Bota lolo
My one buddy decided to put tequila in one day. It sprung a leak so the rest of us drank it before it all leaked out.
I don’t remember skiing the next hour but no broken bones so all good 😁

"Why would I have to do avalanche training before heli-skiing? My time is much too valuable to be waiting around listening to that sort of thing. And I don't want to be skiing anywhere near anything that could be susceptible to an avalanche in the first place!"
...while on the phone with the heli operator. WFH can't end soon enough.

haha, i was just asked how to prevent this. I kept thinking they were talking about fogging, or moisture inside the lense... it never occured to me that they were talking about the outside riming up.
Ive always just used by thumb as a wiper for the outside, and thought that was the most natural, common sense thing to do, so much so that i didnt occur to me people wouldnt. My only issue is if ive gone a little heavy with the snoseal recently i end up rubbing that wax on the outside of the lense and have little streaks all over. no biggie though.
About 10-12 years ago i have some gloves that came with a stiff rubber wiper blade built into the outside of each index finger. It was super legit for windshield wiping the goggles... but otherwise the gloves sucked.

Spoken like a true PNW'er. Rime was just a fact of life growing up skiing Shasta and Bachelor, but it's almost never a thing in the Wasatch. Skied a classic rime day at Shasta last week and the wife had a hard time wrapping her brain around the idea that you're just supposed to wipe your googles off every ten turns and keep skiing.

I love watching the Ducks try and scrape that shit off thereby ruining a pricey set of Goggles.
I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

Yeah. All you have to do is take your glove off and palm your lens.

Reminds me of one I posted before, guy from Toronto asking me, as the guide for the Vallee Blanche gave us intructions--"What is a crevasse?" At least he had the brains to a) ask and b) not fall in one.
Funny, the only place my goggles ever got rimed was in freezing fog on top of Snowbird. I was completely blind, just took Chip's down. If I felt myself going of the groomed I turned. --40F that day.

I got buried (head and one arm free) heli skiing in AK. We were skiing one at a time. The guide was way down the hill. Fortunately my son, an ex patroller was after me and dug me out because it was clear the other two clients would have had no idea what to do, especially if there was a full burial and a beacon search was necessary.

I got taken out by a slough train in AK last season and was very thankful my guide had decided to wait up top and let us go first. One of my skis was about 400 feet above where I ended up. If I had been last that would have tuned into quite an ordeal. I suppose they would have just taken a heli bump to the same line in order to retrieve it. Shit gets real up in those mountains fast.
I ski 135 degree chutes switch to the road.

Walking up to the gondola yesterday and I see this Mitsubishi with windows down, a crew of 20-something tourist gapers and rental skis sticking out of three of the windows.
It was snowing pretty heavily. If you were going up Berthoud Pass that night, you may have seen an overloaded Corolla, with the windows down and skis sticking out, struggling mightily at altitude.
