Pete's Peril is ine of my favorites. They'd better not mess it up.

Wait.... what? How have I not noticed this? Are you sure? Did it just get buried so quickly last winter I forgot about it? Although... it's always so wind scoured up top there I doubt that could happen.

Good to know your ski line is more important than patroller safety

You think they put it where it's scoured? Perhaps why you shouldn't comment on operations.

Anybody know where I can buy mortar rounds?

Yes

BayJay,

Thanks for your response. As per your request I have re-read what you wrote. I see that you were originally concerned that the gasex had been buried. (Which is correct, they had to dig it out multiple times). You then go on to discount that theory by saying, "Although....it's always so wind scoured up top there I doubt that could happen." I apologize for any misunderstanding.

Yeah, I went to a friend's wedding there and it was amazing in the summer, including the huge hot tub built into the granite rock outcrop next to the main house. The new website for skiing is whack though. I'd love to spend a long weekend there with sleds. The mini golf behind the house could be fun. The website description is ridiculous though. Half of the photos are from there, or look like they could be taken from there, but half are definitely not from the site. There is no sauna with a view of the west side of Thunder Mountain. And two hours of Hobbs time to fly to the Buttes could be the equivalent cost of at least four heli-ski runs.

Anybody going to the MSP premiere Wednesday night at Squaw? I'll be there -- look for a grey Flylow cap. AKB might be joining too, would be good to see some fellow mags.

While your at it, stop being a whiney cunt. And ya, I prefer hand charges to gasex pretty much anywhere, but we all know they aren't getting put in for "safety"

Please elaborate on how gasex placement on high yellow isn't primarily for safety.

My point was, I didn't remember seeing it "up top" last season as had been suggested, then realized it must be tucked lower down since the top is always wind scoured anyway. I didn't deeply elaborate because no one (except you, apparently) gives a shit about picking over minute details and it was an offhand comment on an internet forum. I also said nothing whatsoever about operations - I don't give a fuck anyway since this year I bailed on the over-sold shitshow Squawlpine has become.

I prefer the 75mm recoiless rifle. chute 75 was named after some 75 mm artillery piece that used to be up there.

Damn man. Hope you and the fam escaped with your homes and lives intact.

My next door neighbor is a Santa Rosa FF, and grew up there. He knows dozens of people who have lost their homes. Tragic. Anyway, as they say, +++++vibes+++++ to all the Santa Rosa/Sonoma folks who've lost everything. Hope no mags were affected.
