Any recommendations ?? Im lookin wide-eyed at what I see around here...Lots of ideas...Just wondering if anyone else has experience in this area. Sorry. I'm not even sure what state you are talking about. Of course, I live in a different country, so that might have something to do with it. |

In terms of the lack of responces to your posts, July is the slow season for skiing. Could be everyone is over at rec.climbing. Of course, that has been slow as **** lately, too... |

Sorry...In reading many of the posts in here, I assumed the vast majority of people were located in Utah. I really doubt it, but Utah tends to be a destination area for both "BC" (I use that term loosely for the tri-canyons) and resort folks. Most posters left rsb years ago for one of the many Web-Based discussion groups, you may have more luck there. I haven't skied up yonder and you really didn't provide any details as to what you're looking for, but here are some pointers: You have a fine local avalanche center w/ daily updates, class schedules and great pics. I'd really suggest continuting your education by taking another Level I or II class. It's always good to learn from the resident gurus plus you'll meet more like-minded locals. http://www.avalanche.org/~uac/BRAIC/ Gnarly: http://www.avalanche.org/~uac/BRAIC/...nyon1-4-05.htm Go to the annual Fiesta in September @ Black Diamond. You can meet the local forecasters, grab a drink, food, dance, and buy stuff at the silent auction: http://www.avalanche.org/~uac/fuac-events.htm Buy the books/maps. These are the bibles: http://www.cs.utah.edu/~hanscom/WasatchTours.html (probably Vol. 2) http://www.alpentech.net/cgi-bin/alp...hCatalog.html? id=zzGhrUS6 (Map 4?) I'm less impressed with Tyson's book: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/076...54?v=glance&n= 283155 Instead of paying $8.00+/USGS quad, I usually buy a Mapping CD when I move somewhere new. Besides, then you can print custom maps, no worries about seams, etc, but it looks like they're pricey now. I prefer the maptech software. http://www.maptech.com/ http://www.ngmapstore.com/jump.jsp?i...EGORY&itemID=9 There are a bunch of "free" topo map sites as well http://www.topozone.com -K |

Thanks again. De nada. Another good book w/ Utah roots you might want to read before your avalanche class in December or so is Bruce's excellent book "Staying Alive in Avalanche Terrain": http://www.mountaineersbooks.org/pro...ils.cfm?PC=472 I've re-read it the past few years and still pick up a few tidbits that didn't sink in before. Ed LaChapelle's "Secrets of the Snow: Visual Clues to Avalanche and Ski Conditions" might be worth a quick read as well: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/029...63?v=glance&n= 28315 You should be able to find most of these books in the USU Library if strapped for funds, Amazon, local bookstores, etc. Enjoy, and post a TR next season. We usually just say "Somewhere near Alta", but for you it might be "Somewhere near Idaho". -K |

your avalanche class in December or so is Bruce's excellent book "Staying Alive in Avalanche Terrain": High on my list of avalanche books is Snowy Torrents. It's the avalanche version of the climber's accident reports. The Avalanche Center has it for $20. Your local ski shop or book store may have it too. http://www.avalanche-center.org/stor...torrents4.html -- The suespammers.org mail server is located in California. So are all my other mailboxes. Please do not send unsolicited bulk e-mail or unsolicited commercial e-mail to my suespammers.org address or any of my other addresses. These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
