Ski with Sage Cattabriga-Alosa in Alaska (3/31 - 4/6)!!!
Tangent: when this came up I did a quick check to see if it was possible. It isn’t, but my fantasy included an equipment and skills check. And two questions…
1. I immediately figured I’d bring my 191 Renegades. They’re a maple core proto pair, so a little bit heavier and stiffer than standard, and I wouldn’t hesitate to rock them anywhere, especially if it’s steep, though if there isn’t a powder/soft crud payoff I’d just as soon have something else in tight bumps or groomers. Fine print says they want something cambered and these aren’t that. Would the Rens be a bad choice? Why?
2. I have no avy knowledge and have no avy gear. I’m pretty good at following directions and am quicker than the next guy, usually. How big a barrier would that be? How best to bridge the gap in the meantime in a place far removed from any kind of avy class?focus.Comment

Just guessing here. But I’m assuming they suggest something with camber as they’ve had too many experiences of people showing up with full reverse skis that they’ve never skied and struggling. I’m also positive they have tons of experience dealing with people with no avi gear/knowledge experience. I was really close to booking this, had a rental car and airplane ticket. Decided to go to Haines instead. I’m taking 196 and 186 OG renegades.Comment
