sun doing its thang today, crusts abound.
Awesome question - this is on my mind as well. Curious about the collective’s response.Quote:

I admittedly use to just blindly ski inbounds without a care in the world and now see the light for better or worse. Apologies in advance for the elementary question from my jongy self.

If you're solo, I'd be more worried about tree wells than avys. We've had three inbounds tree well deaths in the last month (bridger, JHMR, mammoth).Quote:

Given the amount of snow up there, I think it'd be reasonable to ride with an airbag + beacon if it eases your mind at all. A little "pre-caution", even when solo, is better than no "precaution" (I notice lots of people doing this on powder days at resorts like Whistler, Revelstoke, etc. but guessing it's either posing or they're bouncing out the gates). But yeah, I think it's normal to at least think about the sketchy areas that have slid even when patrol has called it good.
Got out in mid BCC this morning for some low angle powder laps with friends.... still got this grin on my face.Attachment 363675
TFW and WRA having an open conversation on this thread. Cut out the crap and listen to what these guys have to say. This is wasatch mentoring on another level. I’ve got a good bottle of Irish whiskey I’d love to drink and gleam some wisdom from these luminaries. Don’t want to diminish you’re knowledge Jimmy. But I’m always interested to hear more thoughts from the wizard. Bruce and him have the longest memory of dealing with avalanche conditions without the benefit of explosives in the wasatch. The way I see it as there’s 4 wise sages we still have access to. Bruce, WRA, Titus and tfw. Let the knowledge flow! There’s plenty of padawns awaiting your lessons. I’ll never forget “keep your head up, hike at a speed where you can see the terrain” and “if snow is the problem, terrain is the answer”. Curious as to what WRA’s simple advice is. Heal up legend.
^Agreed, These two are legends, and TFW might be one of new favorite people hahaQuote:

no insight but love your handle, lolQuote:

I heard the Peruvian parking lot is a great spot to post up for a few nights :fm:
Nothing wrong with some low angle pow.
