@AlisenD it's not about 'snobery', it's about not being in survival mode and for your own safety. I'm happy to see that at least one of the guys had a beacon... don't know if the other had one and the training (AST1). The shovel is useless in case of a avalanche (the guys had one in plastic, it should be a small metal shovel, and the guy could get in much more trouble if he get caught); again I only seen one shovel. And the third essential gear to safety is a probe. You need this gear on you...

Yes nmcan84 perhaps us serious ones have a "tight ass" as you put it. I have personally known very experienced people who have lost thier lives working and playing around the Big Ones. Glad to see the two Barney's had a guide.

these daring manitobans are really from b.c.,i guess people can't joke around about the mountains,might get a tight ass like you complaining.
@murr181 - Thank you for helping make the case. Levity in context of adversity is key. The world is a dangerous place; be serious and focused when you must; but please do not find superiority in your perception of risk. Ski well!

That was so impressive. I guess I shouldn't have put my kids C-tire skis into the community garage sale. Good for you for drawing attention to the 'snobery' that is found in the back-country.
