3) Do you have a Probe?

4) Do you have a communication system/GPS?

5) If you have and done the above .....Do you know how to use this equipment PROPERLY to find your BUDDY's?

(because your new buddies aren't worried about finding you...it's can you find them).

6] Shovel
7] First aid kit
8] Newbies always buy sammiches[ and don't smash them up]

Most excellent additions to the list of ?'s of do you have ST....

actually it is amazing that you (FAB1) would aask something like that. thanks I didn't expect that question. I just finiished buying a new shovel, saw, and probe. I already have a first aid kit. what is an AVY course and how do I get involved in something like that? are they mandatory? I am in the process of getting a GPS/communication device. I heard that Beacons could be rented, is that true?

I plan to go riding with experienced riders, who will fill me in on it all. but I haven't heard of the AVY course.

Do they all have AVY training? Before you even ride are they going to spend a minimum of a few hours on the hill training you the basics on how to read conditions, properly use your beacon and how to probe/dig for a body (or multiple bodies) prior to riding so when they are all buried you can find them?

Sorry if I sound like a AZZHOLE but these are all the ? that my EXPERIENCED friends asked me when I started riding and also what I needed to do and know before they took me off the trail.
