Too many pow turns to remember which one was the best but up there was Solly two years ago. Snowed ridiculous amounts for 3 days. Next day bluebird, 4% snow and 25 with nobody around. That's like dream perfect. Wormed are way around into a fav area with big old Bristle Cone pines and boom just fucking epic turns run after run. I'm not sure if that was the best but its one that sticks out in my mind. Had some dope runs at Jay.....Hirafu....1000 other places but that day really sticks out in my mind.

Cool, looks like a sick trip.

serious lulz

Nice ! Go to Tuxs, everyone should go to Tux's at least once. Taking my brother for his first kinda BC trip sometime in May.

Really cool of CB, can't be there but still really cool.

All I know is Spring Mt. is the greatest mt. in the universe.

Dude I'm down for some $$$ but I'm getting ready to run out the door, somebody bump this monday.

indeed, I'm hoping the east wind drives all that snow smack into the face were skiing.

GFS shows rain for the coast maybe up to 90miles inland. Accuweather says maybe 1-2" for NYC area.

Nah no cabin there until spring, actually had a Dacks trip planned for this weekend since last year. Apparently my Karma is good.

Booyakasha......10 to 20" for my weekend excursion could be epic

GFS was showing 1-2ft for virgina to vt Certainly don't think we'll see that but still pretty cool potential for April.

Noice!!!

Good shit gents, looks like a real nice trip.

Hence why I wrote "60ft of propagation is what you are talking about." Reading is fundamental

serious lulz 60ft isn't possible. There are very very few places that have a pack of that depth and unless your landing a fucking jumbo jet on that slope you can't exert force at those kinds of depths. R5 or Class 5's have maxed out at maybe 12-20ft and those are extremely rare. 60ft of propagation is what you are talking about. There are crazy videos about the Euro 98/99 season, entire towns were buried, beacons were put on cats, I can't remember another season like that. This is just a cool video -

This is the saw you want - http://www.silkysaws.com/Silky_Saws/Folding-Straight_2/Silkys-BIGBOY-360mm-LG-Teeth-Hand-Saw Blade length is nearly perfect for cutting columns for compression tests, particularly the ECT. The large teeth are really nice for denser snow or ice layers. Its sorta pricey I guess for a snow saw but its well constructed, mine fell down 400ft of King Ravine plunking off rocks and you couldn't tell anything even happened to it. Its also big enough to use for more general wood cutting and such, I've cut up downed logs about 6" in diameter no problem, certainly if it was that large and green it might not work but that is more axe bow saw work. The handle is long enough that you can get a nice two handed grip if you really got to tear into a piece of wood. I see they have a newer one called the Katana that has an even larger folding blade, the big boy however is the perfect size for a BD day pack so this would probably be too long. So many snow saws are made by people who don't know anything about making saws and hence the saw is a piece of shit. Looking in your direction Life Link.

lulz I've generally found that we all play assholes on the internet but in real life the vast majority of the time people are cool. If he still has the proform I let you know, I think BD forms also had trekker beacons but I'm not sure I'm remembering that right. I thought Avy 1 and 2 were a ton of fun, you get to learn about snow and tour. Certainly in your neck of the woods its probably even better, we got Mt. W which is cool but I've been there alot and it has a very unique snowpack. I thought about 3 but that's probably not of any real use for me and they no longer offer in on the east coast as the field work had to be mostly theoretical. lulz on the EC snowpack

That's what I was wondering, lots of places have a rule but nobody has them on. The Pioneer gate at Brighton has crazy amounts of young kids running laps out there yet you turn you beacon to search and all you get is your partner.......thanks for the reminder time to check the batteries when I get home. If you blow into it right it sounds alot like a moose call, plus you could probably turn it into some kind of bong...lulz

First and foremost good to here everything went ok for you and your back in one piece. Certainly a good lesson for everyone about partner safety and human factors concerning riding in avy terrain. I may have a line on a cheap new lung, a buddy had and may still have BD proforms. I'll check and let you know. Were you beeping ? I strongly believe anyone riding in avy terrain should take at least avy 1, even EC dudes who want to run a little slack out west or whatever need to know what the fuck is going on at a basic level. Avy 1 is cheap and fun, shit even Avy 2 is cheap and fun. EDIT: The last paragraph wasn't meant for you Glenn, I know you have knowledge and skills just a more general statement on the lack of knowledge by riders.

Blue is even worse

SICK BIRD!!!!! Serious snow stoke.

Last night was dog shit, some of the worst snow I've ever tried to ride. The refreeze was not kind to the corn piles.....
