Thanks. I've read Snow Sense and Avalanche Essentials by Bruce Temper, which I think is his newer book from 2013. I'll pick up a copy of Staying Alive as well.

I also did the Know Before You Go...

Somehow I missed this before. Yes, my handle is from Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates. Big Tom Robbins fan.

Our AT rental packages are equipped with either frame or tech (Dynafit) touring bindings, and they’re picked for our fleet because they’re perfect for the Wasatch Mountains.

That makes a lot of...

Thanks, everyone. Appreciate the help. I was signed up for the AIARE Avalanche 1 & 2 courses and bought the probe and shovel for those, then Covid hit and they both got canceled. Prior to that I had...

Thanks! I live in Park City. Will likely be touring in the Uintas and Cottonwoods for a start. Already have most of the avy gear including a Black Diamond Jet Force air bag. Just need to learn how to...

I'd like to get set up for AT this winter. I've been wanting to get into it anyway, and this winter seems like an ideal time to start, since I think it's likely the resort skiing experience won't be...

Yeah, I'm coming to terms with this. I love to ski alone, and it's often hard for me to find someone to go with that is at a similar ability level and likes the same terrain. I should probably stop...

I just moved to Park City last fall. I'm skiing more than I ever have in my life (yea!). Right now it's mostly resort, but I do often ski trees and go through the gate to access chutes, bowls,...

What's the main difference between the Renegades and Hojis? Is it mostly just waist width?

Haven't tried the 107s but have the MSP 99s and love them, super versatile resort ski that does well on groomers, bumps, sidecut, and a few inches of fresh snow. I like them so much I'm now...

I had the same question. So this is my first reply. We'll see how long it takes until I can post.
