Heh, listen to you you judgemental little prick. I made a statement. Those that feel that they're decisions aren't swayed by the gear they carry, know that and feel confident in that. However there are many whose decisions are swayed when using the latest/greatest. Many lines would not be dropped by skiers that don't have a bag verses those who do. Simple.

And I was never disputing that some people are swayed by what is in their pack- there have been and always will be those people.
Just the gross generalization that anyone who chooses to wear an ABS pack, as I do, just doesn't use their brain or is negligent.
That is what I was dispelling and you were snooty about it. So accept snoot back if you can dish it out

This whole scenario is fucked. First anyone that thinks skiing inbounds with a sketchy snowpack is safe is retarded. Inbound slides can and do happen. Second, if your going into the BC or Side country in this case there is NEVER an excuse to not have your avy gear. Third if your a photog, your avy gear is the lightest part of your kit. Once again your fucking retarded if it doesn't stay in your camera pack 247. There is no reason to ever take it out. Fourth, The resorts around SLC especially Little Cottonwood canyon bread stupid backcountry decisions in my mind with there polices of opening up sketchy mid mountain traverses instead of making people hike and ski from the top. Shit like this pisses me off. It gives all of us trying to make a liking shooting ski pics a bad name. It's one thing if you have all of your shit together, discuss the possible scenarios and shit just goes wrong. Its an entirely another case if you are out shooting on a sketchy day with no gear.
BTW really curious to know who the photog / skiers where.

my last comment on this incident is this:
after reading the UAC report and talk with the girl, this is my question...
they thought they were being "avy savy" by sending the group member with gear first. what good does this do if nobody else has rescue gear? were they blindly counting on the fact that other user groups out there had the gear and knowledge to affect a rescue? after years and years of witnessing the collective grizzly gulch shitshow grow, i wouldn't ever blindly count on the fact that other groups in that area would be able to help in any way.

The guy in pic 3 of the report seems to be the photog, blue pants and black jacket. You can seem him in the lower lookers left corner of the shot where she trigger the slide. Anyone?

Sierra Quitquit?
It was probably someone trying to get an action shot for Black Diamond of the air bag pack in deployment.

Its no "accident that could happen to any of us" when only one in the party is carrying proper avey gear. Its called ignorance and shear stupidity.

Obviously they were going for the "go straight and lay down in the snow" pow shot. How many times have we seen that shit?! Takes way more talent and skill from both skier and photographer to capture a real, unique moment in time from actually ripping a creative, safe line. I think how you got it should count just as much as how it looks.

I have a feeling that we aren't getting the whole story yet. I doubt that there would be only one person in a group with avy gear. She probably had other skiers in the group who hadn't dropped yet who were equipped. Photog was located in a safe spot. Just trying to give them benefit of the doubt until we here the whole story.

something about this whole thing still strikes me as odd. There isnt even an attempt to keep skiing. As soon as the slide breaks skier stops. No point it down, no keep going skiers right. Just seems weird...
