I have something like the Chef Rainier except by Brunton and like it a lot

Keystone Glacier is gnar... and full of MILFs

You can put a wedding dress on a pig, but you are still marrying a pig.

Moreover: your product is not cost competitive with other similar Apps or reliable sat rescue messenger products like PLBs,...

Paid! Looks good!

Wow!

You want 2-3 days spent on cpr instead of 4-5 hours. Your rationale is that poor cpr outcomes are due to insufficient training. The evidence is counter to your rationale. Also, healthcare provider...

It is true that effective CPR is important to better outcomes, but the problem isn't 4 vs 8 hours. Professionals spend 8 hours and there is data which shows that some medical types who do it...

Compression only model is for urban bystanders made primarily under the basis of 2 assumptions:
1. By far the most common etiology is cardiac, so there is enough residual O2 in the blood for the...

Strangely, I agree with this very strongly.

Simple economics applies here: if your basic Level 1 goes from 24 hours to 48 hours or so, its going to cost a lot more. Fewer people will be able to...

AWESOME!

^getting close to the price of a cheap beacon or PLB, looks highly likely to break off in a slide (or use more battery if you use the bluethooth), still limited by cell reception to tell other phones...

The problem, in a word, is UNRELIABLE. A phone is not durable, is often stored poorly in an out layer and the battery dies quickly in the cold (and GPS is a battery sucker), plus GPS and phone signal...

Awesome stuff right there!!!

I guess a major problem I have with Lou's report is it has played on this whole idea that these folks "almost made it." It goes back to my "close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades." Safe...

There are some great map tools available for reading slope angles. The AIARE fieldbook and several other fieldbooks contain these tools and Brooks Range Mountaineering sells a transparent overlay map...

Hey Rob! How is life?

This app... is a HORRIBLE idea for too many reasons to list.

There a lot of things I'd comment on... I guess one thing I will say is this:

Staying home wasn't the right decision for the day. They did make mistakes. What is bothering a lot of people is that...

^I agree! I certainly was not saying "keep the trigger stowed." I teach avalungs and balloon triggers should be deployed at the TH as part of a TH check (which includes beacon checks).

There are true safe zones and there are "safer zones." This mistake is frequently behind slides catching more than one person.

Balloon packs are minimally effective against avalanches coming from...

Lindahl has a good observations and supposition... we shall see later today (most likely) when the full report is released.

I take issue with the statement about equal likilihood. Greater than 90% of groups involved in avalanche accidents trigger the slides that affect them. The other fraction are slides triggered by...

Two in for me, two for the lady. I'm struggling with sizing of the FR with armor...

Yea... this one falls in the Front Range

Truly one should always read both zones... or all zones.

Loveland Pass is part of the Vail/Summit Forecast Zone

I added two to the cart... do I have to make an account?

From the first guy on scene: http://www.wildsnow.com/9938/mike-bennett-sheep-creek-avalanche/

Of course we desire as a community to spread awareness and minimize the incident rate. Achievable goals are good for the psyche. Incidents are inevitable despite our best efforts, but part of the...

I'm finding the philosophical soul searching interesting... things to reconsider? Always reexamine...



This is as much as we can really say so far... most of those who really know what the...

Just talked to KansasBoarder: he and his P4P buddies are not involved.

Official information supposedly to be released presently...

Very sad news indeed :(

I hope that in the Slide Zone, which tends to be the closest thing TGR has to a professional forum, we can stick to respectful discussion of the tragedy now and educational...

Facebook says sheep creek

The information will come. Both summit and alpine SAR responded. Loveland pass is closed. Facebook and the news indicate 5 buried and there are survivors.

Hoping for a good outcome and safety of rescuers...

The pass is now closed.

The original report from a friend was a large number caught. I hope the report was wrong.

I heard he didn't have it in, that he was buried very shallow.

What is worth finding out more about is the Eisman Hut triple burial.

Thanks for the pro-tip, Stalin.

DPRK is too hardened to disarm without one hell of a mess. (The kind of mess that kills several million people, reduces Seoul to rubble, and irradiates many Japanese... and that is a best case...

I have two whippets. They are nice for ascent. Sometimes on icy spring descent they are a safety blanket (and probably as useful). Obviously, nobody takes their whippets out thinking it is a good...

Nobody writes a review like Marshal!

Indeed. The evidence abounds of mistakes made by professionals as well as novices, educated and ignorant. We are but human. Nobody should be hung for mistakes, but, if nature lets us live, it...

I would not trust any hard slab to react predictably in an actionable sense with relation to the termination of fracture propagation short of the slab boundary. In other words, it can only be trusted...

Looks outstanding.
Green Freestyle... whatever length, prefer long, one of each if we are doing both lengths.

The initial post by the guy who rode is a fair reflection. To paraphrase, he though there was hardslab, but that it would not be triggerable, and that if it did, it would break at his feet. In...

^EXACTLY

I'm more interesting in a HUD with Gaper Following and Avoidance RADAR

Awesome footy, but where's the chronicle's patented humor???

That makes the opposite of sense to me... it would lead too more pressure going underfoot and less being transferred to the contact points farther out with less force transferred to decamber the...
