That's extra spice. Derek, I think I've skittered across that exact same pair of bendy, icy logs. How about pointers for scaling the undercut far bank snow mushroom? They've prompted me to pass up otherwise reasonable crossings in BCC a few times. Who’s seen the Chic Scott photo of skinning the half-submerged log jam across the melt swollen river?

Better than the usual things they run, though it's all fascinating. ANYHOW, i live in LA, don't ski anymore, because I'm old and the risk of breaking a bone is too great, so I stick to the pool, but I find all of this 'interesting.' I HOPE you do not take unnecessary risks. I watched Bode Miller ski last night and i had to say it seemed to me he was totally 'in tune'. Sorry for the new age observation, but I figure you all must understand the concept. I read the VOWS/STYLE section of the NYT every Sunday and
