How much shipped to 98801?

It’d be nice if it had bindings. Not picky about length.

I'm located down in Wenatchee WA and I've been looking at planning some sort of a touring trip up in the interior next year. Is it worth messing with Wheeler/Asulkan huts to ski Rogers pass or does...

I'm in for the S7s - PMing

The entire article is up - very sad but very well done.

You traverse out onto a safer slope or even consider climbing back out if your options are limited.

You could stop and proceed to your nearest island of safety. Nobody says you have to link turns the entire way down if you all of a sudden see shooting cracks and whumpfing that you have to keep...

Ok I'll be more constructive.

What evidence do you have for 'skiing lightly' being a safe avalanche reduction technique.

'Just ski lightly bro'
*blows out air to save weight*

I would contend you're putting just as much force if not more force into the snow pack if not more by the technique you show in the video. Slowing down and making a real speed checking style turn...

So are you advocating skiing things 'lightly' that you wouldn't ski otherwise?

I cannot find the study with a brief bit of googling, but there was one I read that basically said that your typical backcountry skier doesn't have enough skills / training to properly assess...

Rules have changed recently.

I will buy these. I ain't too proud to rock some shorties - sending you a PM

You should consider doing what lots of podcasts are doing these days - set up an affiliate link to amazon and tell people to click through next time they shop. You might be surprised at the amount of...

Everyone I've emailed this out to thinks this is a really neat tool. I would bet you could get people to pay a one time $10 fee to use the site, or maybe give them access to certain tools. I'm not...

Really cool - spreading the word. It didn't seem to be working last night but it's working great now.

On the nwac accidents page (it's not allowing linking because of my n00b status)

Back country near Mission Ridge Ski Area; east slopes central WA Cascades - that is the name of one of them

I posted a reply that linked to some recent avalanches up in the PNW, for some reason the system isn't liking it probably because I have a new account. If it shows up out of order that's why. You can...

You are significantly underestimating the amount of snow required to bury a skier:

I think you are seriously underestimating the power of the slide in the video. It's a bit hard to tell from the video and the way it's edited, but the trees that the slide is running into are...

Just out of curiosity what do you think happens if you are caught in that slide? From what I can see that slide pushes you at a rather high rate of speed into trees. The deposition being deep enough...

You ride that slide into the trees your day is not ending well at all.
