Where in CO? You been to any 10th MD huts lately? It's a shame, snow pack is unstable enough to have human-triggered avies, but stable enough to have very few natural slides, which gives skiers and boarders a false sense of security, leading to more fatalities. I think that is how the season is going to shape out. Always dig a pit and test (and wear a damned beacon)!
