Incredible day at Stevens Pass

I've got a pair of Pieps I's from my ski mountaineering days, plus an ortovox I picked up at a yard sale that I cannot identify, about the size of many flasks I see people carrying. I can't find anything close to it on their web site. 457 kHz has been universally standard for almost 20 years. Maybe there's a ski museum that would like your's for display. This control avalanche was actually outside the ski area boundary. Around here many people wear their beacon in-bounds on sketchy days, and certainly all the patrol. PS Have you seen the monster Avalanche at Ruepehu video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwtxNYt6r5U This thing never stops. I had not seen that one. I do have memories of one near Alta from the old days when I took the ski mountaineering class. The cameraman died in that one. It went down one side and way up the other side of the canyon to where the cameraman was. |
