Beaver Creek had a decapitation BITD when the finish line was right at the base. Skier poached the closed course and got clotheslined by the wires over the finish line.
The above could happen in the bc by Billy Backcountry and the Bros using their ZOAs.

I'm skeptical that that thing could get you up a steep enough slope in deep enough snow to be worth the trouble.. Or it could be the first avalanche self rescue kit-=turn it on and the pulls you out of the pile.
Anyway--if there's a lift it's not BC anymore, by (my) definition

Jet powered backpacks are coming…

Seems interesting and slightly more useful skiing than this thing if it ever makes it to production. https://rewinch.com/

Should be even more fun when it’s ice-crusted paracord.

Hokey.
They need to make it a platter, you put thru your legs.
I was the first one up Indian Heads Poma on a 30” cold smoke day. I was exhausted at the top of a 600ft. mole hill.

Old technology. Guy name Bob Dog has been skiing the Crazy Mountains with a power head from a chainsaw for maybe 10 years and stringing rope all over the place.
I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

Could be sweet if it actually works. I'm entirely skeptical that it would actually work though. At least not without a relatively mellow slope and firm snow.
