I noticed on another forum that in an effort to combat spammers, they now ask some simple questions that show some minimal knowledge of the sport as part of the registration process. What questions would you ask to verify that the person registering is not selling porn.
Examples
What do you think of when you hear "K2" ?
1 a mountain in the Himalayas
2 a gear manufacturer
3 personel lubricant
What do you think of when you hear the word "wax" ?
1 the base of skis
2 surfboards
3 unwanted hair
What do think of when you hear "big air" ?
1 better spot the landing
2 politicians
3 flatulence
Any more ?

Ski - no, but the K2 eldorado snowboard was a legend. I still ride mine sometimes.
Trencher
Personally? No )
I know Fredrik Ericsson has a planned ascent/descent for next summer as part of his objective to climb/ski the three highest peaks. He was on Kangchenjunga last month but didn't make the summit so I'm not sure where that leaves the project, I presume he'll push on and try again next season now.

Has it been skied before? Not that I recall.
I thought I read that bad weather had forced them to abandon the attempt.
That is an excellent website, super photos, thanks :D
