Found this link on another site, not too sure if it has been posted on S&M yet.

Even though they are skiers it is a true story that delivers invaluable technical information about Avys.

A must watch if you go into the back country, worth the 30 min...great points near the end we all need to take heed of.

Very Sad story but definitly makes you want to sit back and think about what could happen if you lose the repsect for mother nature she deserves.

If I can download it I'll burn it and mail it to you. Will PM you if successful.

I’ve downloaded it…anyone (within reason…OK the first 20) who lives without high speed access (I feel for you) AND has QuickTime (it is in .mov format) installed on their PC can PM me (with your address) and I’ll snail mail you a copy.

Good vid Todd! Thanks for posting it was a great one to watch! I especially like the rule that if one guy in your group feels uncomfortable the group moves on to something else. I think theres a lot of testosterone on the hill and someone can easily feel pressured into doing something your uncomfortable with.

That said unless you got some big kahunas you would never see the back side of Allen right! Lol unless of course your with your caring knowledgable tour guides! :beer::d:beer:
