It is a RTG where heat from Plutonium's radioactive decay generates power via a thermocouple. No turbines, no control rods, really no moving parts, and passive cooling. Super reliable, long lasting,...

The same way as the provider who diagnosed the person with altitude illness requiring supplemental O2 after multiple weeks at altitude... not the brightest thinking.

I saw a case where someone was convinced their COVID symptoms must be altitude illness (despite being at altitude for weeks) because this person's close contacts were all vaccinated and this person...

Occlude the IJ and this is supposed to "pressurize" the cerebral vasculature to reduce brain movement. What could go wrong? :eek:

amazing!

I thought someone was opening a sizeable mountain out by Steamboat?

No but I have a pair of G3 that were cut to a 192 Lotus 138, so that's basically uncut.

For the record, I'm not anti-solo. I sometimes go solo.

Solo just needs a different mindset because consequences are multiplied while safety factors are reduced vs small groups of good partners....

Those are some very messy statistics except for groups of 5 and larger, where the data is clear between the subgroups (CI don't overlap the reference and the P values are good). The subgroups were...

How do you consider multiple factors in determining avalanche risk when you appear to be capable of only comprehending a single factor in an accident analysis despite having multiple factors...

How many folks are at risk of ending up in court? The ones who are probably know it. These guys knew it while they were still standing on the hill and literally said so on the video footage they...

Of course violating one of the safe travel rules is a problem that can defeat other best practices.

Tragic. That zone needs a wide berth. People frequently pass through the runout when moving over to the other side. I can't imagine anyone actually skied the line yesterday.

Super fun time!

What a day to be stuck teaching avalanche :rolleyes2

The issue was not that they were full on a given day, it was just that they didn't want to honor the discount on days that were not yet sold out. :(

Yes. Double down even. Squaw said something about not honoring it due to covid limits on number of tickets so I guess they only want to sell full price? Doesn't seem fair...

I'm not sure where to post this complaint, but: Squaw/Alpine says they will not give A-Basin passholders a discount. So much for that plan. :mad: :(
