Condolences to her husband, son, family, friends. I had read that piece in ML and it was clear she certainly was a formidable student and appreciator of the mountains.
I don't know enough to understand what I'm seeing in that picture, but it doesn't seem like a "simple" avalanche, given the inconsistent terrain and multiple crowns.

Irrelevant but not worth it's own thread.
Anyone know of any shop in Whistler/Vancouver sell binding freedom inserts or will do the work?

Used up my final Edge card days over the weekend, and it was a good weekend! I wasn't really expecting much due to the lack of new snow, but Saturday was a great day. Snow conditions were surprisingly good. The weather couldn't make up its mind yesterday. The alpine lifts were closed for about an hour around noon due to lightning, but there was a little fresh snow and it wasn't too crowded. Probably my last trip up this season and it certainly ended on a high note.

First bear sighting of the season yesterday on the mountain, a decent size black bear casually traipsing across Lower Dave, much to the delight of the crowd at Dusty's (and a few skiers who stopped right next to it to take pictures). Went off towards Kadenwood for some high class leftovers.
Edit - guess it mighta been this one, though certainly not the only recently risen ursine traveler in the area.

I have grave concerns for the forecast this weekend.

Forecast not looking as bleak this morning as the last few days, unless I'm missing something? Warm today but looks to be cooling off by the morning. Anyone know what this means as far as returning from Blackcomb slack via Decker/7th this spring, are they plowing Green Line/Easy Out?

that still doesn't look terrible to me. Hoping we may wipe out some of those sketchy layers.
I think dont think there would be anyway you could safely come back in thru Easy Out without ending up in the construction zone, as i think you would have to go right under the new cat skinner chair, unless you can sneak out down that shitty glade before gear jammer.
Its hard to tell whether that ski area boundary line is currently where it is, or where it will be, with a little gap to get out.

Hmm yeah could be a wet one. Think I'll ski the resort tomorrow anyway, running out of weekends to ski as we are lounging in Palm Springs the next two weekends. That's what season passes are for...
You're probably right, I doubt they will want people passing through that area at all while they are working... probably have to come back through Blackcomb glacier side or get back in time for a bump up 7th.

Got pretty warm up top yet was also snowing wet flakes as low as base of Garbo. I was off of Peak chair early afternoon and the snow was plentiful but quite heavy. I think it would've been rippable had I been able to see past my nose. Going to head up this morning and see what there is to see.
Tues/Weds look promising if things hold up.
