Hi folks,
Just giving you a heads up that the Canadian Avalanche Centre has issued a Special Public Avalanche Warning (SPAW) on account of the touchy avy conditions for this weekend. The SPAW is in effect for the following regions:
North Rockies
North Columbias
South Columbias
South Rockies
Kootenay Boundary
South Coast

The SPAW is not saying "don't go out". What it is saying is that you should pay careful attention conditions and make sure you choose terrain that is suitable for the current conditions.

Remember, go big AND go home

I like that "Go Big And Go Home". Just put the sticker in my truck today.

Maybe the 4 dead in the last 5 days is saying "don't go out".
everyone that has passed on due to avalanche this year thought they were smarter or more careful or luckier than the last guy that was lost......They weren't, maybe you aren't either......:(:(:(

I have an ABS SB 15 avypack I'll sell to an S&M member with a minimum post count of 100 for 650 bucks. I'm done with this season in the mountains but would like to help save a life this spring if I could. I'll replace it next fall. PM me if anyones interested.
