May Your Spirit Rise Higher Than Mountains (January 1, 1997)
May your spirit rise higher than mountains! I have returned from my Fall expeditions and all my pain of the Summer has lifted somewhat from my spirit into the crystal air of the Himalaya. Compelled: in that world you may know yourselves and beauty that is eternal. The very best to you in the coming year.
Anatoli Boukreev
Santa Fe, New Mexico
-- ed: Anatoli Boukreev was an internationally acclaimed high altitude climber and a guide on Scott Fischer's 1996 Everest expedition. For heroism in rescue efforts during the fatal storm of that climb, he was given the David Sowles Award for Valor. He is the first person to have guided Everest from both the north and south sides and has summited eleven of the world's fourteen 8,000 meter peaks. In the spring of 1997, he climbed four 8,000 meter peaks in 80 days. On December 25, 1997, he was killed in an avalanche on Annapurna.
No Miracles on Annapurna (Dec. 30, 1997)
Hi Mountain Zone:
We are absolutely devastated to hear about the tragedy on Annapurna and that the seemingly immortal Anatoli Boukreev is missing presumed dead. Please keep us updated on the Mountain Zone as much as you can. We will join with the rest of the Zoners in praying for a miracle.
Yours in hope,

Have To Get More (Dec. 28, 1997)
I just received the "National Geographic" book on EVEREST for xmas . I am 34 years old and live in the Canadian Prairies. I stayed up all night reading the book and even dreamed of going to everest that night . I felt like I was 12 years old again on a personal mission. Prior to this book I had no interest at all in this folly. I have to get more information as I was spellbound by the books pictures and personal stories.
Will you have a expedition in 1998 and will you have email available at base camp. This has become personal to me . Good luck I like the web page as well .

All The Cool Kids Get Mountain Mail (Dec. 11, 1997)
For the first time in my life, I am grateful for a writer who has the ability to help expel my beverage of choice through my once-pristine nasal cavities. I refer, of course, to you (the writer of the Mountain Zone promos I've been receiving, I assume) and my eggnog latte, which bless it's little sweet caffeinated heart is now resting in equal proportions on my computer screen and in my rubbish bin.
In short, I love your stuff. Perhaps you'd consider sending promotions on a more frequent basis? Hell, I might even buy something one of these days...
Warmly,
Most Sincerely,
Regards,

Into Thin Air (Dec. 07, 1997)
I don't know who I am emailing, but I haven't been the same after, first reading and then listening to the audio tape, "Into Thin Air" by Jon Krakauer. His writing made me feel as if I was atop Everest. As I read and listened, (despite knowing the outcome), I urged Rob Hall to muster up the strength to get down the mountain. I don't understand the criticism of Jon Krakauer, though. It seems to me that when you are atop Mt. Everest it must be every man/woman for themselves. No one is capable of helping anyone in such an oxygen deprived state. I sympathize with Jon however, for I am about as far removed from the situation as a person can be, and the disaster haunts me. I cannot imagine having been a part of it and trying to live a normal life. I pray for all the survivors, their families and the families of the deceased of that fateful day.

I am really enjoying your Everest page, as my younger brother Bob Cormack climbed the mountain in 1976, and as then it is a now again a thrill to be 'with' people during a great climb.
Thanks for bringing the Top of the World to the world.

He's A Reader (Nov. 19, 1997)
Dear Mountain Zone,
You have an awesome devotion to provide news from the mountains and your web site is great. However, after reading 'Into thin Air,' 'The Climb,' and 'Everest, Mountain without Mercy,' and listening to Ed Viesturs, and Scott Fischer's wife at the REI 'Legends' event last week (and Anatoli Boukreev the night before), I find it offensive to see Peter Horton's picture and comments presented in such a way that gives his dispicable, disrespectful performance in the movie 'Into Thin Air: Death on Everest' any glory, and in such a way that overshadows the triumphs and tragedies of true mountaineers. Thanks for considering my opinion.
Yours,
Andrew Frisbie

Dear People at MountainZone,
My name is Rob Michayluk, a student at The University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon up here in Canada. I just wanted to say that your website ROCKS, and I spend quite a bit of time at it. I really enjoy the Everest 97 page as that mountain intrigues the hell out of me, so all the pictures and info I can get on it the better; maybe someday I'll climb it (doubt it)... Sincerely,

Thank You (Nov. 12, 1997)
You have no idea how fascinating your stories are to me. I love everything about those beautiful, awe inspiring mountains that I will never be able to climb like you do. I have read many stories about the lives of people who do climb - some who have come back -- some who haven't. I understand the feeling that calls you to keep trying. One day I would like to try climbing to the Base Camp. Best wishes -- I have been checking your web site ever since the terrible events of 1996.
Again, Thank you.

