  • @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.

  • @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...

  • @murr181 these guys actually have more mountain time than you know with expeditions all over the world. they knew what they were doing to yank yer chain. relax and enjoy it for what it is...good ol' mountain fun.

  • "stop at a pizza hut on route, been hitting a lot of huts lately, probably hit the last one" ha ha so good

  • 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.
