Im sure most people on this site never learned in there AST course the CAA definition of high avalanche.... "Travel in avalanche terrain not recommended"
i guess when when you can't pick and choose your days you just go for it anyway
im not saying you can't go out-to some. I just think it's interesting especially when we are experiencing the worst deep seeded instability anyone can even remember in the last decade...
and how many times have you driven down the highway when "travel is not recommended"?
Knowing the local conditions, like what has slid, when it last slid, and how much is still up there is a determining factor where one can ride. It is all about what is between one's ears. I have 5 avalanche paths to cross, the rating is HIGH but all 5 are down to the ground, no hang-fire, and I can't safely ride the area (cross the debris pile)? What are you really trying to say?
