There are lots of advocats here for avy training, and I fully support it, but remember to apply what you learned in the class room, to situations on the hill. I've watched lots of "seasoned" avy trained riders tag a hill in scary conditions, without using their brain to apply what they've learned in the classroom. Just because you've taken the training doesn't mean you know everything about avy's or that you are now "avalanche-proof". Thinking you know-it-all often leads to a cavalier/complacent attitude, oftentimes more dangerous.
If people really want to sled safe - Let's not just preach on the internet, let's apply what we've learned as well.
