    Crystal Mt Avalanche video

    I searched and couldn't find this posted and found it entertaining. Group dynamic shit show. Pardon my Jongness if this has already been beaten to death.. My favorite quote is "everyone, turn your probes to search". Regardless chick was lucky.

    I am hoping we can discuss Rowj's slide again with this free thread -

    how did those sunglasses not get lost?

    was that hat retired as a bad luck harbinger?

    suck it up princess" - XXX on getting off mj

    I don't see surviving an avalanche as bad or bad luck. not surviving one is both

    A harbinger is a predictor of things to come - get rid of that thing ASAP!

    wear that hat in GoS again and it is a torn ACL at minimum. It will make second edition of "not w/o peril - serious wardrobe mistakes that led to disaster"- that chick from Grizz slide could barely pull off wearing that thing

    I missed this last year, but what's with the feeding frenzy to make maybe 6 turns and then pole through the flats in someone else's tracks?

    good reminder of what not too do, and the impact of group dynamics and proper (improper) communication. even small mistakes can add up to the greatest consequence. though I am not opening the door for past discussion. vid still gave me chills.

    stay safe out there boys and girls

    That spot is the standard return from a bunch of really great long steep runs to the north side of the base area most of which are gated and If I recall were only opened mid morning that day. Hence the stampede to get back to the Gondy.

    Come down when there's snow and we'll show you.
