[WhiteRoomCronic]

Dose anybody know of any avalanch 2 or 3 classes in the month of Nov or Dec? Somewhere in the vicinity of UTAH?

I took the American Avalanche Institute level 2 class a couple years back at Alta, i think it was in early January. The class was taught by Mark Newcomb and a couple of the original avalanche guys, so needless to say they were probably the best teachers you could ask for. The class was great, it definitely changed the way I look at snow and the snowpack. I would suggest it if they are still coming down your way.

You won't find an avy II course until jan/feb however. The list from last season can be found under the "Education" pulldown: http://www.avalanche.org/~uac/

same here, 'ceptin mine was at The Canyons. (Very odd to have a valet come up to the rental beater and take my skis and pack and shit.) Newcomb and the rest of the AAI instructors (Mike Ruth, Tom Kimbrough) were great.
