I set this slide off yesterday. Snowkiting is starting to sound pretty good to me now!

I used to do a lot of B/C skiing-- but the avvy risk is always there-- and the day you want the snow the worst is usually the worst day to go out. And the best conditions usually involve a 5am departure, a 3-4 hour climb and then you have your turns.

I REALLY like how you can have so much fun with kiting but stay out of the avvy danger too. And it fits my schedule a lot better too.

My brother and two others were rescued last year in a big slide. It broke over the top of them while hiking. The other skiers wives put a stop to them going but my brother still persists. Living through a slide once is more than lucky. It is important to play safe out there.

Ralph- I was able to ski off of the moving slab to skiers left. You can see my tracks skiing off in the photo. Mike- The slope was SE facing off of Wolverine towards the Supreme lift.
