What a fuking POS. A thread about 7 people dying and this narcissistic fuk post a pic of himself hiking with skis on shoulder. Way to go Cunted one, another thread cunted.

The other ironic part, mentioned in that awesome thread "cold autumn day on the rockpile", is the statement that it was waist to chest deep snow that day. Good thing the guy that goes packless in a known slide path in those conditions is the guy dishing out the avy advice aplenty.

Mebbe it was hour 73 and everything was g2g?

I said id never post in another thread where people died out of respect and because I am not a professional. So first of all. +VIBES+

But this is sorta important. On my ast2 one of the other students asked the guide what the deepest skier triggered slab(/crownline) he'd personally seen was. Awesome question and the answer has influenced a lot of my decision making. If I recall correctly the guide said 80-100 cm for skiiers/boarders and 150 cm for sledders, certainly not 2 metres though, and no way in hell I'm gonna worry about instabilities that are 4 metres down...

Its such a freak occurrence its like getting struck by lightning. I come from the Canadian Rockies though, where snow storms pack significantly less punch, in general, than they do in Japan. But Im under the impression that this is insane even for Japan.

80/100cm is a good lesson. We might consider the initial measurement to be surprisingly small, but it builds to carry even more energy. Like the recent Utah event, the armchair quarter backers were saying she should have be able to ski out of it, complacency can be dangerous.

Do you mean the 2-4 meter event is like a lightening strike?

[theshredder]

Do you mean the 2-4 meter event is like a lightening strike?

Yes. As in you need to be extremely unlucky to hit a weak layer that far down if you're on skis. A student at ASARC was doing some work on mapping compression forces through the snowpack around skiers/boarders and it basically comfirmed the 80-100cm(/150cm) skier(/sledder) thing. (force drops off to like 0-5% of the skiers weight at around 100 cm, depending on the type of snowpack>) I'd dig it upl but I'm finished researching stuff for the time being...

I've seen firsthand a skier triggered 6 meter crown. It sucked. I've also seen an uncontrolled 6 meter crown slide which hit an area with regular sidecountry traffic (should have killed someone...) + 2 more 6 meter controlled crowns in the last 3 years. I'm assuming your statement about not worrying about stuff 4 meters down was sarcastic..... Even in maritime snowpacks, slides involving 1 storm cycle can easily step down to deep old instabilities.

Haha I thought the same thing and then recalled that their longest ski for awhile was like a 165 so who would want them anyway. it's fitting that he brags all the time about lame pursuits. pretty sure they make longer ones now but also pretty sure Roj had that handle back when they were hobbit skis.

But the slides probably weren't triggered at 6 m.
