
