    Step it up, support the CIAC

    BC skiers in Colorado, you don't know how good we've got it. Many state don't have a staffed avi center making daily updates and forecasts. Despite been a government agency, they rely on private funding. There are many name I don't see on this list. Also, if you are affilianted with any organization (shop, school, club) interested in this type of thing, pressure them into donating. The FOBP will be on this list as soon as Strand gives me the check book.

    Once again it's time to send in your renewals. There are 2 catagories, 30 &
    45$, and of course we will accept more!
    Our mailing address is:
    CAIC
    325 Broadway WS1
    Boulder, CO 80305

    I am including a list (Further down) of people that have already re-upped,
    as of the10/25/04 mail drop-off at the Boulder office.
    You can get more details on our web page:
    CIAC
    Why renew?
    First, a pesky, weak, but strengthening, El Nino is acting up in the Pacific
    Ocean. What does that mean for our winter? Well, you can re-up and keep
    track through-out the winter of course!
    Second: There have already been a couple of human triggered slides in
    Colorado.
    The first was on October 18th on Mt Sheridan in the Mosquito Range. This one
    started at about 13,320 ft on a NNE aspect. It was from 10" to almost 2 ft
    deep at the crown. Hard slab on a convex roll, (36 degrees) ran around 800
    vertical ft, & ran to the ground, failed probably on a depth hoar layer. No
    one was hurt.
    The second was on "The Battleship" slide path near Silverton on October
    23rd. The Battleship is near Ophir Pass, this slide was around 500 ft wide,
    N aspect starting at about 12,300 ft. It ran 1,000 vertical ft, 1 ft deep.
    Looks to have failed at a depth hoar layer. No one was hurt.
    So avalanche season is upon us. The best way to keep up with the winter
    ahead, is to join the Friends of the CAIC. We are really trying to bump up
    our membership this season, so don't be afraid to sign up friends as a
    Christmas present, or even better, tell everyone how great the program is,
    and we'll get the word out to even more people.
    Thanx a bunch, & here's to a safe and big snow winter.

    Given that there are several folks hgere too cheap to join, but still mooch beer from CAIC festivities, would it be possible to donate to the CAIC in the name of a fallen comrade like Hans Saari?

    If some cheapskates here could contribute $5 or so instead of the $30, maybe the CAIC would get a bit more funding.

    To clarity Buster, regardless of whether you are a Friends member or not, you pay for the beer at the Avi Jam.

    That being said, I would coordinate any group donation to the CIAC.

    exactly. I know many of us could then afford it.

    actually, just thought o something. ..
    hey, buster, it's not like if they recieve our bucks in the mail, they're going to rip up the check for being too small.










    that's what they keep me round for here. the really big ideas. . .
    scroll to "Buy DVD", very bottom of page http://bhandf.com/bhandf%202008/longform.htm I do not work for Bill, just dig his work.

    Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. (It) is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. . .There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so. . .people won't feel insecure around you. . . -Williamson

    Phew....and here I thought I was having a flashback.

    And on a brighter black and white note, at least he didn't snort it, drink it, smoke it or 'hanging chaf the supreme court' it away.
