"Look at me, I'm being cool by looking like a wannabe gaper, who is really not a gaper, because I'm actually the best skier on the mountain, but I don't want you to know it, except for me wearing this hat that describes me."Quote:

Well I guess talking about tacky hats makes sense since it doesn't look like it's going to snow until April.
Anyone see friends of CAIC's post with the POV of the loveland pass avy?
The level of riding among backcountry skiers/riders is astoundingly poor these days. I really try to reserve judgement concerning avalanches since it's always "hard tellin' not knowin" (also since you guys really did it for me a few pages back here haha), but the guy could barely even make turns before it even happened.
With all these superthreads, I lose track of what was discussed where. So those of you that backcountry ski please check both the Jones Pass and Loveland Pass incidents from yesterday.
I get the feeling that we all do pretty good with our Culture of Safety. Please, please, please...speak up both in person and in other online communities to encourage conservative decision making. I feel that we have passed the inflection point and are losing the battle.
Believing your own bullshit and ignoring the Avalanche Forecast & Discussion is becoming the new norm. We need to own the fact that this isn't sustainable. If we keep having CRAD and SAR deployments and deaths the appetite for us to keep doing our thing will disappear.
Hey bro, you holdin'?Quote:

Hard to tell exactly from the POV (and it’s been a few years since I was in the area) but was that person skiing skiers right of Idiots?Quote:

You know that there have been multiple large human triggers avalanches lately right? We love to look for patterns and convince ourselves that it couldn't be use 'cause it doesn't look like us. It's a fucking cop out. There is much less commonality than people want to admit.Quote:

I don't have any illusions that if we could only get through to that one guy, all our avalanche problems would be solved. But maybe that specific guy will stay alive.Quote:
