Downhill carves at 30mph 4 ft of fresh!! Couldent see anything! Bluebird day. I just wish someone had there battery and we coulda got some good pictures.
O well all we would have got was a wave of snow.
Talked to Avy Reaserch guy today. He saw my pack and was like. Hey its you. Im lucky he didnt give me a lecture.
Ride safe everyone. Now olny if we had 3 more feet.![]()
he said. just because you have a avy pack dosent mean you should go around starting them . oh well. Nice guy.
yeah im fine. scared the living crap out of me. sled got stuck at the top of the break and i took the slide all the way down. prob a 500 ft run. Tried to swim and couldent even move. sled is fine and is back on the trailer. Freind watched while i got swept. Dad was behind a small hill so lucky he didnt see it as it happened. Really all I can say is. Thank god I got this pack. I was Burried up to my chest when it stoped.

AVALANCHE AND SNOWPACK DISCUSSION
No human or natural avalanche activity reported yesterday. Thursday, a snowmachine triggered avalanche was reported from the Seattle Drainage area. An ABS airbag was deployed and the rider was only partially buried. Still waiting to hear and learn from that rider. He described a crusty bed surface. Lisa went in search of this crust and found it at 2500 feet. It seems to be the upper reaches of that warm spell that occurred last week. The new snow old snow interface continues to be the most current concern, but is bonding better each day. All Lisa's stability tests had hard results.
bottomfeeder, Im not trying to be a jerk, so dont take this the wrong way...
Since involved in an avalanche last week, what have you done to increase your awareness of possible avalanche conditions? What conditions changed from Thursday to Saturday which would stabilize the snowpack? What made riding the hills safer? Which slopes are more prone to slide?
I would love to ride south next week, but i want to make sure the hills are safe before I roll that way.
Remember, if you wouldnt climb it without your beacon or abs pack, you definately shouldnt do it with them.
