Wow, that was very interesting Scott. Thanks for sharing a glimpse into a world I knew nothing about. Little did our parents know what seed they were planting in you when they gave us ski lessons at Buck Hill :-). I loved the insights you shared, along with the photos and videos. The YouTube clip of an avalanche triggered by a skier was amazing. And I really enjoyed watching the video about snow pit testing. The guy who does the demo at the 5 minute mark is excellent. He reminds me a lot of Jack Nicholson. Go figure. Anyway, I love the blog. Looking forward to the next one!
RV Guy - great recap of what you learned. Have to say this backcountry skiing seems awfully high risk. Let’s get you out on a fat bike in a snowstorm, and see if that gives you an acceptable powder experience.

WOAH!! What a fun narrative! Thanks for sharing. From giant waves to slippery powder - that was a fun adventure to read.
The snow pit reminded me of a giant Cheese slicer :)
