  1. great post! I hope everyone watches the whole clip and understands that it could have very well of been one of our crew.
    Since my move to Utah, I have triggered and witnessed many slides and have been caught in my own sluogh many times. That shit is no joke and people have to "know before they go"
    I put many links for avalanche awareness on the blog and encourage everyone to use thim. I check the avi report everyday and dig pits often. Dig those pits, slope cut everything, and cornice cut where possible everytime your out in the bc and your life has a much better chance of being spared!!!!!

  2. Great clip to bring AWARENESS. I got sloppy last year, and saw first hand what could happen. Fatigue will let us get sloppy and that's when all hell could break loose. My RULE- No backcountry gear. No backcountry. Plain and simple. Thanks Snowboy for the posting.