Not the Scott Fischer I knew (November 11, 1997)
Hello,
[I] was very disappointed with the portrayal of Scott Fischer in the movie [Into Thin Air: Death on Everest]. Having known Scott and his whole family since the early 60's, you didn't show the Scott that I knew. I have to read the book to see if Mr. Krakauer had the same opinion. I surely hope not. I was sorry I wasted my time watching! Thank You

ABC's Everest Film an Embarrassment (November 10, 1997)
I believe the Everest film on ABC [Into Thin Air: Death on Everest] did a terrible disservice to real mountaineering. The portrayal of Scott was embarrassing. The technical climbing scenes were very poor. Anyone with even just basic climbing skills could see flaws.

That Would Be Another Thumbs Down (November 10, 1997)

Into Thin Air: Death On Everest Movie (October 25, 1997)
Mountain Zone,
Just a short note to bring up a subject that has been followed by outdoor enthusiasts for a long time now. The 96' Everest disaster. I have read countless articles and seen all kinds of news magazine coverage of this event and read Jon Krakauer's book Into Thin Air. Is there anybody else out there that thinks that it is very tasteless to now release a cheap TV movie coming out based on Krakauer's book. I had a lot of respect for this man until now. What started out as a great story about the human spirit has been reduced to tasteless trash TV. To me this movie is a great disrespect to those that died up on that mountain. Enough Said. Thanks for your time.

Are You Sure You're Not Blond? Check Again. (October 20, 1997)
Ok, so I went through the exercise of filling out your questionnaire months ago. Now I go to the new contest site and it asks me for my name and password. Should I know these things, are they relevant to my everyday life.
OK, I admit it, I have no idea what to fill in those boxes. Was I supposed to write something down. There has to be an easier way. Help me, I am now officially having an anxiety attack. I like things basic. Simple is all I ask. (No, I am not a blonde)
Can you help me, please.
Thank you in advance!

Ya, The Guy Is Good (October, 19 1997)
Dear Mountain Zone,
I would like to tell you that I believe the best ski films ever made are those made by Warren Miller. I live in Denver, Colorado, and I am only 14 yrs. old, but for the last four years, I have attended the annual Warren Miller Films. My favorite was "Endless Winter," and "Verical Reality" and "Snow Riders" were great also. I hope that "Snow Riders 2" will live up to Warren Miller standards, which exceed most ski flicks. I have already purchased tickets to the film, for me and a few of my friends. I have been skiing since I was five years old, at the various resorts in Colorado. I ski every weekend at Winter Park/Mary Jane, and I love Breck, Vail, the Aspen Mountains, Beaver Creek, and A Basin rocks. I will be looking forward to seeing "Snow Riders 2" at the Paramount Theater in Denver this November!

I've just bought a house. A house that needs lots of paint and wallpaper and a little bit of kitchen remodeling. I'm doing it myself, so I can save money to go skiing (my passion) in Dec. and Feb. My beef is that this work takes up all of my spare time and I don't get to go mountain biking (a newly-found summer passion) any more. Sucks. But when the house is done, I'll be back on track and have more jack in my pocket. Tell you what, when I get this thing finished, I'll send you a postcard or an update from the trail. Hell, I'll send you a picture of the house, if you'd like.

Of the Mountain People, For the Mountain People (July 30, 1997)
Hello.
A little wish for those able to make changes to the Mountain Zone. I heard on the radio this morning of a death on Mount Rainier. It seems that it is in line with the Mountain Zone business plan and philosophy to provide information on such topics as soon as possible. I understand the difficulties of CNN type reporting, but think how often "Mountain People" would check such a reliable site reporting intelligently on topics close to their lives and interests. Just a wish - great site none-the-less!
A Few Hours Later:
...Good job. Sorry I appeared to have jumped the gun a little. Nice write up -- I was glad to see that you passed along more information than I found elsewhere.
This "mountain person" will be checking in again soon! Thanks,

Ok, here's the problem. I've recently acquired this fettish with mountaineering. This last weekend I was attempting the summit of an area peak (12,600) and got AMS. Not the usual symptoms of nausea and fatigue but more of dizziness and disorientation. Does this mean that my dreams of the high peaks is gone? Will I ever be able to aclimatize? Is it true that there really isn't a Santa Clause? (oops, wrong letter) Anyway, I've read about some drugs that can help (Diamox, decadron) but don't know if that's the answer. Pleeeeeez help!

Dear Mountain Zone:
This is Chris Klug's mom...he just won a very tough US Open event and I wondered why you did not have a bio on him. I think a "top 10" world class rider should be covered by you.

Thanks for all the great coverage you do provide.

