[icelanticskier]

as i was exiting lower dogleg gully i ran into SAR on the upper GOST. they stopped and immediately asked me if i knew anything about an avalanche that had just occurred. i said i bet i know right where it happened and i climbed with them back up the trail to gully #2 where i had last seen todd and john. all folks in the area then formed a large probe line.

amazing how much snow came down. that thing skied well into june that spring.

Did you see the unnamed climber?

Did you see the unnamed climber?

never saw him. i think he musta split after scanning the debris area. i think it was either he or the outing club that happened to be in the area that reported the slide which put SAR into action.

Final reminder for the Eastern Snow & Avalanche Workshop this coming Saturday, November 10:
http://www.esaw.org/welcome/schedule/

In addition to presenters from New England & the Daks, presenters are coming from the Sawtooths and Chic Chocs, for a total of a dozen different presentations – probably enough for a two-day event!

Registration opens at 7:30, and then the presentations start at 8:15, wrapping up at 4:30 with a short move over to IME for socializing and vendor displays. Throughout the day we’ll have raffles, with about 40 items ready to be loaded up (once I unpack from West Virginia...) from Shefftz Ski & Sports (i.e., my basement), plus a bunch of freebies at registration.

Given the big day and anticipated big attendance, preregistration is strongly encouraged:

And until then, just stay out of trouble, okay?
