Billy 0 #1 January 22, 2003 Have you heard about this?? On the National news they were discussing the fact that there was 300+ years of experiance in the group, guides, avalanche beacons, etc etc,, and it still happened,,, then the question "is it worth the risk??" The lone survivor of the avalanche said "it's better then dying of boredom watching TV" Good answer eh... I told my coworkers.. What a stupid fuckin question!! I've worked as a Pro Ski Patroller, made bombs and triggered avalanches, been caught in 3,, is it worth the risk??? IMHO,, no,, ya all should stay home,,, stay home and leave the untracked powder for me!! Natural Born FlyerZ.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymama 37 #3 January 22, 2003 Yeah, I saw that on the news this morning that the guy was asked if he would back country ski again because of the accident. It made me think of all the people who freak out when someone in skydiving dies, and asks me if I'll jump again.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
