Shin is safe, Stacy can kick my A$$, I'm one heck of a slow hiker. What I like about this board is that people are great with the PM's. I've got lots of invites and am honored by Shin's invite while on Baldy.
Stacy is nuts if she thinks I'm doing snow without skis. I went up the Backbone earlier this year (no snow), but found my hike down the Bowl (lots of snow) on the same trip to be a bit more interesting as I slid down most of it on my butt.
I'm excited about Death Valley and a trip up to the Portal (yes, in the snow) if we can do that. For our snow hike up to the Portal though, I think we should send out invites on this site a few weeks prior. The more people, the more fun. And the video we'll post should be pretty funny. Drinks afterwards in Lone Pine, paid by Gary should be nice too.
