I'm hopeful that the new owners will be able to make EMS a relevant brand, just like REI has been able to do in the past 20 years, or MEC in Canada. EMS has been a stunning brand, merchandising and marketing failure in that same period of time. Heads should roll. The new owners certainly...

I had a fun trip to Kathmandu once but don't recall any specific places by name. I picked up some Russian ice fifi's and some cams at some shop in a westernized district. I'll go back but after kids when I can visit for a month or more. Have fun!

Damn. .

Well done.

I may have told this story on a prior Lonnie thread... A good friend of mine was a Denali guide and we both knew and trained with Tejas and Stahli (who had the first successful winter ascents on the west butt and west rib on Denali). Todd, my friend, was very comfortable on Denali and was...

Scotland and Ravens! Two of my favorite things. You nailed it, thanks.

Small lot on Union Street above Hotel and Burr & Burton school. Lot is on right hand side next to the Gourd home, just where the road starts to veer left into driveways after the long straightaway. Blue trail to the top. Enjoy.

I don't believe there is a trail of any significance between the two. There is a 4wheeler trail through the notch separating them, but goes to neither summit.

Good luck. My wife and I tried it in February once. It took us 5 days just to get to the park because roads were closed from deep snows. Then we got stormed off the mountain. But, a big, cool and uncrowded experience in winter. There is a great hut system in the foothills that ended up...

Versa buys troubled companies with the goal of fixing them. Near term changes will include stopping what's not working and doing more of what does. (closing unprofitable stores and activities and discontinuing unprofitable product offerings). Behind the scenes they will pump money into the...

I'm a big fan of mouse boots and still wear mine a few times a winter. VT doesn't much justify them but up in the arctic, they were amazing.

4" on Algonquin and all sorts of ice with a few hundred people. It was an absolute zoo today with a full parking lot plus 100+ cars in overflow.

Thanks Guys!

I'm taking my son to the 'Daks this weekend with the intent of a long-ish day above tree line. I'm leaning towards Wright, Algonquin & Iroquois then down to lake Colden and back to Loj. Any alternative suggestions that will give us plenty of time above tree line? Thanks,

Thanks guys. I've been to 3 hardware stores and home depot and can't find it. It is available online but it seems silly to pay shipping on a tube of glue. Is this something that is usually in the stores, should I look harder? Thanks,

Does everyone notice how shoe quality has declined over the last 20 years? The last few years especially I have experienced lots of sole delaminations and am struggling to do a quality repair job. Shoe Goo has disappointed me on large scale repairs because it just doesn't bond well enough...

It's raining tonight but overall quite dry with many streams dried up.

The whiney curmudgeon is Craig Medred who many people feel is Alaska's #1 a-hole. He's a bully with a pen and ridicules nearly everyone who dies in the Alaskan wilds. He once lambasted a group of kayakers who drown in rough waters for being out of staters who were racing to catch a plane...

Great job and Congrats. You'll walk Hood next time. Good luck on Denali.

It won't get funded. The same money could be spent where people actually live and are willing to pay tolls. And it wouldn't change anything other than hurt the environment. The whole article is silly and doesn't make much sense, Maine is a consumer state and chased most of it's...
