Agreed, I went to Boulder in Revy for my mountain cherry bustin :eek:..... But have to agree with Catmando on this one Vale or McBride.... Hope everyone in your group will have all the avy gear (beacons, probes, shovels, etc), you can rent them if you dont own em..... Play safe and have a blast :beer:
