Kurt Knisely wrote: I took my first Avy class from Rod. Nice guy. He never mentioned surface hoar as being depth hoar. They're different crystals (although they can form under similar conditions--usually there are near surface facets under the surface hoar). Depth hoar is cupped crystals near the ground. Since the buffonery was over the concept of sublimation of the existing crystals being buried as we speak, I called Kanzler a minute ago. He was Head Avalanche Forecaster at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort for 16 years before Bob Comey took over. Sublimation occurs through out the snow pack. klaus denigrating me for publishing that *fact* must have been a reflection of his misserable, loney existance, eh? Sucrosic is an adjective that describes loose, unconsolodated crystals as appearing like sugar. That's why they call it sugar snow. Or near surface facets, or radiational recrystalization or depth hoar...not sucrosic. So sucrosic, (not *sucrotic*) is acceptable english everywhere in the educated world but here? Even you don't believe that. Correct yourself. I'm not responsible for the errors of your ignorance. -- According to John Perry Barlow, "Jeff Davis is a truly gifted trouble-maker." |

His love of the Black Diamond Pitbull binding may have been, uh "sucrotic" IMHO, but I had my share of pointed sticks poked at me, most of time for a very good reason or another. Sucrosic. "Sucrotic," demonstrtates his obtuse ignorance. As does his limited comprehension of sublimation. His attack was surprising considering the veracity of my publication. Makes me suspect he has unresolved personal problems. My final word of advice, take an Avy course, and if you have done that, take it again, or a second level Avy course. You are getting raked over the coals because you are using the terminology incorrectly, or your avalanche forecasting is well.... like a depth hoar layer....Weak. I just called Ratty Kanzler, my Avy mentor. My _Avalanche_Handbook_ has "Kanzler," written across the cover. He lent me his, and I bought him a new one. You guys are so ****ed up, you had me wondering if *I* was talking ****. The whole attack klaus instituted on my contention that the loose surface hoar crystals would *not* sublime, but the weak layer would resolve itself makes me suspect his reading comprehension. He's obviously bigotted, jumping to a conclusion before comprehending my statement. My final word of advice is don't defend an obtusely ignorant bigot, klaus. -- According to John Perry Barlow, "Jeff Davis is a truly gifted trouble-maker." |

klaus wrote: (Notice no mention of the mechanism you contend, buried surface hoar) I published a statement that I didn't think the buried surface hoar crystals would sublime. Kanzler just told me on the phone that that mechanism of action is transforming the snow pack continiously. I was on solid ground. Then you got into this denigration thing... Note, depth hoar IS NOT BURIED SURFACE HOAR, although according to Bruce Tremper, that mistaken nomenclature is made by old, rural geezers. Is that you??? I brought up the mechanism of sublimation of the buried surface hoar crystals, which you vehemently refuted. The depth hoar discussion came later, driven, it seems, by your mistaken beliefs you didn't check before you started typing. I'll see if any other authors consider hoar snow buried in the snow pack depth hoar before I concede any points to you on *that* mater. They have their place,[pits] but there are other things that are more important to backcountry travel safety. When you get out enough and watch the snow on a daily basis, the pit doesn't tell you a whole lot you don't already know, especially when you have such a great resource as the forecast center. I dig plenty of pits when I need to or if it's a day when the forecast center needs the info. But usually, I just know where things are going to be safe and go there. If it's questionable, I usually avoid it. I get out enough that I don't have to put myself in dangerous situations that I don't already know about when I walk out the door. That's how you stay alive. You may want to try it. Here's an entire paragraph I agree with, I don't need convinced to try it. Be careful out there, eh? It's more important than having fun. You too. I'm sticking to trade routes. Granite slid yesterday and buried some guy with the exception of his hand. His buddies dug him out. That's a north aspect, you may already know. There's some stuff I'm waiting for, maybe next week, maybe a little longer, depending on what I see. 23, 46, what's the difference? A discourse like we just had steels us both. I wrote some snide stuff before I read this. Thanks for moving me toward calling Ratty. It's a good time for he and I to get together. And I enjoy knocking heads with you. Next time I won't get personal and stick to the issues. -- According to John Perry Barlow, "Jeff Davis is a truly gifted trouble-maker." |

"Jeff Davis" wrote in message .. . So sucrosic, (not *sucrotic*) is acceptable english everywhere in the educated world but here? I dug my big footrest dictionary out from under the desk. No entry for sucrosic. Dictionary.com asks "Do you mean sucrose?" So I googled on "definition sucrosic". Google asks "Do you mean sucrose?" followed by several geological websites containing the word. As for the educated world, it seems to be a term commonly used by geologists. |
