Yes because the buried individual had the good sense to take out his avalanche bacon.

6 inches fresh and riding the first chair of the day:

"Man, I hope it doesn't snow too much more so I don't have to put on my goggles.

Why don't you want to put on your goggles?

So I can see all the powder I possibly can!"

On the other hand, gotta give him props for getting up there early on a powder day!

My GF at a tune-up shop: "I am very new, I don't want to go too fast, please put only a thin strip of wax in the middle of my skis"

LOL she kept bugging me of she should wax her skis or not. I convinced her she could get a thin strip if she's that scared of full wax. Had a good laugh with the tech

I guess a five year old can't really be a gaper but still--the little kid comes down through the park on his snowboard , puts on the brakes when he gets to a long box, crawls up on to the box on his belly, and then slides down the box on his knees, with his board still on. He received much cheerful encouragement from the lift. Little kids are great (most of the time)

Kid must have been training for Alaska...

Bwaaahahaa!!! I think I got suckered into paying like $300 too much for my bacon...

Real question: Have avalanche dogs ever saved someone's life?

**jahoney** · 03-13-2012, 01:58 AM

real reason dogs can sniff out people in avalanches: their bacons

**Chris..** · 03-13-2012, 08:23 AM

I imagine that avvy dogs would probably save your life pretty quickly if you were actually attached to the bacons. Maybe instead of RECCO we should start putting bacon on outerwear

**Caucasian Asian** · 03-13-2012, 09:05 AM

Avy dogs just follow the CARCA cats to the scene. CARCA is the real heroes.

"Are those pods for the ski boards?"

My Dad, asking about a Thule rooftop box.

**TahoeJ** · 03-13-2012, 10:49 AM

My understanding is that avalanche dogs are much better at finding corpses than people.

A ski patroller expressed to me that it lent a certain sense of assuredness after the probe-line, beacon sweep, etc etc. Plus, I imagine you can find lost people that aren't corpses yet.

I think that is generally good advice. in all walks of life

Razzing a "skier" who is missing the best storm systems of the season, an epic pow day and a 40 year best from last week. "Real men work, little boys ski" LMFAO the butthurt.

Actually cadaver dogs are rewarded by being allowed to eat a little bit of the victim. True that.

Getting on the lift at Monarch, there are a total of five people in the maze, a guy shouts "single" about ten times. Shockingly, no one wanted to ride up with him.

Wow you set up your girlfriend and laughed at her with the shop tech?

maybe you should just date him

Said loudly by some random dude in the lift 6 line at Loveland: "Boy, that black we just skied sure was tough!"
Dude's buddy: "That was a blue".
Dude: "Are you sure? The moguls all had little trees behind them!"
(There are no black runs served by that lift.)

Beats the lift line etiquette I saw about a month ago. We had a little fresh snow, and the initial powder frenzy had died down, but there were still some lift lines. As I was in line and nearing the chair, five singles in a row got on before me.

I'm sure on his death bed a "skier" will be thinking "I should've worked more and blown off some of those powder days".
