I know that this might be a touchy subject because of events of late, but i thought i should share. I was caught in a small slide yesterday because of a bad decision i made yesterday. I was not hurt but i got taken for a ride in about 5 feet of snow, in a very narrow chute. Please take care out there

haha well having JUST walked in the door from my onhill avalanche course stuff, just from what i've learned in my class, a little heads up when you're skiing backcountry is to check the snow you're going to be skiing with.. just grab handfulls of snow deep down in a bank and see what the conditions are like. if ya have time,make a snow pit :) and if you're in an avi, try to get to the outside, or try to swim.
