4:45pm, gearing up for lap 3, blackberry inside the hat while taking a work conference call. Call lasted 20mins while skinning the first 200' vert gain, all while mother nature is puking. I love work.

good use of your Avalung pack. heard it works well when you have it zipped up and stowed away
ReplyDeleteHa! Yea it does. No need to have it out if the terrain and conditions don't warrant it! Snowpack is fairly stable in Colorado, kind of. Not likely to trigger an avalanche, however there is a weak layer near the ground, so if you do trigger one, it'll be big...
ReplyDeleteNext time when you approach an avi slope take a deep breath. That will give you at least 3 minutes of fresh air, maybe 4. Snoworries should recover you by then with his beacon, probe, shovel. I'm glad to see you have faith in your backcountry partner. Good TEAMWORK! Just kidding. BE SAFE and STAY ON TOP
