High marking = fail

OK, I know this is off-topic unless we’re talking Stephen Koch but DAMN that’s a huge slab!  This year the ‘bilers have proven to be rather susceptible to avalanches (23 dead in the BC area alone!), and this year has probably been a massive eye opener for the sled scene to up their avy knowledge.  I know in my avy 1 class of eight one of the guys was a sledder who was in the Fernie to sled with his son during December when seven snowmobilers were caught in fatal avalanches. Was interesting to hear his perspective and how on that weekend he was awaken to the relationship between ignorance and mortality.

Anyways, the vid. Clemina Creek, Canuckistan.

One pic TR: some Saturdays are better than others

Bluebird pow two weeks after the last storm?  Yes, I’d have to say this was better than going to a wedding.

Seriously, you never once looked back to see how your friend was doing? FRS radio much? Never looked down the edge of the slope that you were only two or three feet away from?

Undaunted and seemingly unaware of his friends’ mishap, the first person continued to the peak of Milly headed to the pre-planned destination. Two groups of Brighton employees not far behind were headed to Wolverine as well and were alerted of the incident via cell phone. Putting the pieces of the puzzle together they realized the person ahead of themwas involved in the incident and told him he needed to get back to Brighton and check in with the patrol confirming he wasn’t a missing person in the debris. Instead, the person went on to put a lap in Wolverine Bowl, then exited through the Stupid Chute, eventually making his way back to the Brighton Resort over an hour later where he alerted ski patrol personnel that he was safe and accounted for.

Epic fail of a human.

Don’t ski the BC with this guy

Wanted: New friend
