But dude, the same people live here year 'round. Hope you're getting

Problem is, your "extraordinary" ski community morphs into an
"extraordinary" tourist trap come spring.

I consider community to be the people who live here. Yes, 4 1/2 Million
people come here every year who wish they had what it takes to live here.
Then again, those visitor's cars look like a little tiny trail of ants from
12,000'. There are a lot of places besides the Exum hut on the lower saddle
to bivy and climb. Those 4 1/2 million visitors make it extremely easy to
make money here. Extremely easy.

But unpretentious, right?

Yeah. We're Wyoming boys. It don't get more down to earth than that.

Am I supposed to be impressed?

No. You are supposed to be skiing this fabulous snow since the Pineapple
Express set up. I do. Up to my knees in the back country. South east
aspects are bonding. I'm not jumping into any steep north facing aspects
for a while. Route finding and familiarity with the terrain are paying off.
The tourists are well advised to hire a guide this weekend.

Convicted what, wacko?

You were convicted, in court, of being an asshole, and sentenced to
one year of banishment from this newsgroup.

Wrong again, asshole. Your sick buddies lied.
Assholes hide in anonymity and spew filth. Asshole. Assholes lie about
what happened and don't tell the truth. Asshole.
Anytime, bitch.

You WERE convicted, and sentenced to banishment. Face the truth.

Convicted of what, asshole?
Lie, lie, and lie again. Asshole. Anytime, bitch.

Jeff, Jeff. Been there ten times or so. Never wished I had what it takes
to live there. I love where I live. I have no desire to live in an
isolated ski town with a bunch of mountain freaks: I find them shallow and
self-absorbed.

Yeah, but you gotta kiss tourist ass.

Then why did you say it? Buried surface hoar will never sublime. It's
impossible. It may go "sucrotic". (I still laugh everytime I think of
that word.)

You will find a robust discussion of sublimation on pages 47 and 161 in
McClung and Schaerer's _The_Avalanche_Handbook_. Buried surface hoar is
depth hoar. That's Newcomb's take on it, (Rod, not Mark, albeit the younger
Newcomb shares that contention). Sucrosic is an adjective that describes
loose, unconsolodated crystals as appearing like sugar. I've stuck my
fist in a layer of loose, unconsolodated, snow crystals, buried under hard,
consolidated snow slab.


Whatever, but you don't know **** about the triple point of water. Or,
it appears, snowpack or thermodynamics.

0 degrees C. Interesting that you bring that up since the vapor pressure
differential drives subliminal recrysalization. Did you know that the
saturation vapor pressure, (with respect to ice), in the pore space of a
snowpack increases by more than 300% as air temperature increases from
-15 to 0 degrees C?

You don't give a **** what the most experienced ski guides say. You don't
give a **** about snow pits. You skin into obscurity. Fine. Arrogance
has lead many to ski off into oblivion.

Any time you want to demonstrate your obtuse ignorance, I'm more than
happy to avail you the opportunity. Try to have fun klaus.

But less about c*nts.

It's hard enough to get laid in a mountain town without you talking like
that. Where the **** do you think you are? Chamonix?

What do you do when you get a hard-on in your racing tights?

I'm sure it depends on whether it's his or somebody elses.

I don't wear racing tights, or underwear. I like days like today when the
powder is blowing between my legs giving me a hard on underneath my
Mountain Hardwear Windstopper Tech pants and my Mountian Hardwear FTX Ultra
Gore-Tex XCR on top. Then I have to ski with my dick poking me in the
belly button.

Today was a good day in the back country. The Avalanche Hazard was high.
The visibility was poor. Didn't see any tourists out there snooping around.
Everybody I saw was geared up and ready. No body skied or rode over the top
of me. The slough got outragous racing me down the fall line.

Yep. It was a Woody day alright.

Puppets again. Did somebody crosspost to alt.sex.puppets?
How long before Mr. Garrison and Mr. Hat show up?

You see where this is going, don't you?

No Kitty! This is *MY* pot pie. Thanks for making "Jackson Hole Sucks"
the #1 subject thread on rec.skiing.alpine- And I'm not even a recreational
skier! Thanks! And try to have fun.

OK, this calls for elaboration. I assume his knowledge of "snow
dynamics" ensues from treating victims of the dreaded "Ski pants crotch
split under strain on a deep snow day Doc - help!" syndrome?

I take it you get right coast babes in stretch pants out there in
Kreitlerville too. Or is is Squallywood, isn't that Heavenly. A
day at the beach! Getting deep in the "Hole." You?