How far up a sheer cliff can a world-class mountain climber climb in one day, given that the rock does not crumble and offers all necessary hand/footholds, the climber only has to carry food and gear for that one day, and that (s)he must keep this up for an indefinite number of days?

We Don't Have Anything on High Altitude Luge Either... (Mar. 4, 1997)
Wow! You people have everything imaginable about mountain stuff. But what about hang-gliding? The art of foot launching a 60 lb. motorless aircraft off of, what?, a mountain. Yes, boys and girls, it's a true sport and the ultimate, catch alot of air, high. I've done skiing, snow-boarding, climbing and mountain biking, but for the past three years I've done nothing else but flying my glider. The other sports, in my opinion, are unique but oh so different. So I thought, just maybe, you folks could add a little bit about my sport on your page. I will help all I can if you like. Let me know.

Why You Never Buy Old Rental Gear (Mar. 4, 1997)
ATTENTION ALL,
I did my first snowboarding last year at Perisher Blue Resort and after two days was competent on most black runs and doing plenty of jumps.
This year I plan to go spastic on my rented board and I wondered if those of you more experienced could show me some cool tricks that I can hopefully learn while I'm up there.
Please send me pictures or diagrams or drawings or whatever you've got.
Ben the Psyco Norris
Mike.norris@hfpps.act.edu.au
-- ed: Hey B, let us first state that The Mountain Zone and all of it's associates do not encourage or condone going "spastic" in the mountains. Even on rental gear. It is dangerous and you could die. Ok then, if you've really got your heart set on it though, take a look at our library of animated snowboarding moves for ideas. Pay special attention to our bud Terje Haakonsen who has made going spastic into an art form.
Take a look also at the Nike Big Air competition, noting the many crash animations included for you edification. And finally, you should really study Jasey Jay Anderson's World Cup Crash which, while done on a Super-G course, claimed enough air to qualify as a cross-platform snowboarding caveat. Go spastic at your own risk. Oh ya, here's sort of a diagram for ya...
That's Volken. Martin Volken. P-tex Shaken Not Stirred. (Mar. 6, 1997)

Ok now the best we can do for you is point to some words of wisdom from the king of "ledges and drop-offs" himself: Scot Schmidt talks skiing, flying and fear in our exclusive audio-chat. He's the man. You might also like to follow the Extreme Skiing championship where folks who share your compulsion gather to scare each other and see who blinks first... of course, for some, it's months before they blink again, but then that's the sport.

Of course we can't give you info on Jimi -- you could be some kind of a stalker nut or whatever, but we'll tell him that you told us to tell him that you still thought he was cute. If the pool experience meant as much to him as you believe, he'll be in touch. Let us know the minute you hear from him and tell us everything, ok?!?!
Not As High As He'd Like (Jan. 22, 1997)
I just started snowboarding and I love it. I never skied before and after snowboarding one time I dont want to try.

PS: I'm glad I have a place to come to view the weather of the local ski resorts, and look at some cool pictures!
THANKS!

I was reading the January 16th issue of USA TODAYs and it had a large section devoted to cybersites for skiers on page 8d. I decided to log on and see what each site had to offer. I only got to your site and felt right at home with your way of communicating on the site. I get the feeling that its a bunch of young guys and gals that are truly involved with the activities that a mountain can give you. Your dialog that comes across made me feel a lot younger than I am but i also felt that you were interested in everyone instead of just the 16 to 25 age group. I have put you into my favorite places and will be logging on in the future as I hope to get out to a mountain before the snow melts.

Tele-ness is Next to Godliness (January 15, 1997)
Hey there,
I'm looking for a backcountry trip in BC or the Canadian Rockies around March or April. You know, ski, hike or heli in to a cabin in an ideal location for tele skiing. Attended or unattended and guided or unguided are all possible -- but the prospect of coming back from skiing to a hot meal gets many appeal points.
You folks know about that sort of trip, or can you recommend someone who does?
Thanks,
Brian
-- ed: Hey Brian, for heli-tele bliss, try Golden Alpine holidays out of Golden, BC. They have huts in the Selkirks, near Rogers Pass. We have done it
unguided, but they also offer guided trips. Nice huts, saunas, nice
terrain, very inexpensive with a group, and you can fly in a ton of gear
and food (we took in a keg of beer!)
Also, the Alpine Club of Canada has many huts up there:
For a more decadent trip, you can try Island Lake Lodge in Fernie, BC They have all the amenities- beautiful lodge, hot tub, separate rooms,
running water, French Chef (the food is outrageous!), and some of the
best cat skiing in the world. If you want a real treat, do yourself a
favor and spring for this option.
Good luck and take some turns for us.
