I'm doing a little research here. How many of you take your kids out into the back country? What kind of safety equipment do they use? Have they participated in any Avalanche training? What are your thoughts?
My kids have all regularly attended beacon practices and winter education classes. They are to the age now that my oldest ones will be out in the back country as sledders, and as boarders. I want them to be as prepared as can be not only with safety equipment, but with education. I am still teaching winter safety classes in schools and they often help me prepare and are great classroom facilitators.
The big rides are still for us adults, but it's only a few years till they'll be out in the real world away from my protective wing. I pray that I have educated them wisely and pointed them into the direction of safety, as it looks like they've all been bitten by "Sled Bugs"..Like their Mom and Step dad.
Eager to hear what you think. I'm writing an article for joydigger.com | the face of freeride snowmobiling based on this topic. Thanks again Peeps.
