yes man I hear you. My wife is also now a bit stressed since ill be in revy on tuesday for a few days. I understand her concern, but also had to pound into her head that us sledders can have a good full day playing in meadows and small bowls with zero risk of avys, where a skier in the back country plays on the looooonggg steeeeeeep runs and chutes.

Very true, my wife is the same way and im sure every man here can attest to that BUT its not everyone of us goin into the "no ski" "no ride zones" tho I am VERY guilty of doing so myself no doubt. BUT the sig others dont need to hear that part

Be Safe everyone, condolences to the friends and family of the brave fallen in these sad acts of nature!

Any one notice how short the news releases are when it's a skier fatality, and how long and sensationalized they are when it's a sledder? Or is it just me?

We've been branded as redneck adrenaline junkies, who seek to out run avalanches on purpose.

Yep I noticed that too! No disrespect to the fallen but we get a very negative shake when it's a sledder It's too bad cause they're all tragic and it should never be used as a platform to brand people.
