What is your area of expertise? I know it has always been excellent for Nordic related issues. Does your realm of knowledge extend beyond that sphere?

Playing that card again. Time for you to rock your grey matter a bit. You have been told multiple times from past moderators that having one's personal information as an Avatar is not required for this board. I suppose you expect everyone here to conform to your rules and idealities because...

Well at least the newspapers use their perceived intellectual elitism to check the spelling on the title of an article reporting global warming before they try to ostracize their audience without actually knowing whom that audience is.

I disagree. According to who? Where is your data? When debating on an empirical paradigm it is best to stay objective rather than injecting personal opinions. While we are at it. I will agree that data is manipulated to paint the scenario that the beholder wishes to display that best fits their...

This is an excellent product but not for the Whites. This is an over boot for full on glaciated or total snow covered situations mainly for high altitude situations. The reason being it adds another layer between the bottom of your foot and your crampons. Very cold and very high leads to...

I agree but there is room for interpretation IMO. There are other factors involved when it is definitely time to retire a helmet IMO. See my post above. I guess I'm also in the camp of being safe than sorry and not worrying about spending a buck every once in a while, on protective headwear. One...

Is it not possible that it was the combination of improper traction and not having protective headwear. I would say there is a high probability of Head Trauma involved with this accident. I agree most folks don't need Helmets while hiking but this gentleman was off trail on an icy slide scouting...
