Just saying not much snow , to realy slide.

Plus the snow pack was late , lack of warm cold , rain ect.

So far from what I seen the layers are good , with nothing bad.

Lots of avalanches happening all over the place. With the stuff happening early as well as the new snow and warmer temps???? Yes there will be a lot more

What I was trying to say was I don't think a avy bag would be critical quite yet as its been cold , with no rain , hoar frost ect.

The snow has good layers to it to the ground from where I have checked.




On a side note. Not sure if this guy would rent a avy pack.... Some brands have enough issues not working everytime allready. Now its a rental it get blown off more , and Mabe wears out more faster ???

I agree that its better to have than not.

Look at the percentages of non abs to....

Just was trying to say that Mabe u don't need to search for one so much , as its not needed as much as say 3-4 weeks from now.

Every week its different ect...

I guess its not fair to pick on you Tex, because there are thousands of mountain riders that don't have an avy bag.
It is ALWAYS a good idea to wear an avy bag in the mountains, no matter what time of year it is. Slides occur in the early season too!

I have one.

I suppose but this year is going to be a better year to start as far as snow pack being stable.

Now having said that the way it snowed yesterday and today its going to be deep this weekend
