interested in doing a long week ( 9 or so days) of ice in late Feb/early March.
Finishing up a contract for the NSF in Antarctica, so not up to date on
conditions.
Based out of Reno, so anything reasonably close would work; Sierras, Elko/
LaMoille canyon, Salt Lake, etc.
Plan B
It would be great to get up to speed on using all those AID thingies;
hooks,beaks,heads,balls, etc.
I'll be back in early Feb, dates are flexible, and can be reached at:

This year the annual national dinner of the American Alpine Club is being held in the SF Bay Area. There are events on both 2/22 and 2/23. The big dinner event is on 2/23 and celebrating 50 years since the first American summit on Everest.
I'm serving on the host committee this year and my company, Call of the Wild, is donating an auction item that includes dinner with Arlene Blum (woman who led the first all American summit of Annapurna) and myself, some Arlene schwag ("Women on Top" t-shirt, book, etc), and a two-for-one option to go on a Call of the Wild women's only Annapurna Base Camp trek in November 2013. There should be some other great auction items.
The tickets are steep at $175, but it includes access to the full weekend events and a portion is tax deductible (you'll get a letter from the AAC afterwards - just like the American Himalayan Foundation annual dinner).
For those of you who have backpacked
with plastic bear-proof
food canisters and cursed the weight (and found you
couldn't get all your stuff in one anyway), I urge you to
consider the Ursack if you haven't already. It's
a light weight food bag made from bullet proof fabric and
has been approved for use in by some federal forests (but not
Yosemite--yet). For more info, go to: http://www.ursack.com/
For climbers,
there's also the Ursack Minor, a rodent-proof bag you
can put your food in at the base of the crag and look
forward to finding intact it when you get back
down--without the hole in your daypack and the
wrappers strewn all over the ground.
OH, and Tom Cohen,
who invented and developed the Ursack is a family
friend and gave me a break when I
got mine! You should be so
lucky.
The newer version of the ursack has an aluminum liner, and odor barrier plastic bags, and is reapproved by Inyo. But it adds a lot of weight and bulky.
Personally I use bearikade if bear is the question. I've successfully tested my ursack against marmot, when others' food bags got torn, in areas where bear canisters are not required.

All, I had an Ursack several years ago. Tied it to an eight inch diameter Lodge Pole Pine near Yosemite's Echo Creek/Tuolumne Pass.
A Black Bear ripped and punctured the Ursack bag to shreds. It took two months to get my refund money back. The Rangers wanted to hang it in the Tuolumne Meadows Ranger Station for public viewing. Your choice.
Good Luck. Steve Thaw Moraga, Caifornia

All of the Ursack mishaps I have heard about have mostly involved human error––not thinking to tie the darn thing to a tree, but yeah, even that seems like a joke when up against a bear capable of shredding cars apart in the valley.
Damn the inconvenience of it, but I'm sticking with my trusty Garcia.
I love my ursack, but I mostly consider it rodent-proof, not bear proof.
Mine has the aluminum liner, but I don't often use it.
As far as I know, they are *not* approved in any form for use in Yosemite?
