On standby for an answer to this question.

As always, great pics.

Baller

Coordinates of that camp spot?

Baller

I've got a quick question. On a garden variety run, how long do you guys stay out? Is there a time you shoot for for being out of the snow and on the road home? Thanks.

Baller

Just stumbled upon these and was wondering what you all think. Discuss...

Pics to follow for this run I hope.

I've got work this weekend but, wish I could make it. Please keep posting runs. I'd love get out on a run with some of the people here.

Phenominal pictures. I need to get out of the subdivision and in to the backcountry, sooner rather than later.

Baller

What we need are a full scale set of these tires.

As Goldilocks would say, Hwy 2 is a bit too far south for me and Hwy 542 is a bit far north. Hwy 20 is just right. Maybe I'll just have to drive the back roads to find out for myself. On a similar note, I found this page that has some good info on road conditions/closures. They don't have every FS r...

The SnoTel site seems to be lacking sensors from Hwy 20 south to Mountain Loop Hwy and I5 east to Hwy 530/Moutain Loop Hwy. Bummer Great work on the Snow Science page, nonetheless. It's a great resource.

For the sake of not wasting time searching the interweb, is there a site, or sites, you guys look to for current snow levels? Maybe different snow levels at different elevations at different places in the Cascades?

Baller

I'm quite certain they are. So, will they replace them with an updated model or bring in some other snow tool/impliment? A little buyers remorse is setting in thinking they will bring in a better model.

Baller

I noticed the shovels were $XX.79. I wonder if this will be it for the season or if they are going to be getting in an improved/updated model?

thanks for the heads up, Need to get those shovels. Just don't expect too much. I might buy a set for the kids so I don't have to worry about them trashing my voile shovel. LIfeline Shovel Test I appreciate the demonstration of jumping on the shovels but, it doesn't prove anything functional. If on...

Let me know. GPS? Phones? If phones, what is your app of choice? Personally, I have an iPhone 4 and use MotionX-GPS. It seems to work well for what I do. Very easy to create/plan tacks at home on a PC using Google Maps, converting them then importing them to the app. Interested to hear what other pe...

This is an old thread but, I am looking forward to what Costco stocks this coming year. I'd really like to get into snowshoeing. $70 per kit is very doable. Below is all the have online at the moment. I hope they end up getting something in the stores at a lower price point. Baller http://t.costco.c...

I heard it was an easy hike too. Yah, I surely wouldn't call it easy. I also, though, wouldn't call it hard. I would still take my two oldest, I would just prepare them for it. Jeeps are great, I just have to root for the home team. ;) To be honest, I've got some skeletons in my closet as it pertai...
