Some background: Now that the website is getting an occasional hit, it occurred to me that some might be wondering about the author. After I finished school and then training, and then getting a real job I started backpacking. I drifted away from it after 10 years or so, mostly from work pressures I suppose. When I retired at the age of 50, I started hiking a little, then a lot, then more. It was not long before I started going out each week, every week year round, one or two nights. For the 7 or 8 years, I spent maybe 110 days or more out in the mountains each year, about half on snow with skis, half booting it. The rest of the time I amused myself with related projects like this one, or inventing and making my own gear. Some of it actually works for me at least. Larry January 1, 2008
A lot has happened since I wrote this with the result that this site has had little attention. It looks so dated now that it’s embarrassing. It’s now 2021 and my interest in some of this has returned. At least I’ll see if I can get the Sasse snowpack model working. Feel free to contact me if you wish at the email address below. LR |
