Carson Pass conditions?

[PowStompper]

Oh, and speaking of back country responsibility, how is Loki? They don't teach you in those safety classes that dogs can't ski or fly down rock hard north facing chutes, because it sounds like that would have been his only escape from his idiodic owner sending him down it to his doom. Poor pupper. Maybe I will clear things up a little bit for the viewers. You're a moron. Who puts there skis in a ski bag in thier ski rack? At first glance it looked like this ski bag was a pemanent fixture in your ski rack, so I figured since the rack was open when I got there, you had some other skies you were bringing. When I took my skis out, that was your que to close the rack, not show me how to place my sticks into a condom, they taught us how to do that in sex-ed. I was ready so I got in the car while you were still dicking around outside your car, with your open ski rack on it, with your skis in it. Also, when someone driving behind you is riding your ass and flashing their lights, that means pull over. And lets not for get that after the couple informed you that you skis were on the side of the road, you proceeded to go into you condo to rub one out I guess. I don't feel the least bit responsible for your stupidity, no. That was your parents doing. So eat a dick

what happened to the dog??

I think I'll use this thread for its original purpose. Went up to do a little solo mission on Carson today (Sunday). The corn was money. Snow pack is better consolidated than I expected too. Only got a little mushy right near the top on slopes exposed to the sun since early morning. Even at 12:30 stuff in the shade near the road was still pretty firm. Went lookers left of Round Top into the cool hanging cirque there.

The route in red.


From the top.


Looking back up the cirque.


Lower slopes.

Yes, I'm going to go ahead and Jong it right up and bring my favorite tread to the surface once again.

Went out to Round Top last weekend and noticed how good the snow was when I walked through the first patch and decided that I needed to attempt the Cresent Moon Chute. There Was Snow all the way down to Winamucka lake @ that point, but it's been warm this week.
So we get to work booting up the chute and we get to the point we set out for and come to a stop. After I stop, I get all funny feeling, like I just got punched in the balls or something, and then the sweats started.
Now I work in a hospital so I could go ask a Dr. But to tell the truth I'm sure I can get more feed back here from the experienced. I think It's altitude sickness. Maybe my body trying to adjust too quickly. It has been a while since I've been @ 10,000 ft. because no one wants to take me skiing for some reason This is not the first time I've felt this way but I really don't like being on a ?degree slope inside a chute and feeling like this. I just had to breath heavy for like 2 min, and I was good. Sometimes I puke though.

Does anyone else deal w/ this or am I just a freak/pussy.
I've been to the highest point in the lower 48 and didn't get this though, And sometimes its on my way down somthing nar and I have to stop and boot.
Shit sux

Sounds like you were scared shitless.
While altitude sickness affects everyone differently, what you're describing doesn't sound like the examples I've been through and seen.Typically the first thing experienced is a headache. However, exertion also helps to bring on or exacerbate the symptoms, and booting up that col could be considered exertion, I guess.
While nausea is definitely associated with acute mountain sickness, it's not something i experience. My symptoms include headache, light-headedness, general malaise, inability to focus my eyes, everything becoming intensely bright, and the hudgely loud bass of my blood pumping through my carotid artery. YMMV.

[gimpy]

yeah, you're just a freak pussy . but seriously i doubt it was altitude sickness if you live in tahoe at 6,000' + and were only at 10 k. i only notice altitude sickness above 12 k but everyones different. if you feel like you were punched in the nuts i'd guess its from having your nuts rubbed against your leg while skinning/booting. i occasionally get a discomfort there while skinng or booting but have never puked from it. laying off the ganga might help as well and it could also possibly be from dehydration from exercising heavily w/o adequate hydration. how was the skiing??? was the moon pretty smooth or was it in its usual runnelled june mess??
