Ya should have just kept my mouth shut. Came on here to post a couple pics of the slide I triggered, and took some comments the wrong way. The circumstances in which my buddy had his pack on his sled (ripped shoulder strap) was discussed on the way in. It was a calculated risk to go through avy ally single file with repeated radio and visual contact. We had a fun, safe day and hope the other group did as well.

Hey, It's the Rimbey guys. My buddy Ray and I met you in there before when you were on the maiden voyage of your Pro. Sorry we never got to say hello this time.

Not sure about the mines but there was a Avy cycle that did hit golden area. If they have not come down, tread very lightly as another storm will be coming in and the sun for this weekend will definitely set up ideal conditions for slides.

Were alot of the big ones down going in yet?

Smaller slides all over the place and one came across the road while we were in there. 4 days of hot weather this week makes a tic toc for anyone doing hill climbs. We stayed to the safe slopes.

Not at trailhead. Ran into a few dudes that were in a different area part way out day before.

That was the Saturday? Got my days mixed up. Were you riding a sled with a Banner wrap, younger guy with an XM TSS turbo doo in your group?
