I dont know exactly what the level 1 class is but i am sure i will be able to come. I havent really been to a class and would like the training. I just have been to the things they come and teach. I would defiantly attend.
Yea. level 1 class for me too. I will drag Kevco along....he will get to rescue me someday! eh big sal??!!!
Can you 2 just promise me you'll save the mouth to mouth for the real life experience. I know Kev with want to practice this technique as much as he can but I just don't want to throw up
in front of everybody.

ttt. I want to get some more info on when this course might take place and let more people know.
I'd really like to make it to this also. I transplated here from Michigan and have zero avy knowledge at this point.
Please put me on the list of people that would like to attend and will be bringing about 5 others with me.
Thanks again
Thanks again
I thought I was coming up with a good idea when I emailed you this week craig. Guess I should have checked out SW first. Snow pack is pretty scary in the Uintas and I am down for some good hands on training.
It's going to be very sketchy this winter. I fell off in the POW today and I was able to pull out sheets of ice about a foot and half under the fresh stuff I was riding in.

I need to know all I can. I don't climb like SH for the fun of it. I climb to get from A to B. Bring it on, we're ready.....
I don't climb like SH for the fun of it. I climb to get from A to B. Bring it on, we're ready.....I was ridind up Gaurdsman Friday and came down a ridge no one had been on this year and a layer about 3" deep kept sheering off and sliding down the mountain in front of me.
Not a big deal, a 3" avalanche but it was an extremely weak layer and with the new snow now it would be an 18" layer and by the time this storm lets up it could easily be a 3' layer and that will be real bad!!
Be careful everybody.
And we all need to learn all we can.

bad start
Skier buried IN BOUNDS at Snowbird today. My nephew was on the probe line looking for a second victim. Hopefully just the one girl. She is at the hospital and has a pulse. Critical condition. God willing she had an air pocket or has luck on her side. I doubt it will be a happy ending. That terrain was just opened today. The back country will suck for a while after this big snow. be careful. 
Now there is a second burial at Desolation Lake. Sounds like the skier was dug out and is ok... The Snow Pack is dangerous!
