Avalanche airbag rucksack. A tool in the arsenal that you hope you never use in anger, like a seatbelt.
Re: General snow stuff
Appreciate the review.
I'm staying very conservative and using terrain management but if I move to Europe or find some decent touring buddies I'll get one, probably the Avabag with the Litric system and the swappable pack sizes for hut tours.

Re: General snow stuff
I hope you mean the 9th? No chance you'll make it this weekend.
The forecast for the higher points is 160km/h winds and up to 12ft of snow.
It goes without saying but because you'll be frothing, the avalanche danger will be insane and it's not a good time to experiment off piste if you are a beginner.
I'm waxing my powder board this weekend, may see you on the hill next Sunday.
The Indy Pass is being re-opened for purchase this week and allows 2 days at a few local smaller places. It's worth checking out if you want variety.

I have not my friend, worth the extra 30 minutes to travel?
I'm going to Dodge Ridge on Sunday with the boy. Aiming to get there around 08:30 at the latest as I'm expecting it to be busy.

Re: General snow stuff
Haven't been to either. Weighing my options for Sunday.
Re: General snow stuff
Grooter I blame you specifically for the great weather we are having, ever since you bought your gear.
If you are interested, the Indy Pass goes off sale today. I got one for next season.

8 minute vid. New longest ski jump world record. There’s a lot of planning goes into it.

Re: General snow stuff
I was a little underwhelmed by that jump given the prep, to be honest. It shows just how good the world record is off a standard jump.
We went to the jump just outside Oslo and they have a really cool ski museum, everything from cross country to ski jumping.
