    With big snow comes big risk

    We've had some discussion about avalanches, treewell deaths, traffic issues, crowds and just about every other thing that we deal with during a big snow year. This article from OutThere is quite sobering, especially the statistics at the end. This is the 17th skier/snowboarder death of the...

    Pealess whistle

    Its been a very long time since I've thought about a pealess whistle, but the recent thread about the tree well death and @cantunamunch's post about being "audible" made me think again about having a pealess whistle handy when tree skiing. I have one around here somewhere, maybe time to dig it...

    How close is too close?

    Many of us stop on the trail for one reason or another. Of those, I'm sure most of us here try and be cognizant of where we are on the run and if we stop, we stop in, hopefully, the best place possible. Some place over near the side and in plain site. That's a track from a snowboarder that...

    Dressing Defensively

    In the old days, injuries on the hill were mostly self-inflicted. I don't know what the statistics say, but anecdotally it seems like more and more the risk lies not in ourselves, but in our fellow snow sports enthusiasts. (Notice how I didn't single out snowboarders). I experienced a collision...
