Hack Job
Well that was fun. Straightchuter.com was somehow hacked yesterday, but thanks to the efforts of Valentin Secades M. from Costa Rica and his trusty associates, it is now back in action. For some reason it allowed people to register new websites under the straightchuter umbrella, so there are now staitchtters, straitshooters, str8tshtrs and many other […]
The Dying Art of Slideshows
I had a great time last night showing some “slides” at the Mountain Hardwear store in Portland, Oregon. A year ago, I told a skiing buddy I was giving a slideshow and he responded “Oh gawd – you still do those? I haven’t given one for years.” Truth be told, they take a lot of time and effort […]
Travel to the Northwest
I’m heading up to the Northwest from Monday afternoon through new Sunday, so StraightChuter updates may be spotty. The first stop is in Portland on Tuesday night for a Mazama’s Club presentation at the Mountain Hardwear store.

Skiing this Morning – report to follow

Our Ship Comes In!
OH MAN! After a day of waiting, our ship came in all the way from the Artic right at sunset (a relative term, as sunset lasts about six hours down here..) in a full blaze of glory. It is roughly 300′ and has a nice blue hull with a white upper level – a beauty. […]
Andrew off to Antarctica
Not only is the website still not showing pictures, but Andrew has left the country and the continent. He is off to ski with Ice Axe Expeditions down in Antarctica on a 110 person cruise ship. Sounds like a great trip, cruise, stop to ski and then get back on to the boat with all […]
StraightChuter’s Hot New Look
Pfft – who needs graphics? The computer Gods are having some sort of problems, and for the time being, straightchuter.com will be out of commission until it is fixed. Thanks for your patience. Andrew
