They look like they got super stoked and just bombed it...shit happens.

Shit happens... like that and then you die.

Zooming groomers is enough thrill for me at this point.

Last year..super avi terrain...a bit scary but you can why we did it. Class 3 avi zones with class 4 above. Me..and the guide where the only ones who really knew what to do...and one of the group I believe had a hangover..which really helped.

Class 3 and 4? I suspect that is European given where you were. Is that the EAWS Danger Scale?

 

[Kingslug]

I think so..class 3 the guides will go out..4 is a no go. We skied across a lot of avi debris..that is scary..like a pile of bricks 100 feet wide

Heuristic traps will get you every time. Don't assume... Test!!!!

THE WHUMPH FACTOR. HEURISTIC TRAPS THAT CAUSE AVALANCHES

Could you get caught in an avalanche? These are the common Heuristic traps, human factors that can trigger avalanches and Jeremy Jones' Five Red Flags to avoid them.

Our guide pointed out a really nice looking valley..with no tracks..called it the valley of death..at the bottome it funnels and if it lets go..you die...

That’s why they get paid.

And it was a bargain. Our group of 5 110.00 a piece plus the lift ticket..and I think 30 for the airbag and beacon..I had my stuff except the airbag.
