Janet's Cabin

[FiveLarge]

I am here to reiterate that I have taken a dump in an outhouse.

I'm here to post in this very important thread...

...and to corroborate Rontele's claim.

These forums are sometimes awesome. Great stoke, good info, great deals and swaps.

But, then, there are times where you all look like a bunch of douchebags.

For Example, I know a different Janet's Cabin in New England. Homeboy saying something about where it is geographically doesn't make him less hardcore than you.

SheRa and others:

Your post count has NOTHING to do with how experienced of a skier or mountaineer you are. Rose could be Scott Schmidt (either of them) or he could be your little sister...

Why don't you ask before you all start being dicks?

So I'm supposed to suck up to him if he's Scott Schmidt? (actually, I would)

Sorry if you don't like how we handle the traffic here. Let me apologize for myself and anyone else that takes the time and trouble (and fun) to do it. I hear everyone on epicski and ttips is really nice, and polite too. They don't even use swear words or anything! Might suit you better. Or hey, speaking of east coast, you could try alpinezone.

I didn't know there was a Janet's in New England. Pics?

I once slid into Janet's Box.

What is the difference between Janet and a 747?

Not everyone has been inside a 747.

I have actually been invited to clean out the outhouse at Janet's. It's a very special, once a year, event. Unfortunately, I had a hangnail that day.

Hutguy takes care of that and a lot of other things. I really do wish he were here with us.

Here's a pic of Mike skiing Guyot:

I agree. Mike Zobbe is a quality dude, definitely a would-be maggot. We shall see if we can have him make the exodus over here.

But what if he just thinks we're a bunch of douchebags!

But it just might have something to do with how much of a JONG you are!!

Turn on your aim please.

Anyone ever been to Janet's Cabin? It's one of the 10th MD Huts near Copper Mtn. in CO. I went there last March and had a fucking AMAZING three day trip. Just wondering if anyone else has been there.

Yup. We celebrated Victor's bachelor fiesta up there. Had the Copper Patrol haul our sled w/ 7 cases of beer (rented from REI), up to the trailhead, even took the lift, and skied down to the trailhead. I hauled it in most of the way and didn't have to deal w/ it on the way out. We passed a group whilst skining up to the hut...like 5 grrls and 2 guys. I'll always remember one of the girrls saying something like "I hope we left you some fresh tracks". Pfffft. They didn't even go up to the pass. After digging a few pits, we nailed Jacque's Ridge, Searle Pass of course, Elk Mtn., "Prospects" and a group even headed out to Jacque Peak (I think that's in-bounds Copper Mtn. now).

The place looked like a ski resort after our group left since it was Springtime and we had 9" fresh one morning (Copper Mtn. was closed when we exited). Something like 15 of us were up there off and on over the 4 days. Topo maps are your friend:

Have to agree with Anon on this one. This thread reminds me why I spend little to no time here and spend most of my time in Sprocket Rockets. I've just never figured out the theory behind trying to make people feel like idiots when they come here with totally relevant threads.

So, SheRa - I guess your goal has been acheived! You've reduced traffic for certain, including people who've been around a while.

I think I'll reduce the traffic in this place by one right now. Me.

I am heartbroken.

Lucky guys.

Wow, this thread has got some serious legs! Quite entertaining however.

All right... all right! Don't get 'em in a bunch.
But if you're gonna act "core" about it... Was it twenty below with frost on the seat that your ass got froze to?... or maybe it was sweltering hot out, stinky a-n-d there were black widows hoovering near your balls?
Huh? Out with the truth. Cuz this thread needs some core crap in it.

Here's your fucking stoke Shera. Lose the "holier-than-thou" attitude.

Day 1: During the 5(?) mile skin to the hut, we (myself, my friend, and our ski instructor/friend) ran into this little guy:



Day 2 of the 3 day trip to Janet's. Our only full day, and our only day to tour and get some real turns in. Our objective is Sugarloaf Peak, but to get there we take a more indirect route. We head in the direction of Elk Mountain (pictured in the following 2 pics), then, about mid-way up, hang a right to intersect with the ridge-line that ends up at Sugarloaf.





On the ridge-line:



We dig pits mid-way down Sugarloaf Peak, and find that stability is moderate. A hard fall could possibly trigger a very small avy, but we proceed.



A little exposure on the knife-edge, Sugarloaf Peak:





Sugarloaf:



A great day is over. Our turns just above Janet's coming down from Sugarloaf:



And a great trip is over. Day 3, looking up Guller Creek Drainage, in the direction of Janet's and the ridge-line. To the left of the ridge is Elk Mountain, just barely visible, and Sugarloaf Peak, which looks like a little hump to the right.

FKNA Rose, nice pics. Do stick around. This place may be harsh at times, but usually 99% of the time we are just joking.

And yes, I have taken a dump in an outhouse.

[shera]

Good stoke. Thanks for sharing.

[Cyber Cop]

Fucking cool...

[SnowTigress]

very cool!! welcome Rose! paging critter-guru Kidwoo!

[L7]

Cool shot, is that a little swift fox?

Never mind I googled and it looks to be a red fox. Either way cool to see him so close trying to figure out what the hell you are.

The others are great shots too I just like the up close and personal critters.

[rideit]

KidWoo has as 'little critter'? Is it rabid, or merely curious?

[Rose]

Acceptance... finally....

[Rontele]

Acceptance... finally....

See, it doesn't take much.

Edit, page top bitches.

[snowsprite]

Beautiful pics, nice stoke. Welcome, Rose!
