Added some more stuff- the OECZone link is great but I'm reluctant to do more then that as first aid is another whole topic in itself but absolutely necessary.
Added Ttips Avalanche Class forums - if I add individual class links then I'll have to update all the time.
Added a bunch of other misc stuff - Conway's Corner, MEC avalanche series
I endorse the Sticky proposal. Perhaps move to tech talk?
Nice try, but reading sucks. I'm off to build a gnar gnar booter in the quad.

Awesome job digging all that up. That will be a huge resource gide for me as I begin to take classes, and slowly venture into the BC this year.
Thanks man, good reference
Added
section on heuristic traps and human factors
ptavv's excellent burial story
OEC - first aid sections
After seeing some scary skin tracks on the Spearhead traverse this weekend thought this would need some bumpage.
should be STICKY in the Slide Zone forum
hey, this is awesome! i was just thinking about how to ask, without being too jongish, how one goes about learning about BC touring and where a good place to start would be. this definitely is a great start.
just one quick question, and maybe theres already a place on here that i just havent come accross yet, but how do you find an experienced "mentor" to show you the initial proverbial ropes? i dont know anyone that goes out in the bc, so im really kind of at a disadvantage of knowing who is reliable and trustworthy and who could really teach me what i need to know. how does a newbie hook up with some experienced treckers and are people usually open to people who might possibly slow them down in the interest of teaching them the ropes?
Someone needs to add AKPM's avy incident as a case study of what not to do.
Thank you! I have been looking for some of this information.
Whether in the Slide Zone or elsewhere, this thread really needs a sticky.
The NAXO vs Freeride link seems to be broken.
thanks for headsup. Searched - looks like it's been deleted.Quote:

I just finished my three-day CA Avi I course in Kicking Horse today. My eyes are about five times as open as they were on Friday morning. Thanks for the links to a ton of awesome info :)
Thanks for all the work, LeeLau!
This is really great.
