In the article about Colorado based companies, you imply that Liberty Skis are made in CO. They are not, they are made in China. I have a lot of respect for companies making goods locally, it important that the media research the material they write and not harm local companies by confusing consumers who want to make purchasing decisions based on how/where a product is manufactured.

What peak do you dream of climbing? (page 4 current edition). All answers are interesting, but the one provided by Jayme Otto went up my nose real quick. “It changes every day. Today, it’s 14,000 foot Anjuman Pass in Afghanistan with Mountain2Mountain founder Shannon Galpin on our singlespeed Niners.”
I can understand the desire for doing something different riding in a war zone does sound quite exciting, and will surely impress people at the trailhead.
What ticks me off is the last part “on our singlespeed Niners”. What, any mountain bike won’t do? It has to be a hipster’s singlespeed with 29 inch wheels? What a snob.

Hey Henry,
The work Shannon Galpin and her nonprofit, Mountain to Mountain, is doing in Afghanistan is ground-breaking. And the bicycle manufacturing company “Niners” has provided quite a bit of support for her organization. Galpin and Niners both make a contribution to the world in a way I can only dream about. If that makes me a hipster and a snob, so be it. Thanks for reading.

What is with all the dang typos throughout the Sept./Oct. 2010 issue? I count 5 just in one piece, and it is stupid things, like misspelled words and completely random commas.

Wow, this month’s “Debate” was pretty amazing. On one hand, you have reasonable Adam Chase who reasonably points out that off-leash dogs pooping everywhere, chasing wildlife, knocking down children, and generally making other trailgoers miserable might be a bit of a problem and that some new arrangements could be made to mitigate the aforesaid problem.
Jayme Moye responds that if you don’t like dogs everywhere you go you shouldn’t move to Boulder, or Colorado. And if you’ve lived here longer than her (piddling) 12 years, or were born here (as I was), and don’t like dogs everywhere you go, you should just leave the state entirely. Then she pulls some bogus statistics straight out of her ass to back up her specious points.
Jayme’s attitude reminds me of the douchey mountain bikers who blitz down the trails at supersonic speeds, endangering everyone around them. Know those guys? The ones who — when you point out that there are children, or, yes, dogs on the trail — give you the finger? Well, you know what has happened to mountain bike habitat since hikers decided they couldn’t stand being on the same trail as these “free thinkers.” If clueless love-my-dog-or-leave-Colorado types keep up the attitude that every other trail user must be subservient to their dogs, you know what’ll happen. Dog owners will end up in their own little dogs-run-free ghettos (talk about poop).
It’s clear that dogs ARE a problem, because dog owners are a problem. Putting a dog on a leash restricts the dog somewhat — from harassing other trail users, from running down and killing deer, from getting lost, and from getting bit on the nose by a rattler (true story). What kind of narcissist can’t see that?
I, for one, am a dog person and perfectly happy to coexist with (leashed, and cleaned-up-after) dogs on the trail. It’s just owners like Jayme that I’d like to avoid.
