Buried Ski

I'm not really expecting any success with this, but it's worth a try. My brother was skiing some backcountry around Loveland Pass, he parked at Berthod Pass and skied down into the tree line towards the road. About half way down, he lost one ski (Icelantic Shaman 10/11 with Marker Griffon binding) under the powder on Sunday, February 20th. Again it's just a stab in the dark, but if anybody picked this up, please let me know.

He said it was his bro, so give him the benefit of the doubt... Still, which pass makes a huge difference haha. Also, you'll have better luck on TGR. If it's Berthoud, check the Berthoud conditions thread.

and i hate to turn this thread around, but i fuckin hate it when kids like you post shit like this, grow up, you first of all knowing where two passes are doesn't constitute how good anyone is at skiing, and second of all, it wasn't me. I'm just trying to help my bro find half of an expensive set up
