I know this is a dumb question, but when you go into the backcountry to build a kicker, what do you do to make sure you don't get lost on the way out? The only reason I'm concerned about this is that a lot of people have gotten lost in the backcountry around here lately, and tomorrow my friends and I are going out to build a kicker. So, if you know what you're talking about, give me some advice. Otherwise, leave. Now.


Girls don't like sensitive guys. Since I don't treat women like objects, I have to treat objects like women.

Check the weather, and make sure it's going to be good. Have cell phones and make sure someone else, that's not going, knows the area in which you're going to be. If you aren't really comfortable with the area and your surroundings, and think you could get lost easily, don't go. People get lost becuase they are inexperienced and ill prepared, don't be like them.

sometimes when im running water to wash dishes or something, i think about how lucky i am to have such simple access to running water and how some people will never know such a simple pleasure.

then i let it run for awhile, just because i can.

Phones??? I don't know about where you are, but around here, there's not Cell Phone access in the backcountry, or even at the mountain for that matter. It's satellite phones or nothing.

Just follow your footprints/skin trails or, if you can see the mountain's runs from where you are, ski down to where they are.
