January 28th, 2010 Justin The Deeper crew swing another episode from the back seat of their Jeeps. Dunno, the more I see these teasers the more I’m thinking I just want to see quick cut scenes of people hitting a cheesewedge while MGMT (wait, the tight jeans/hipster meets hippy 80s synth redux thing is dead? Fine, let’s go old [...]
Stats I missed on that Sunday Hood avalanche
January 27th, 2010 Justin Missed this blurb on the Meadows site talking about the Sunday Wy’east avalanche. * Slope distance travelled: 14,500 feet, 6,000 meters or about 2.75 miles from start to finish. * Elevation lost: 5,400 feet from the crown at around the 10,650 foot level to the “toe” at the 5,240 foot level. * Width of the [...]
Deeper Plugged Ep. 4
January 26th, 2010 Justin Another thing that seperates contenders from pretenders – 9000 foot vert overnight hikes.
It’s Outdoor Retailer time
January 26th, 2010 Justin …and all the verbal pro blogzillas were at the show, checking out the new gear, while us linguistically challenged blogapers stay home and read their prose. A few new gadgets and doohickeys to enhance your mountain douchebaggery are below. The Ortovox 3+ transceiver Yes, I’m not kidding, someone in the blogosphere wrote about something that’s [...]
Spark R&D Fuse binding in stock at Snocon
January 25th, 2010 Justin Was pissing away some time this morning, dreaming of having three spare benjis to drop on splitboard bindings, when I saw that they are actually IN STOCK at Snocon. Pretty much everyplace is sold out of these (I mean hell, the guys at Spark are sold out of them themselves!), so if you’re in the [...]

January 22nd, 2010 Justin Alrighty, it’s been a long time since I’ve written up an actual beer friday post – though as my burgeoning belt line and pepperoni moobs will attest to it’s not for a lack of drinking new beers. Figure I’ll start this out with a recent one that sticks out in my mind, though not necessarily [...]
“The next time you’re planning a trip to the backcountry…
January 21st, 2010 Justin your enthusiasm sparked by some glossy coffee-table book picturing snowcapped peaks under perfect blue skies, you would do well to keep in mind whence that glorious snowpack came. It is the nature of mountains to wring from the winds what moisture they happen to be carrying. This you already know, of course, if not from [...]
OFF-TOPIC: Pete Carroll packing for Seattle (and a bonus ski vid after)
January 20th, 2010 Justin This video wasn’t even funny, but as I’m 1) a UW fan and 2) a Seahawks fan I’m posting it. Gotta think he’s getting out of USC right as it’s about to get hard what with the NCAA finally investigating all their alleged recruiting violations. Umm….to bring it somewhat on snow topic I’d say if [...]

January 18th, 2010 Justin Saw this article over on discovery.com today. Snippet below, click here to read in it’s entirety. The use of live animals in scientific research has long been a testy subject (right out the gate with a pun, hm?), but ongoing experiments on lab mice don’t seem to grab too many headlines anymore. No, it takes [...]
