Harder to identify them and then admit them in public :)<br /><br />Also interesting to decide you are stronger than you have the recent experience to back up. And then meet the reality of that fantasy head on :-) Danehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08300760603627210620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940163880772720830.post-91397877189858706832013-05-26T19:35:46.100-07:002013-05-26T19:35:46.100-07:00I'm not sure what to say when 115mm underfoot ...I'm not sure what to say when 115mm underfoot is considered "mid fat". God help us.<br /><br />I'll have to agree, Dane, that if you guys seriously considered the summit a goal for that day, your "at home" choices did, indeed, doom you to failure. I can't see any situation on the way to or back from Rainier's summit where that ski is appropriate if you are trying to avoid being one of the "them". And all that liquid.....sheesh. <br /><br />I'm glad you experienced Eric, et.al. that day as they seemed to have left a mark on your psyche. I hope to cultivate that further in June.<br /><br />All that said, I'm taking note of your enthusiasm for that ski as I ponder fatties for next season. brian p. harderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03223537483494451530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940163880772720830.post-83174155750564323762013-05-21T22:24:37.172-07:002013-05-21T22:24:37.172-07:00Forgot...but seemingly important.

I used to pride myself getting clients or partners to pass those in front of us. Races I do what I can to hunt those down in fron of me. With various levels of success. If I stopped or turned around every time I got passed in a race or on a mtn these days I'd never get anything done! My take at the moment any way, as painful as it has become, is surround yourself with rabbits and try to keep up. I'm convinced I am still the wolf. If required and they falter I can still eat them ;-) Their strenght? They can move fast....but for how long?Danehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08300760603627210620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940163880772720830.post-91329863743655154512013-05-21T19:02:19.404-07:002013-05-21T19:02:19.404-07:00Thanks John.

I did the same trip by myself a month ago.<br /><br />http://coldthistle.blogspot.com/2013/04/classic-spring-skiing-in-pnw.html<br /><br />When I started this blog I wanted to make an intentional point of not adding in my own trip reports. Boring stuff. No matter how good the climb for me personally, always boring stuff. The gazzilion pictures of me are bad enough trying to get shots of gear I am reviewing. Fun to have a good "action model" along this time like JJ. And obviously the best trips are with good friends. Easy to write a TR on that.Danehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08300760603627210620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940163880772720830.post-83729753371384384582013-05-21T18:29:11.010-07:002013-05-21T18:29:11.010-07:00Maybe it wasn't your intent at the beginning o...Maybe it wasn't your intent at the beginning of the "review" but I do like reading a trip report every now and then too. Sounds like the trick to feeling good is to surround yourself with slower people. I got passed on Shasta by a twelve year old in running shoes who climbed 8k in 5 hours. Funny how I turned around soon after.Johnnoreply@blogger.com
