On a more positive note, we managed to get four grown men and gear into a VW Passat wagon and made it home without the suspension failing:
Screw the net, Surf the backcountry!

<ignorance>Admittedly, I'm not well-versed in avalanche procedures and find this video very interesting and informative, but, with the conditions so loose, couldn't that slab fall on him just doing the test from below??<ignorance> Just looking for some clarification - thanks!!

Impromptu gaper day at the Bowl - skied with the bestest man at my wedding who has been busy having kids and such. I "Rocked" his K2 Merlins all afternoon so that he could get on my Line Prophets. God I love the new ski technology.
You Worth Boys need to make some longer, straighter boards

Yes, it could fail. Getting the field work done to keep people safe can be dangerous.
Good day on the squirrel wheel today, no lines low till 10 meant rapid laps fo pow. Eug would know what this is...
Same shit different day = quiet skiing
I was asked "Why are your skis so wide"[Lotus 120], I replied, so I can float in the untracked woods. Couple runs here to finish out the day
I thought I saw Bottleman
Chatted up the Worth boys and Gal but skis were flying out so fast I did not get a spin on teh rocks with them

A little late, but shameless plug for tomorrow's rando race at Magic: the three descents on Upper Wizard > Talisman > Bail Out (ungroomed, nice & rattly) > Heart of Magician (ditto) > Lower Magician are kind of ho-hum, but it's the most difficult open terrain there now. (Plenty of snow, just too refrozen for the patrol to be convinced to open other terrain.)
However, we have spiced up the third ascent w/ a boot pack up Red Line.

Bolton Valley backcountry. Plenty of info available on the web. While you're at it, throw in some coin to help preserve the area permanently. They're only $35k short of their $1.85 million goal to save the BV Nordic & BC land from private sale. Deadline to raise the remaining funds is the end of this month. Originally Posted by mmckendry12

Good to see a bunch of you guys stop by today. Thanks for coming out!
Nice shots VTF! and good chatting.
I didn't get a chance to take advantage of the free ticket since skis were moving fast all day. But managed a morning skin up and a ski with Sequoiashan at Smuggs. Conditions were much improved over yesterday.

Poked around in the presidentials yesterday and found some deep, safe turns.
have to avoid the steeper terrain right now but lower angle thigh deep pow turns def didn't suck.
Today is more laid back: drinking and skiing. Happy St Patty's!

Sweet Drew! One of these days our schedules will connect. Looks like I missed a touchy but sick pow day. Good for you. Originally Posted by drewvw

Luck of the Irish must have been in play to put you in the right spot to talk a couple joey's out have a potential fatal mistake. They owe you a few pints.
Let's hope this next storm delivers snd resets things up high. I think March is going to flip flop like the rest of this winter and go out like a lion.
Happy green beer day. Drink a pint or two!

Hmmm, another pow day Tuesday? Lookin' good
North of I84 looks good, north of I90 even better. I'm hoping it's enough that my kids have no school because it's my day off.

People shooting ski areas should be sued.
