Thanks Jim. I tried to post it like that, but I'm not computer savvy, so it turned out as a link. So, how do you do that?

Hi, Zip,

You have to click on "Img" instead of "URL."

Bluerail always photoshops his stuff, thats why Fern never wants to look at the "camera"! How else can he still manage a smile in the midst of hip-deep fluff on 50+ degree faces ready to come off!
I do like the new look with the Flashdance" leg-warmers with photoshoped cramp-ons!
It must take a long time to "make" a avalanche video in the studio, but Where the Hell is it!

Dear Steve,

Nice special effects, but real snow looks like this (click to enlarge):

Here is a video of the Snow Creek avalanche taken from the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. Hopefully bluerail can post the video he took after jumping out of the way.

yesterday, after wondering what happened to L.A. Dave and Scott (?names),and the incredible amount of pain and work I have seen people go through on this route, someone mentioned to me that maybe we have been making snowcreek look too easy by doing it repeatedly weekend after weekend. It looks like Dave and Scott didnt even get through the approach.....anybody that is thinking this is an easy route needs to do more fucking homework. Don't just look at some pictures. Please.

Sorry to be so blunt everyone, but this is very real...it is EXTREMELY hard.

Fernando and I have issues.
